I decided to treat myself today...I bought an espresso maker. Yea! It has everything......except for a frothing pitcher.
The little booklet talks about it...so why wasn't it provided? Where the foo am I going to find a frothing pitcher? I'll have to improvise....I guess. Not like I really know what I'm doing anyways...and I shouldn't be having coffee....but dang it I'd really like to make iced mochas and stuff like that. I can't have a double esspresso anymore...
...all that caffeine would be doing crazy things (bad with my meds...and after the hot flashes I got the last time....ugh. No thanks).
You can use just about anything for a "frothing pitcher". A deep coffee mug works pretty well. All is for is to heat the milk with the steam from the expresso machine. As it shoots the steam into the milk, a froth will develop on top. You can spoon some of the froth on top of Expresso and milk to make a Latte. I really know too much about this stuff!!
