Description

Episode 59: In this episode, Stephen tackles a question from a local questioner about how to steam milk for his lattes and cappuccinos using the cheap, old, big box store espresso machine he has on hand. Stephen discusses milk steaming technique, points to a few excellent resources and tools for getting great milk foam, and (because home coffee roasters are a scrappy bunch) proposes some solutions that will (hopefully) elevate the results of even low-end equipment!
