Milking it
Beyond the basic kit, there’s an array
of accessories to consider, particularly
if you want to emulate the skill of your
friendly local barista. Use a frother, for
example, to promote your espresso to a
latte or cappuccino. Within reasonable
limits, Giles warns: “There’s not much
point in trying to turn a filter coffee into
a cappuccino. It’s best with cold milk to
keep the flavour. But a mocha or espresso
is delicious with hot milk.”
