Yummy Coffee..........with frothy milk :)

[Fnaar]

Despite her penchant for black Americanos, Miss Goodbody has a special trick to get my milk nice and frothy.

Ugh frothy milk...wet latte all the way for me as @jefmcg is well aware

Waitrose 'free' latte a bit frothy for me but I don't feel I can complain :whistle;

I just microwave the milk for a home based tassimo latte

I only buy the pods when on special and still cheaper and less time consuming than going out

Easy with one of these,

Wish I had seen that before I purchased my £2.50 whisk

There's a reason why Tassimo are heavily discounted: they use a barcode reader to stop other people being able to sell pods for them, so you're limited to the expensive ones approved by Douwe Egberts; no refillable pods are available; and the pod recycling scheme is a sham with few pick-up locations in many areas and those that do exist tend to be in bizarre locations off the beaten track, such as apparently-random residential driveways.
.

Fully agree with those sentiments.
However, I weighed up how much coffee I drink against the 50% discounted price and it was (hopefully) right for me.
I know its a 'real' discount as they are still £120 in Tesco & Currys etc.

Early days for me. I tried it frothy and really enjoyed it. Had a sip of it black and that was also nice.
The coffee was quite hot so tomorrow I may try it without frothing the milk.
As you say, far far cheaper than going to a coffee house..........maybe not AS good but very nice.

What is "wet latte" and how does it differ from a flat white and an americano with milk?

Flat white still frothy (and costs more for less). Americano with milk not very milky

Mines a Dolce Gusto, lots of different flavours and they do tea and hot chocolate pods as well xx

 

[vickster]

Tea pods? Now that I don't get!

People were tried at Nuremberg for putting milk in coffee!

I do not know about this but get the feeling that you are not joking.

I've a Nespresso. Super smashing lovely. George Clooney often pops in for a brew. Or it could be my reflection in the mirror. Hard to tell us apart.

Now I know you're totally joking

So as milky as a latte? Like a cortado with extra milk?

Hot choc pods seem to be a really good idea, with any unmixed powder/syrup remaining in the pod instead of being in the cup.

we've had Nespresso machines, I rate them highly, quality of the coffee is good and it's just no fuss. We even used to take ours on holiday with us

Eventually got tired of buying capsules for it so we bought a De'Longhi bean to cup machine, we used to spend about £30 a month of nespresso capsules, now we just buy maybe 2 bags of coffee a month, it's a lot cheaper but just a little more effort. Worth it.
