I missed my cats, my family, and my coffee machine! Now that I return I can experiment with milk alternatives preparing a nice latte in my 'barista' coffee machine ๐
Ades is the most common brand in Mexico of soy milk, the flavor is super good and thanks to the gums (added) is a perfect one for foaming and preserve the texture of the latte. (plus the price is super affordable).
๐ค as a #nerdyfact: to generate a good foam is important to do not overheat this "mylk" is better if you use it directly from the fridge. The final temperature should do not exceed 60 C. Air is important to create the perfect foam too, so take in mind to place the steam wand in the correct place and close it when the temperature increases (if you have a thermometer much better, you can check the temperature and not only calculate it ๐). The quality of coffee is the main point to create a good coffee. here I used a Mexican coffee from Chiapas (one of the main producers of coffeea arabica in Mexico). As a science and food nerdy I am obsessed with having the best coffee extraction, so I try to keep everything in place to have the best sensorial experience โ๏ธ
rikeshย Iโm super jealous of you having a barista machine Abi, now iโm definately coming round to your house for a coffee!! ๐ โ๏ธ I have a โmilk foaming machineโ that I used sometimes, otherwise itโs a regular nespresso to keep me going during the day! ๐๐ฝ ๐3 likesReply

gwendaย I'm glad you missed your cats ๐ป and I'm sure your cats missed you too ๐๐บ (just to say something else... ๐ I afraid I'm not such a "Barista" like you others, I prefer to drink my coffee black, without anything else..., just black ๐๐๐) but I love cats a lot โบ !!! ๐๐1 likeReply
abi88ย I love coffee in all ways. The first of the day must be black, the second with a bit of mylk after that I like to try the latte, some days after lunch an espresso is the option ๐โ๏ธ1 likeReply
gwendaย I see... yes, if I've had a lot of black coffee all day, I also add some mylk in the last cup of coffee I drink, and even sugar... ๐คฆโบ๐ Reply
