Coffee is as important in the big scheme of things as pizza. I can't even imagine a day without a cappucino. What do you do? Go to a coffee bar (an expensive habit!) or make your own. Do you have a machine? A grinder? Where do you get your beans? Do you use it every day, or just on weekends?
Inquiring minds want to know.
To kick things off, I have a manual La Pavoni at our rental house here, and buy pre-ground Illy. I used to buy Lavazza Gold, but the grind of the Illy works better with my machine and the flavor it great -- despite the fact that it is incredibly expensive. Oh well, small luxuries. I have a Rancillio back in the states, and am thinking of getting a grinder and finding locally roasted beans when we get back. Or I might keep buying Illy beans. For now, I am in good shape.
Because I work from home, I make a couple of cappucino's every day, and we go to a local coffee bar once a week or so. I've taken a couple of coffee making lessons from Michael, and he helped a lot. My crema on my coffee is better, and my steamed milk is a lot more creamy, with tighter air holes.
What do you do?
