I made my first homemade latte today !

dscn301821-500x290

It came out alright, I dont think I packed enough espresso in, I also think I put too much water in, and skim milk is definitely NOT awesome in a latte….but I have confidence it will improve in the next few tries!

I don’t own an espresso machine, I have a stovetop espresso maker and an automatic milk steamer/frother.

The stovetop espresso maker is by Bialetti, and the automatic frother is a Nespresso Aeroccino.  These two items together are much more affordable than an espresso machine, and I feel very versatile.  The average stovetop espresso maker runs around $30, and the automatic milk frother was $90.  These items are also much friendlier to the limited counter space that I have compared to what an espresso machine would be, which is also important in our tiny kitchen.

Also, the milk frother is awesome for hot chocolate. too….seriously all you do it pour in the milk, put it on the stand that you see in the pic, and push the button.  That’s it!

So while I was visiting my parents I managed to find some beautiful copper cookware pieces in their basement that they weren’t using and let me have. However, they have been sitting in the basement for a very long time. Using some lemon and salt, I managed to polish this egg beating bowl quite nicely, except there must have been a leak at some point and you can see the green where some water dripped in it and stayed – green copper is toxic – no amount of lemon juice or vinegar seems to be dissolving it for it to come off, and scrubbing has yielded little success – any tips? I’d really like to restore these pieces to functional condition and use them in my kitchen
