Krups 872-42 Bravo Plus Espresso Maker
$50.00 and worth every penny, especially if your husband is nicknamed Latte Man. Let me know if you want it, and I'll bring it to the beach this summer.
Recipe for the perfect latte:
Three scoops of French roast grounds. We use French roast because it is the darkest roast we can find, even darker than "espresso" roast. Use one cup of milk per latte. Steam it until the foam can support a drizzle of chocolate or carmel syrup. We don't test the temperature of the milk like they do at your neighborhood espresso bar. Not important here. Syrup supporting foam is our priority. Pour coffee through foam, with or without designs, and then drizzle said syrup in cool swirls (not much, just enough for a bit of flavor.) Find a quiet spot. Sip. Slowly. Aaaahhhhh.
Recipe for the perfect, cold version of a latte (sweet):
Do all the same except don't steam the milk. Instead, put espresso and milk in blender, add ice or ice cream (depending on how your jeans are fitting), a little bit of syrup to sweeten things, and blend. Add straw. Add shade. Sip. Slowly. Aaaaahhhhhh.
