Latte art is all the rage for social media, but do people order them for the taste or just the clout? At home I find steaming milk annoying and then it just feels like Iâm sitting down to a glass of hot milk when Iâm finally done. What are other peopleâs thoughts? Do you like milk drinks? Do you make them at home?
I think itâs pretty difficult to make good tasting espresso, once you get it right itâs the best thing. But most CafĂ©s have people working there not really interested in perfecting the craft of making an incredible espresso and I donât blame them, itâs just a job.
The sweetness in milk hides all the bad flavors you get from bad extraction, from channeling etc. so you get a decent tasting beverage.
If I have to choose between a badly tasting espresso or americano and a flat white or latte, I would always go for the second. But if I know they make a tasty espresso then I go for that.
I could see that from a consistently stand point. I just feel silly buying a glass of milk. To each their own I guess.
