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 I’m sitting down to a glass of hot milk when I’m finally done. What are other people’s thoughts? Do you like milk drinks? Do you make them at home?

    I think it’s pretty difficult to make good tasting espresso, once you get it right it’s 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 don’t blame them, it’s 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.
