The Coffeehouse.... Baristi, Barista, Bariste

You are forgetting that coffee from a Moka pot is generally stronger than an espresso though, as the water is in contact with the coffee for longer. To me, it makes little difference if you have the Crema from an espresso in a latte or not. Crema is not the best tasting part of an espresso.

My point was about “accuracy”.

According to Baristas, http://www.baristaguide.com/insights...-jason-haeger/ Latte is made with espresso.

I know where you are coming from though, as my Bialetti Moka pot was used for years to make a decent coffee. I have two of them, both are about 30 years old.

I have discovered something interesting in looking this up. It appears that I have always used my Moka pot incorrectly.
I used to heat the water from cold....

Kevin, with the greatest of respect, I don't give a flying monkeys what Baristas think; I'm speaking from the perspective of 1000s of Italians, who've been drinking caffe latte in their homes, since the year dot! Either accept that or don't, but it's a fact.

Now please give this up, as you're starting to piss me off.

I'm a big fan of pour over, especially if you have really complex beans, seems to be able to get the best out of them.

A very different experience to espresso mind you and some reckon too much fuss, but that's all part of it. It's also inexpensive compared to an espresso machine. I normally try new roasts with a pour over first, I find it thearuptic and perfect for my tastes as a 'nothing added' person.

Come on Marco, say what you mean and don’t mince your words man.
Oh, hang on, you did.

If I said that to you, I would probably be banned.

I think I’ll take a short break from AoS, and enjoy a nice coffee instead.

Caffe Latte is pretty much a national drink to Italians, and made with a Moka Pot. Even if its not espresso(it usually gets called and espresso maker) it still makes a caffe Latte. Totally different thing.

I hate to break it to you but coffee not only comes after water and tea, but beer, too! :)

But a sandwich should be an adventure. If it isn’t; you’re not making it properly!! ;)

Lol - I completely agree. A good sandwich, made with quality bread (the most important element for me) and a top-notch filling (Del makes a lovely Coronation chicken, which is one of my favs), is a wonderful thing, but it's not something I tend to have often, out with of the summer months, as I prefer a proper cooked hot meal.

I like salads too, but only in the summer. Just my personal preference:)
