What? No points deducted for oat milk?!

And how the heck do you milk an oat anyway...?

Gotta learn someday.

Not to deride Grant's efforts, of course, but that's a proper pour. Respect.

Thanks - my first effort this morning was much better!

Adam - to milk an oat you need very slender fingers, with extraordinary strength! To be serious, though, this Oatly stuff seems to suit my innards better than real milk, and you can coax a quite reasonable textured foam out of it, with the Oscar II.

Flat white.

Here's my 'rig':

I must clear out my collection of espresso machines - under my desk I have the Nuova Simonelli Oscar 1 that preceded this machine, and a Gaggia Classic which I've had for years, and like an old Morris Minor can be kept going ad-infinitum at minimal cost. I've also got a Gaggia MDF grinder and a Nuova Simonelli Grinta MMT, but I find the Sage to be more convenient.

We order in loads of the Lavazza coffee Grant so I could get you a 1Kg bag with our next order, or of you like I could split one and send you 500g?

Nuova Simonelli actually supplied it with the machine, along with a really nice heavy tamper and milk jug.

Not done one for a while

This is a bit more like it! Again, with Oatly Whole oat milk. Coffee is Waitrose Monsooned Malabar, which is OK, and cheap, but not as nice as the last lot that I bought.
