Yeah I stirred it with a teaspoon to blend all the milk in with the coffee. Then used the very last of the milk to do the +/-.

I'm not claiming talent here:D

Dr Barrista sez: I would use a much bigger shot for that amount of milk.

Looks too pale for a cappuccino.

Lol - trust me it wasn't - very rich and tasty. Two shots of espresso is plenty in that cup... Cappuccino isn't supposed to be strong [traditionally in Italy] - just a bit more so than a latte. It's the lighting making it look 'pale':D

i'd keep it running til half full personally then add milk

Would you like some toast with your jam?

Lol - I don't need a barista to train me how to make a cappuccino. I'm Italian, so I *know* what a cappuccino should taste like, for ITALIANS in ITALY!:ner::D

I've also been drinking them for the best part of 50 years...

That's not to say I wouldn't also like it made differently for a change [either by your 'barista' or you, lol], but I'm normally a traditionalist, so enjoy my food and drink served in an authentic and traditional way:)

Yeah I know you enjoy it like that mate, and that's cool, but that's not how it's done in Italy:)

Can you imagine how much it would cost cafes and restaurants, and what they'd have to charge to make a profit, if they put that much espresso inside a cappuccino?:eek:

Hm. I've never considered the Italians to either grow or make the best coffee.

I know they are keen on it, but that's irrelevant. The respect simply goes to the producers of the beans. Whatever style you wish to serve it is a personal choice.
