    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

    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'

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    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!

    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

    I deliberately zoomed in and highlighted the jammiest bits, just for Grant!

    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?

    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.
