Good presence and body in two parts milk, but remains rather stolid, not quite fully opening and blooming.
This is about coffee?? I would never have thought, ha!
I make a capucchino every evening as a desert coffee after supper with this wonderful little Pixie machine (made in Switzerland for a change!). It is so quick & easy & turns out like this:
