milk pouring woes

can't figure out why I can't pour the milk properly into the center of the cup
sis says that my presentation is crap

perhaps it's the spout on the cheap jug we've got that is not pointy enough

so went ahead and ordered a 750ml Metallurgica Motta Europa Milk Jug from coffeeparts.com



hope it will fix the problem!

followup: the 750cc jug didn't solve the problem, the wand was too short for the jug. went forth with a 500cc jug, smaller is better!

steam wand modded!

learning from coffeegeek & coffeesnobs that the rancilio silvia wand is compatible with a little fiddling, I went ahead and ordered one from Mocopan in Melbourne. Received it overnight and mod took 30 minutes or so, now with the longer wand, steaming milk is a breeze!

got machine back from servicing

wow! a total new machine, it steams fast and has much more pressure to pump out an espresso with finer grinds.. pity the steam wand is crap. time to mod!

a little history

I've had a Gaggia Baby domestic coffee machine for awhile now.
After repeated nagging sessions from my sister, I went to a proper coffee making course and had the machine sent for service,
now to document my new found skills and relearning of how to appreciate coffee
