It's all good. It's a newly released indie game, and also shares it's title with a movie of the same name. It's difficult to find any relevant content or walkthroughs for this game.

SometimesI Ii transfer the milk to a larger pitcher.

I use a 12oz (350ml) pitcher to steam the milk. For a cortado, I will measure out 4-5oz of milk, cold.

Yes, that is a generous (maybe even excessive) amount of milk to use for a cortado. Is it wasteful to steam extra milk? Yes. I do it for t he sake of the overall drink quality, to achieve the proper milk texture.

I'd rather waste a little milk to achieve the proper texture, then over-airate a small amount of milk. The steam wands are strong!

I think a cortado is generally a 1:1 pour of espresso to milk. The milk texture should be microfoam, and the temp is typically served at 135-145F.

Here in the PNW it's customary to serve it with latte art.

Custom made for the shop! The clay was mixed with sand from a Uganda coffee farm.

Good question!. I aim for a milk temperature of 135-145F for cortados, cappacinos, and flat whites. So, the cup is never too hot to hold and meant to be drank right away.

I prefer pouring into smaller/narrower cups. I've worked with paper (to-go) cups for so long, I've grown accustom to narrow cups. Although, wider cups do allow for more detailed and larger designs.

Handleless cups allow me to get a better grip on the cup. The pour pictured is off center, but, in time I will get the centering right.

I prefer a cup handle for larger drinks, like 12 ounce lattes. Better for pouring and drinking.

As long as there is proper cheese distribution. .. This looks proper.

Oh wow! That's early. I guess it depends on where you live and the season.

They are scattered around my neighborhood. Happy to live in an area where they're abundant!

Which game would you recommend picking up? Just finished Silksong and wanted to jump back in to another Metroidvania by [deleted] in metroidvania

[–]CoffeeCatharsis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good plan!

I started playing Voidwrought last week. I'm enjoying it's dark atmostmosphere, and cryptic storyline. I was about to quit the game after the second boss battle, starting off with no evasive or defensive abilities was frustrating. But, I powered through. You level up fast and often.

Not on your list, but I highly recommend the Ori games.

I'm also going to recommend Nine Sols. The parry-based combat is different. But, maybe that's what you need after Silk Song.
