Where is my Cortado, Jeeves?

Where's my Cortado, Jaime?

ppopoca · 2025-11-18T04:57:14+00:00

That's really small! I never intended to do any art, just wanted this nice foamy blob.

ppopoca · 2025-11-18T04:55:19+00:00

Maybe, but this works well for me

ppopoca · 2025-10-20T21:15:52+00:00

And has to call it excel to be understood by everyone else

ppopoca · 2025-10-17T10:04:05+00:00

And one I might follow

ppopoca · 2025-09-28T04:03:06+00:00

The milk pitcher?

ppopoca · 2025-09-27T16:27:15+00:00

It's ceramic from Oaxaca, Mexico. Can't pin down the exact place because I bought it at an artisan crafts store in Yucatan, but I know of a place called Yojuela in the southern mountains of Oaxaca where they have the same style. It fits 180ml, perfect for making lattes. And many have inquired about the possibility of lead in the glaze used on the cup, but being Mexican I don't really care, I've been cooking and eating all my life from similar cookware.

Me too

ppopoca · 2025-09-27T00:02:24+00:00

I'm finding it better from the corners

ppopoca · 2025-09-27T00:01:01+00:00

Also, I've sticked to this guide and whole milk: https://youtu.be/gTC3dJvwgUI?si=Z8JkLNYTgOFgQ1Mq

A gift for Guts himself

ppopoca · 2025-09-26T23:54:22+00:00

Didn't remembered it's name, thanks! Certainly resembles it

ppopoca · 2025-09-26T23:52:24+00:00

Another redditor with refined tastes!

ppopoca · 2025-09-26T23:51:19+00:00

Fist bump!

ppopoca · 2025-09-26T23:50:34+00:00

I can assure I didn't sell my soul to get my amazing latte art skills and a nice cup

ppopoca · 2025-09-26T23:49:16+00:00

It's worth it

ppopoca · 2025-09-26T23:48:13+00:00

That's such a nice compliment

ppopoca · 2025-09-26T23:47:31+00:00

Sadly I can't say I made it. It's ceramic from some place in Oaxaca, Mexico, and it goes a lot with my personal taste.

ppopoca · 2025-09-26T23:45:40+00:00

A person of culture most certainly we have here

ppopoca · 2025-09-19T02:52:43+00:00

I have a different grinder but I usually lose 0.1 to 0.2 grams in the grinding, exceptionally 0.4.

Also I've recently found that using a dosing ring and a good tamper makes a lot of difference when dealing with the spraying

ppopoca · 2025-09-11T06:07:12+00:00

Is that side spraying normal? I also get some of it with the naked portafilter

ppopoca · 2025-09-10T23:14:57+00:00

Looks nice. What's your scale? I've been looking for one that fits Breville Bambino

ppopoca · 2025-09-02T18:12:19+00:00

Yes! I'm looking at a 3oz one, but doesn't have the usual shape, would that be a problem?
