Man you guys are being nice 👌 no espresso ninjas here! 😁
Hell yeah man, enjoy! You don’t need fancy equipment to enjoy coffee, this rocks
Agreed! ✨
Maybe that guy that gave away a grinder has an extra everything.
loool
Uh. Dude, I came here from your other post (tried to figure out what machine you were talking about). Did you put milk into one of these?
Yes
Ok. You really shouldn't be doing that. Milk in coffee machines is a bad idea for 2 reasons:
First, and foremost. You will destroy your machines. You are kind of in luck on this one, since your machines rely on steam and don't have a pump the damage wouldn't be as bad, but still. As you've figured already the milk will burn at the hot plate and eventually gunk up the plumbing.
Second. You are overcooking the milk. The heating elements get very hot and will burn the milk at the points of contact and bring the rest of it to boil. You will get both burned taste and that specific overlooked milk smell. You really don't want to heat cow milk to more than 65C. It will irreversibly change it's taste and even texture.
If you want a milk drink, just make your normal strong extraction and add the steamed milk to it(that's the whole point of the steam wand, there are a ton of videos if you aren't sure how to use it).
As for cleaning it, I am not sure, haven't had to deal with this, but my guess would be soak in detergent followed by gentle brushing.
Best of luck on your journey :)
Oh man.
Lol thanks I guess?
The real humble college setup
The really real one.
Yep with a blade grinder you are definitely a coffee snob
lol this wasn’t meant to be a flex….i just enjoy drinking coffee. Not here to compete….just sharing & I’m satisfied with it. Hope y’all have a blessed day. :)
Just so you know OP, we're just teasing you. Thanks for sharing! You can make incredible coffee with very little. Your post is more interesting to me than the same 5K machine being posted over and over. Cheers,
Thanks! Much appreciated!
don't worry. nobody thought you were "flexing".
I’m not convinced this is a real post. This is exactly the kind of post I would make if I were bored…
Shhhhh! 🤫 Let'im have the moment. Don't take the thunder.

Don’t let others get you down. If you’re happy with your equipment and the results there is nothing wrong with that.
