From Kev, Mind Blown... Auto Milk Steaming with ALL Sage Machines (and most others, too)...

Hello ,

Learning to properly texture consistent jugs of milk is a real pain, as I know myself! It took me years to learn to pour latte art, and I reckon the main reason for that is lack of consistency when it comes to milk texture. 

My son wipes the floor with me when it comes to latte art, despite the fact that I taught him! ;-) He can pour sea horses, flipping sea horses! I can pour hearts and flowers, that's about it. 

But he's a pro barista, and one of the things about being a barista is that you learn to consistently steam jug after jug of perfectly textured milk, using machines which have the steam power to make that possible with a bit of practice, and of course they get a lot of practice.

Anyway, there's a pro barista steaming hack, called Ghost steaming, which I thought only worked on pro machines with mega steam power.

My son is a Barista for Kickback Coffee Roasters, and his boss showed him recently that this actually works with Sage machines! I was very skeptical actually, until I got to the studio the next day, and blow me down with a feather, it chuffing works, like a dream!!


 

Watch the Video

In theory at least, this will work on just about any espresso machine with a pro steam wand. 

In this short video I show you how to do it, and I explain the most common mistakes & issues, and how to correct them. 

If you've struggled with producing decent milk texture consistently, trust me, give this a watch, once you get the knack of this (which you probably will after just a couple of attempts), you'll never look back.


Thanks, 

Kev

Your Weekly B.R.E.W. The Magic of Wine and Coffee Pairing

Hello, wine and coffee enthusiasts!

Get ready to cheer for another year of National Drink Wine Day, an occasion created by Todd McCalla (the same awesome dude that created National Margarita Day, celebrated on February 22nd!) to bring people together, raise a glass and celebrate the joy of wine. This year, the festivities are on February 18th, so make sure to gather your squad and make some memories!

Wine had a big year in 2022 and is still crushing it. The USA Wine Ratings crowned Coventina Vineyards Pinot Noir Reserve as the Best Wine of the Year in 2022. And who can forget the fascinating discovery of the oldest winemaking evidence in Tbilisi, Georgia, which was estimated to be around 8,000 years old! 

Believe it or not, wine and coffee are like two peas in a pod. They share similar qualities like body, mouthfeel, acidity, and aroma. Experts use these factors to rate both drinks, making them a match made in heaven.

To make the most of this duo, try experimenting with different coffee bean types that complement each wine. For example, Waka Coffee's dark roast is a great match for a bold red wine, while a medium-bodied wine like Merlot pairs well with Waka Coffee's medium roast. And for a refreshing white wine like Pinot Grigio, Waka Coffee's light roast is the ideal companion.

So, turn up the fun and get creative with your drinks! Celebrate National Drink Wine Day by playing matchmaker with your wine and coffee. Don't be afraid to mix things up and create a new, exciting pairing. Let's make it a day to remember!
