Latte art is all the rage for social media, but do people order them for the taste or just the clout? At home I find steaming milk annoying and then it just feels like I’m sitting down to a glass of hot milk when I’m finally done. What are other people’s thoughts? Do you like milk drinks? Do you make them at home?
I’m not an espresso guy. Never have been.
But I love coffee. And I prefer my coffee with either milk or cream.
To me, there is much of the taste of coffee that gets hidden by the strength of coffee itself. The various lattes and americanos and such all work to allow some of the subtler flavors to come to the front to some degree or another.
Now, my personal preferences don’t run to that kind of thing, I prefer coffee with just a splash of dairy rather than the kind of milk drinks you’re really asking about. But I would say that it’s similar enough. I do enjoy those kind of drinks, just not as my main coffee choice
The synergy of milk and coffee is a good one. The only coffee I’ve ever had that I prefer without at least a tiny splash of milk is blue mountain. That stuff is magic. Even then, I tend to add the milk in as the coffee ages a bit. But a fresh bag? Black is best then.
