Can all cappucinno machine used for making lattes?
I am looking for a coffee machine to makes espresso, cappucino and lattes at the same time. However, most machines I come across only make espresso and cappucinno. And I understand that the steps to makes cappucinno and lattes are quite similar. So can I use a cappucinno maker to make lattes too?
Answers:
Yes. If you keep the steam wand completely sumberged in the milk it will heat and stretch it without making it so foamy perfect for lattes. If you get a machine with an automatic frother there should be an adjustment for how much air is introduced as the milk is pulled through. Check out coffeegeek.com or homebarrista.com
if the machine has a steamer attachment then yes, IF not that would be a problem, but then it wouldn't be cappucinno machine it would be just an exspresso maker.
If you have a machine that can make a cappuccino, it can definitely make a cafe latte, even without the cappuccino maker. If there is a steaming rod, put it all the way into the milk and heat accordingly as required.
With the cappuccino maker, you may need to adjust the milk intake a little, for more milk than air.
