☕ - The hot beverage that powers the world!

Coffee gadgets - It's always great to learn about new gadgets. Please share your favorite hardware or full setups. It might inspire newcomers to experiment!

Local businesses - Please promote your local businesses. If you are not the owner of the business you are promoting, kindly ask the owner if it's okay. It would be great if the business has a physical store to include an exterior or interior shot.

I've tried and tried to get actual espresso art, but I can't seem to get it right. I'm certain my foam is perfect because it's silky and thick and flows out of the cup well. Any advice?

Stretching the milk simply means increasing its volume by incorporating air. If you start with, say, 100ml of milk, when you're finished, you should have perhaps 150ml (depends on the milk, the fat percentage, the drink, etc). But that is all that it means.

Ah okay. Foaming, stretching, basically the same terminology. Thank you
