  • I have a DeLonghi Caffe Corso bean to cup machine. I think it makes pretty good espresso with the right bean, but I am struggling to get decent milk using the steamer. Anyone have any tips/hacks? Is it just because I am shit at it?

  • It's got a panarello(sp?) rather than a steam tip you see on expensive machines so you'll be limited in how good you can get your milk. With those you don't really have any control over the output, just stick it in the milk and it does its thing. They're good for easily getting warm frothy milk consistently but when I had one I could never get latte-art quality microfoam from it. I know there are aftermarket kits for some machines like the Gaggia classic that lets you fit a proper steam tip but I don't know if it's possible on that one.
