Coffee Appreciation

Fuckin hell Hippy, nice work sir. You got it up and running yet?
Latte art attempt looks like you got good milk texture, but the foam wasn't quite integrated with the milk so you got the stiffer foam come out all at once at the end. A little less time stretching and a little longer spinning the milk and you'll be good. What helps for me is decanting the milk into a second warmed pitcher then pouring half of it back into the first pitcher. This mixes the milk and foam nicely and having less milk in the jug makes free-pouring more accurate.
Looking forward to re-build pics of the Bezzera.

We couldn't work out how to get the Bezzera from the shop to my place (I had to go to work and Mal wasn't at home) so I've not actually got it home yet. I'll try to get a taxi to drop it off on Monday (unless someone out west has a car and wants £20?).
I used it in the shop though so I know it pours and steams ok. The only issues I can see are: it's missing a rubber foot, it needs a clean and I'd like to change the orange panels to some other colour. I'm serious. Coffee Hipster!

I'm not really about the "artwork" and I still want to keep my coffee making as fast as possible since I usually still need to drink it quick before leaving for work so I'll keep practising with as little equipment as possible but I will follow your tips re: stretching time. Thanks! :)
