Coffee Appreciation

Thanks Scoober,

I'd been warming the group, but not releasing some steam first. I remember now reading that somewhere, but had forgotten all about it. I'll start doing that from now on too, once my next batch of coffee arrives. I've now got a proper milk jug too, so I can try and get that technique sorted. All attempts so far have just left me with hot milk with gobs of foam on top.

I've got the Gaggia Factory 106 (which is extremely similar to your Europiccola), and I have exactly the same problem with foaming milk- please do let me know if you crack it (and vice versa obviously).
