Oh, I so find milk foam useless and annoying also… Ughhh
“Hot milk greatly improves the taste of coffee, but I find milk foam useless and annoying. My mother (who makes the most delicious coffee in the world), is obsessed with a particularly potent mechanical foam maker. The result is a layer of impenetrable foam, a kind of lacto-stucco. I have to gnaw my way through it before being able to get to the actual coffee. Apart from that she really makes the best coffee in the world.”
By Christoph Niemann – The New York Times
Huh. To me, the rich, creamy, “lacto-stucco” milk foam that only the most special baristas can make is the best thing about cappuccino!
