Rinaz, the coffee in NL is a mix of both. I thought diluting the coffee would tone down the bitter taste. It looked too strong for my tender taste buds (~_!)

Hmm … I think you’d need to get one of those gourmet coffee machines with the ones to steam the milk. The mokka coffee machine cant do that, unfortunately.

Cart used this milk frothener which is actually another tool but he think that its not as good as the real coffee machine.

I dont recommend you to dilute it with water … Why would you want to do that? Tak sedap!

Anyway what kind of coffee are you using? Arabica or robusta? :-)

Haha, yes! Its the foux du fafa song from Flight of the concords :-)

Hm .. shooting the video didnt take too long, probably less than an hour at the most. Its the editing which took longer, maybe a good 3 hours? Because of all the subtitles, the cutting, the pasting and the whatnots :-P

Cartcart

Ahh .. the ever coffee perfectionist :-P

1) stir the coffee before pouring!!

2) NEVER use soap to wash the Moka Express. Wash with water as soon as possible, don’t let the coffee dry, or it’ll be tough to remove. But never use soap. you want a thin layer of coffee oil to shield the aluminium, so that the coffee won’t get a metallic taste.

3) Check for scale. the inside of the lower part tends to get a lot of it. you can use lemon juice or vinegar to remove it. Just remember to wash it with water. Sour and coffee just don’t match :P

4) Keep the rubber ring and the screw thread clean (using water). It’ll be easier to close it tight.

That is one interesting video you make! I know the song! From Flight of the Conchords right? Ha ha ha. How long did it take to make the entire video? From start to finish? Just wondering.

In Rome we had yummy coffee at the hotel – 1 part black coffee n 1 part frothy hot melk. Do u know how to make this ? I hv tried n it turned out bitter – yaks. Hubby thinks it’s a chemistry gone wrong between dutch ground coffee n milk ?

Also with the expresso, u can only make a small cup per serving, right ? Can it be diluted with hot water like the kopitiam uncle does in SG ? It certainly looked like very strong coffee to me. How do the Romans drink coffee like that – I hv seen it at the cafe !

You have the same cups? Really? What kind of coffee does your family drink?

Aww shucks about the comment about SQSS. *hug* How is it going on by the way? I bet that there are a lot of changes already. Its a pity that the school blog isnt updated else I could have seen it for myself.

Do you guys still learn IT?

MKL

oh I see!

Coincidentally this morning I had tea, the loose tea kind and it was such a hassle to drink! There were tea leaves everywhere and I had to filter it.

I am more used to the tea bag types :-P

Most importantly is the coffee made lovingly by a loved one :-)
