This was done using a delonghi icona espresso machine. Entry level as far as home machines go. The black case over the steam wand is supposed to aid frothing. I took it off, leaving a steaming jet.
I’ve recently upgraded to a smeg ECF01 which is a much prettier entry level machine, though puts out a fairly consistent product.
Each machine has its nuances. The best thing to remember is to use your senses. Keep your other hand on the side of the jug. If it’s too hot to handle, it’s burnt. Listen for the sounds - a nice tsst tsst sound when the wand is at the surface of the milk is the stretching that produces a micro foam. Anything gurgly will give you big bubbles - no good. Once you’ve stretched a bit, you can dip the wand in slightly further and create a nice vortex. I try and get a nice W shape in the milk vortex. This should be relatively silent. Keep an eye on how the milk is reacting to the angle you hold the jug. Trial and error.
We’re lucky to have a great standard of coffee in Australia to benchmark against. In cities where competition is high, you won’t pay more than AUD $4 for a very good coffee. It does add up though, so if you can come closer with a home machine, you’ll learn a neat new skill and save yourself some money. Good luck!
