I was very excited to get this!!! Coffee is drank in my house daily and my husband recently discovered home made lattes. I have had the chance to practice several times and it does have a bit of learning curve. The espresso part is easy. The milk part is a bit tougher. After a few tries you’ll be creating foam like a pro. The trick is the thicker crema that is used for latte art. I’m still working on that. I did discover that you can use pre made flavored creamer in a bottle. I still need practice with that one!!
