I'd be interested in your technique. I purchased an Anita two weeks ago, and getting the espresso down was the easy part.
There seems to be plenty of advice on frothing milk, but general agreement that the bigger machines are difficult to use (at least for the uninitiated). My original Anita steam tip heated milk (skim, full, whatever) very quickly no matter what the depth and angle, and produced a few pathetic bubbles. I ordered the Pasquini 4 hole tip and the Isomac 2 Hole Steam Tip ... I've been experimenting with the 4-hole -- it both heats faster, and now leaves it truly bubble free. I may try a range of techniques and then move on to the Isomac 2-hole, with the smaller holes.
I've been using my little Nespresso whirly milk whipper, which does a pretty good job, but somehow would like to see a video of the Anita in action. Any suggestions? Does anyone know of videos that would show 1-hole operation as discussed here?
