Oh wow, I love these forums - super detailed information, thanks very much for the link! While that post isn't 100% definitive on the root cause, it really seems to be what I am experiencing

Quick question for those barista gurus out there. What would be specific about a container of milk that would make it not microfoam properly? I got a new half gallon of whole dairy milk recently, which is organic local milk ({link}). I've used this brand of milk a bunch in the past and have had no p...

Yeah, I saw a similar comment on Reddit, and I only have to believe that this was an early run issue. I've probably made about 15 drinks with it so far (yeah, I went a little nuts trying it out with different levels/flow controller combos when I first got it) and I have never had a problem. As far as

I feel like many of the comments here are a bit harsh. I thought the top comment on the NYTimes website was such a nice thought and a good way to interpret the article:

Decided to take the plunge and try it out. The NanoFoamer Pro arrived today (was only a couple days from ordering to arrival) and honestly I couldn't be more impressed. This thing makes *perfect* microfoam with whole milk (I don't drink plant milks so can't comment on that), and it really is just po...

I'm surprised Red Bird Espresso, {link} , hasn't been mentioned in this thread. I think I first found out about Red Bird on HB years ago and it was a fan fave. I was blown away when I first tried it - to me it has this amazing aroma of chocolate and nuts. Opening a new bag literally smells like

I don't know if an HBer created and posted this, but just wanted to say thanks to whomever created this tool: {link}. Was trying to replace some o-rings and for the life of me couldn't get some of the sensors back on (I think the new rings may be a tad wider or at least less compressible). Was searc...

Search for "rpavlis" water, it's a popular non-scale forming solution. It's simply 0.1 g of potassium bicarbonate per liter of distilled water, so to make it just dissolve 10g of potassium bicarbonate in a liter of distilled water to make a concentrate, then you just add 10 mL (or 10g) of that conce...

Yeah, that's why I've never considered doing this previously. The difference between true microfoam and frothed milk from a cheap frothing want or even something like a Nespresso Aeroccino (which is about $80) is night and day to me. It was only when I saw that video review for the NanoFoamer Pro di...

I came across this lever machine advertised on Aliexpress, and I have to admit I'm pretty curious. While I would never take the plunge on a complicated electric pump machine on Aliexpress, looking at this one it seems like there are a lot fewer parts to mess up or be of crappy quality. I mean it's b...
