Hello all,

I know many of you will be user of "real" coffee making equipment but I hope you can give me some guidance. Whenever my wife and I go on holiday to Spain we always enjoy the coffee served in hotels when we just ask for "Two white coffees please". It comes hot, milky and has a foam on top.
I have tried to create this with my new Jura Impressa C5 but can't quite get it right.
My last attempt (today) I used the Profi Frother to put half mug of hot milk into the mug then quickly switched to the cappuccino froth setting to give it a top of froth. I then almost filled the mug with coffee.
When we were drinking it we were amazed that as we got to the bottom the drink was more milky and only tepid. Why is this? What am I doing wrong? Any advice on how to create a nice milky hot coffee with this machine would be very much appreciated.
I am a complete beginner though so nothing too technical thanks.

Many thanks

Phil

Actually this machine is pretty good. The problem that I have is this, the milk comes out very hot, I warmed the mugs, the froth was hot, the central coffee was hot and the bottom of the drink was tepid. How did it cool down so quick?

To add,

I'm not (at the moment) a coffee aficionado, I just want a nice hot coffee that isn't granulated or pod.
Maybe in the near future I will get into the "proper" equipment, ie, grinder, press etc but I will never get there if you aficionados don't help me enjoy my current coffee more. Please remember we weren't all born into "proper" coffee, we have all drank instant, we need guidance into the world of real coffee not just negative feedback. That kind of feedback makes people give up, which is another potential coffee lover deluded and destroyed never to return.

Please give encouragement not negative feedback. That way more people will "see the light"

Cheers

Phil

Check your user manual to see if this topic may be covered. If your cups, coffee and milk are all hot, it doesn't make sense.

I agree,

Whatever method is used it doesn't make sense. I will try a different method and report back to you.

I fully understand the dilemma. I myself am seriously into high end audio. I can tell when a mains lead has been changed, or an interconnect so I know how you aficionado's must feel. please let us newbies into the inner sanctum.

Ok I was wrong in part of my statement, I have just done a test with the C5. I extracted some milk into a pre-heated mug using the bottom position on the Profi, it was only slightly warmer than the milk in the container, easily drinkable straight off. Should it be hotter than this? I said the milk was hot, not because I KNEW it was but because I expected it to be. My error, sorry.

Time to start with some empirical data: get a thermometer.
