Thanks for the excellent post and video. I'll be showing the video and giving soap a try for training at my cafe!

Interesting, inexpensive way to practice steaming & pouring latte art. Enjoy.

Been trying the soapy water and instant coffee method. Works somewhat, but boy it tastes terrible. I don't know how you guys can stand it. I'm going back to milk and espresso for my cappas.

Instant coffee, yuck. You need to use good quality coffee from a reputable roaster, freshly roasted and fresh ground. Personally, I find "skim" detergents repulsive. Try 2% or "whole" dish soap, and I think you'll be impressed with the difference.

For me, the biggest difference was definitely switching to organic detergent. 7th Generation is good, if you can get it.

So that what that crap is for? I bought a case of it and now I can finally use it! Maybe I won't need a cleansing fast any more. Like getting a coffee enema and a clearing flush all from the same origin.
