Nothing beats a latte and how great is it to be able to make it at home! I love coffee and espresso so this seemed like an obvious purchase for me. If you haven't figure it out yet, I love IKEA. It's such an easy and cheap way to make simple updates to your home, especially when you are single and in your 20's and 30's. Some of my favorite IKEA purchases are kitchen gadgets. I would love to buy a nice espresso maker with a steam frother, but that's not exactly in my working student budget. The RÅDIG Espresso pot was a great option, especially for only $19.99! I also had already purchased the MÅTTLIG Milk-frothing jug for $6.99 and the PRODUKT Milk-frother for only $2.79.
The process of making the espresso is extremely simple and the IKEA espresso pot includes detailed directions in almost every language. Basically you fill the bottom portion with water to just below/at the safety valve, add the ground espresso to the funnel filter and place it on the stove! Voila! You've got espresso in no time!
I added some milk to the frothing jug and heated it up as well. The milk frother is not the most efficient and takes a lot of time to get a decent amount of frothed milk. There should only be a little left in the bottom that is not frothed.
The best part of making these at home though is adding the flavor. The commercial chains and grocery store products have a lot of added processed sugar and I personally like to know what exactly is going into my coffee or drink. My favorite combination is vanilla and cinnamon and just simply add the vanilla to the milk before I heat it up ans sprinkle the cinnamon on top. Cheers!
