Woohoo! My first big coffee making challenge. The Task:
14 in-laws at my house (my wifes cousins had spread the word)
Order of 12 cappuccinos
About 2/3 bag of Rio coffee (from Jetblack - this is a great blend IMO)
Just over a litre of milk
1 VBM Domobar Piccolo Single boiler dual purpose
I had never made that many coffees before and I wasnt sure I had enough beans and milk. Luckily I had a dozen Japanese tea cups (100ml) so 12 piccolo lattes (with chocolate) it was to be.
The result: 12 satisfied customers. There was more than enough coffee and 3 x 600ml jugs of steamed milk did the job (not full to the brim). I even managed a couple of rudimentary rosettas (not that anyone noticed), and some were adding 3 sugars to their coffees even when I told them it would already be a bit sweet. Philistines
I really enjoyed the challenge and the machine was more than up to the task. only had to top up the water once. I didnt time myself but I reckon it took me about 15 mins or so.
