    Re: hi and a question


    Coffeewise,

    If the freshly made espresso changes characteristics as it cools off, what happens if it is mixed with milk and sipped over a 10 minute period of time?

    Does coffee (when mixed with milk) change characteristics and flavours over a 10 minute period of time?

    Just wondering if I have to gulp down my coffee as quickly as possible in order to get the best out of it, rather than linger and sip slowly over a conversation with someone.

      As Viviane said though James the machine heats up after steaming, it depends on how quickly you can get it back down to shot temperature if it were to be done milk first.

      I should think it is easier to make the shot first then steam than to try adjust the temperature back down.
      After all, they are designed to heat to shot temp.
      If you dont steam you can pull a few shots with less temp variation than forcing the temp up by setting it for steaming.

        John,

        With this type of machine I would extract first and then steam.... you may be able to cool the unit more quickly by either turning on the hot water (if it has such a facility.... or just start to extract without the PF..... that will replace the hot water in the boiler with cooler water and get you back to brewing temperature more quickly.
