    ... by the way ... I just had THE best coffee Ive ever made. Absolute GOD shot and almost perfect milk ... The pinnacle of my coffee experience, not just from my own made coffees, but pretty much all the coffees Ive had the experience of drinking.
    Phil, mate, youve evidently not tasted mine yet! ;D

        Hi Philhouse,

        I have a Rancilio Silvia and felt I wasnt getting the best out of my machine so I did a basic Barista course on profesional machines aimed at poeple wanting to work in the industry. It was money well spent. Microfoam is not a hit and miss affair any more. I found that Silvia foamed milk just as well as the pro machines once I had learnt the technique, it just took a bit longer due to smaller amount of steam available from Silvia.

        Whats the secret to perfect microfoam? Im a latte art newbie and recently got myself a Silvia and Im tryiyng to work out how to consistently steam latte art quality milk. Same witih Phil - there seems to be lots of instructions, some of which is specific to certain machines.

        For me it is hit and miss (mostly miss) and the problem is Im not sure where Im going wrong. Can you describe your technique and how long it takes on the Silvia to get to perfect milk?

        It would be great if you can share some common mistakes and how to diagnose/fix these.
