Hi, we upgraded from our Aeropress to a Saeco Via Venezia today. I was actually looking at getting a Sunbeam 4800 or 5600, but the saleswoman at Harvey Norman convinced me that Saeco were a much better brand. Ive had a few goes now at making coffees with it and have to say that Im loving it so far but have a few questions.
- the saleswoman said that I didnt need a tamp because it had a semi-automatic tamping system. You just click the head twice once its locked in and thats the tamping done. How does that work or was it just sales BS?
- frothing the milk. Im not a huge fan of lots of froth, I prefer more milk than froth. So far, Im basically making milkshakes. Any hints on how to make hot milk with a bit of froth would be great.
- stainless steel milk jug. Do I really need one or can I use our old plastic jug? My mate has one with a thermometer attached to the side that he got as a present. Does anyone know where you can get these?
Thanks for your help. 6 coffees strong so far and maybe one more for the nite.
Cheers.
Brad
