"Mukka" pots

by **JonEdwards** » Thu Jul 27, 2006 3:13 pm

My old man has recently expressed a desire for a "cappucino" machine after having had me make him a proper cappa (he currently drinks nescafe instant cappucino out of a packet :shock:

)

He will use it once, maybe twice a week and wants something that is as litle faff as possible. Price is also an issue.

I've seen these things. Basically a normal Moka pot, but you fill the top with milk, and then as the water boils, the steam produced (attempts to?) foams it.

Anyone know if they work as advertised? I can't imagine them being brilliant, but they do at least involve real coffee and real milk! Is it going to be any better than spending £100 on a bottom of the range Krups espresso machine which is never going to work particularly well?

Thank y'all!

Can't comment on the 'mukka' pot but if the alternative is cheap pump espresso machine you could try this:

The problem is likely to be when he perceives the taste difference between a top end machine and a cheap one.

How about a cafetiere and a milk frother

An Aerobie with a milk frother would be a good call.

Thanks AlanP! The video is great. I don't know why, but I found myself laughing while watching it. I think it really might be the right thing for the espresso-machine challenged cappucino lover. I wonder what the stuff tastes like. Cheers, good fun.

Ofcourse, there's always the Brikka video

Never tried them, and somehow I don't seem to like milk in my coffee.

I've got one (a freebie), and not the greatest invention and cetainly not the toy of a coffee person, its an interesting method all the same.
