  • I’ve got a very similar experience to you. Bought a barista express at half the price about 4 to 5 years ago when it was on clearance (display model) at half the price. Impulse buy but honestly one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. Years later I still can’t get a consistent froth on my milk.

    I’ve noticed that the steam wand produces a different pressure of steam every time. Sometimes it’s like a jet and sometimes it’s just a whistle. Spoke to a technician that came to repair my pressure gauge and he told me it probably wasn’t cleaned out properly but I clean it and flush it every time. Even drown the thing in milk detergent after every use.

    Still, have loads of fun and coffee is great by my standards








  • Yes babies are supposed to be fat. But not from sugar. To the best of my knowledge , when they are older and able to consume solid foods, things like actual fat or butter are fine ( the stuff that clogs arteries etc) but there is no point in a baby’s development that requires sugar as a necessity.

    So it’s not really that the article is based on guidelines for adults and applying it to babies. It’s simply that the guideline for babies is that sugar is not necessary and can actually be more harmful than a multitude of other alternatives that can fulfill the same energy requirements of a baby subsistent wholly on milk.
