So people who ask for skinny are given full fat. Dodgy hey? Miles reckons lots of cafes do it. :( I do suspect that my fave cafe around the corner uses low fat or full fat rather than skinny, because the coffee there is always sooooo creamy and delicious. I don't really care because it's only a once-in-awhile treat, but I imagine all those extra grams of fat would add up for a regular coffee drinker!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7181106714206176645.post-49562928336434480992009-03-19T11:09:00.000+11:002009-03-19T11:09:00.000+11:00@Elsha - isn't that funny, I guess it's all down t...<I>@Elsha - isn't that funny, I guess it's all down to whatever we get used to. I feel the same way about full fat milk. I can't stand the aftertaste I get, I feel like my mouth's lined with gloop. <BR/><BR/>Skimmed milk's a bit like diet coke is for me - I've grown so accustomed to the taste I'd drink them over their originals even if I wasn't watching my weight any more.<BR/><BR/>On the best milk for foaming question, I heard the total opposite - that the less fat, the easier to foam. I've been trying to get better at making my own at home so reading up on this stuff (you can imagine how costly this caffeine habit can get, don't you know there's a recess... umm economic downturn Ani?) <A HREF="http://coffeegeek.com/guides/frothingguide/steamguide" REL="nofollow">this chap</A> says non-fat is the best for steaming but like you he doesn't like it for taste</I>ani pestohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04634396778826130881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7181106714206176645.post-51551871899301348772009-03-18T22:25:00.000+11:002009-03-18T22:25:00.000+11:00Someone once told me that using real skimmed milk ...Someone once told me that using real skimmed milk for lattes and caps is not very good because it does not froth up as well as say, Hilo or full fat milk.<BR/><BR/>I must admit, I hate the taste of skim milk .... it has this dry, weird taste at the back of the throat. <BR/><BR/>I do sometimes order skinny lattes but usually if I have a shot of caramel or vanilla, it can drown out the skim taste.<BR/><BR/>everynow and again I will have a regular latte....ahhhh BLISS!Elshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07580433256612549284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7181106714206176645.post-68213973954351466682009-03-18T10:02:00.000+11:002009-03-18T10:02:00.000+11:00@kathryn - ugh! don't blame you.
