@@ButteredSideUp Thank you! I've been waiting for that to happen. Now I'll finally be able to try one (in case you haven't guessed I really dislike plastic😅).
Hello! About the last method: There's a manual milk frother which looks nearly identical to a French press -- except much skinnier. It does the job quickly and easily and retails for about $20-$40, usually for the same exact frother. Bonjour makes a good inexpensive version. IMO it's best to avoid the ones with plastic pitchers instead of borosilicate glass (like a F. press) -- or with a plastic (instead of steel) center plunger. Those indicate poor quality; this means harder to achieve foam and possible plasticky taste from being warmed. Of course, the borosilicate is easier to break if you're clumsy like me. But they make perfect foam; I can make cappuccinos all day. Speaking of breaking my equipment, this is perfect timing as I'm waiting on my new frother and I've been at a total loss at what to do. Thanks so much for this video!
Thank you so much for the tips! I’ll have to go check out those glass manual frothers. I have a stainless steel one which pumps more smoothly than a French press, which is nice.

You are quite the barista! Great techniques!
Aeropress is awesome! I got mine as a birthday gift and it’s been so much better than a standard French press
Do you know if they started making a glass version yet?
Yes, I just looked and they came out with a metal and glass version!

I know I'm getting over my head with this coffee thing, but you make it easy enough for a gear head like me to attempt. Thanks
