A good morning start for me involves a good cup of coffee. I must admit my preference for coffee has evolved a lot since my university days, from instant coffee to coffee bags and now cafe latte. Even though I love getting coffee from my favourite coffee shop in Orange, there were days I just want to enjoy my coffee in the comfort of my home, in my pajamas. This led to my first purchase of a coffee machine (the one which uses coffee pods) which in my mind, pretty much delivers a barista style coffee at a fraction of the price minus the hassle of lining up for coffee.

I like my coffee to be creamy and slightly frothy. When I’m outside, I usually go for cafe latte. But when I’m at home, I personalise my cafe latte a cross between a cappuccino and latte – basically served in a tall latte glass with a nice layer steamed milk froth. It is pretty obvious that I like my coffee to be heavy on the milk. To achieve the creamy consistency, I like to add either soy or full cream milk.  So when I was introduced to the Barista’s Own Frothing Milk by Devondale, I was intrigued because I couldn’t imagine how long life milk could substitute fresh milk to deliver a barista style coffee. Well, guess what? I was pleasantly surprised.

It is  smooth, creamy, froths well in a frother and best of all, it is made with 2% fat milk. If you are wondering if it has the “funny” taste which screams long life milk, my answer is no. I have also tried heating the milk in the microwave for a minute (depending the size of your mug) and then letting the coffee drip into the milk (I do that sometimes when I’m super lazy). I can still taste the thickness and creaminess in the coffee which I am really pleased about.

In addition to Barista’s Own Frothing Milk for a cafe-style coffee experience, wouldn’t it be nice to have pretty cups and saucers to go with the coffee?

In saying that, I’m excited to partner with Devondale and Nuffnang to give away 4 sets of 6 orange espresso cups and saucers from Espresso Italia. Each set is to be given away each week over the 4-weeks duration of the Devondale’s Barista’s Own Frothing Milk campaign.
