Getting Laited with warm milk
I am about to turn 70 in what people call their golden years, those times when you spend at least 20% of your waking hours "kvetching" or complaining about parts of your body that don't work. But, there are advantages - you don't sleep all night is one. Therefore at 3:30 to 4:00 AM the coffee starts grinding and aroma fills the air and it's time to go to the coffee, but with its being cold outside and the joints are stiff, you can now make it to the kitchen. Starbucks is not open and if they were, the social security checks don't pay for their brew. But, in life there is an answer for everything and FROTH AU LAIT solved it for us. It was not my idea to buy it. My wife has all the ideas in my home, that is why or 43 years I live in a "House of Corrections". "We should buy a milk frother". Another brilliant idea from the left side of the bed. The pronoun "we" should buy, translated is "YOU" should buy. So I did. In one click I had the Froth au lait on its way. The next morning while WE were still asleep, I played Juan Valdez and blended my beans and then beat the milk. I expected the machine to blink 12:00, but it was so easy to use, I didn't have to find a teenager to help me. It was the ultimate plug-in. Plug and play. The foam came up and married the coffee and it was a wedding made in heaven. Hip Hip for Froth Au Lait. You made my day and every one of my mornings. I don't usually write comments as they normally go nowhere. But, even if the US Senate is broken and the government can't get anything done, I can at least let the Amazonians like me know of my discovery. Why spend hard earned money on Starbucks when the "bucks" are better spent on the inexpensive alternative that amortizes itself in a month and is there when and where you want a latte. I hope others vote for this product, we need more happy face in economic hard times and it is hard to believe that foam goes a long way.
30 Days a month, my wife wakes to a latte and I've eliminated one more reason to be corrected - I am right every day. Happy New Year, the Frothing Gourmet
