All aboard the Mukka Express to Cow-ppuccino town!

While we were in Ireland, we went into a coffee shop in Kilkenny to get some tea and coffee. In this store we saw a funny little coffee maker that claimed that it could make cappuccino on the stove top...on Thursday we bought one on sale in Frankfurt.



We have used it twice so far, and are quite impressed with it.

It works as follows:
  1. Water goes in the bottom black section
  2. Coffee goes in a filter between the black part and the cow part
  3. Milk goes in the cow (goes against the grain somehow)
  4. Whole thing goes on the stove
  5. Water in the base gets hotter, and the pressure pushes the water up through the coffee, and out into the cow section at the top
  6. When the pressure gets high enough, the button on the cow pops, and the pressure is then used to automatically froth the milk that is in the top section
Very cool.

Tschüß,
'Brush
