cappucino



(cup by Gary Rith, Mrs Potsblog's hands and midsection by her parents and God)
So a magazine early in the winter talks about Bialetti's Mukka Express, the stovetop cappucino maker. Load it with water, grounds, milk and warm it up: ppppfffft! Double cappucino!!!! No mess, no fuss! It didn't arrive in time for her birthday, so it was an early Easter gift, and look at my own early Easter gift: that shiny new espresso maker on the left!!!!!!!!!!!!! So, I made a special edition of one cappucino cup, and you can see the monster foam there, just grand.

very nice cup indeed. so that's what your cup looks like without a dog, a baby, a shark...
in other words...naked!

ha haha denis said your cup was naked. its true too!

I do like the shape of it. The way the lip of the mug curves in and then back out. Its provocative.

I'll take a cap, full fat milk, lots of foam, and can you swirl the foam so it's like a beautiful peacock?

well, Mona, you see, that's the thing: it gives you the whole frothy mug all together somehow--a miracle! So you don't have a steam nozzle to draw with.
Denis, it is true, sometimes I DON'T put the animals on there.
