My first thought reading that was “only a stoner would come up with an idea like that”. Nice one!! Always interesting to see new ways of doing things.

These eggs went cold a long time ago. New material please!

Moko: I think the less credence this method is given the better off all our espresso machines will be :) I’m still waiting to be struck down…

Foodlover: You can bet that the steamwand was well and truly clean before it was used for steaming milk again. It is stainless steel after all… It would have to be some fairly intense and prolonged egg blasting to infuse itself into the metal.

But yeh, I would perhaps not bother trying and focus on making good coffee instead :)

I’m curious to know if you were REALLY able to clean the wand after… or did your next 10 lattes tasted of scrambled eggs?
Have to say I’m tempeted to try this at home, but my husband might kill me if I mess up with his beloved coffee machine

Lightly oiling the wand before beginning might help.

But yeah, stay inside during storms for awhile. I believe you just made yourself into a mobile lightening rod. ;o)

Kelley: Easy there… Expressions of love are not to be taken lightly. Any chump can wax lyrical about coffee, stir a risotto, and bandy about a pi symbol like they know how to quote it to 15 places…

I have read 3 posts.
This one (hilarious, I would NEVER have thought of that…) one about my one true love – coffee – and then my current obsession Risotto.

And then you have the pi symbol.

I am in love.

Thats cool… I tried scrambled eggs and they were fabulus… Instead of frying them into butter oil I made them into Patan pure ghee and the taste was delicious….

that is such a good idea.. I’m sure the eggs will be much more fluffier.
the cleaning of the wand must sure worth the effort!
