Re: Chinese Words become Box
If you're getting super/fully automatic, there is no need to practise.
If you're getting a semi-automatic as in the Baby Twin, it's considered an entry level machine. The only thing you need to practise is frothing milk with the wand. The Baby Twin claims to have two boilers (actually they're not boilers in the sense of a cylindrical water tank, but thermo block where small amount of water is "pulsed" through a narrow passage wrapped around by a heating element - either aluminum or brass).
The problem with thermo block mechanism is it's hard to control the water temperature. If you have been using instant water heater for showers, you know what I mean. Sometimes the water is hot, sometimes it's not. The temperature is not consistent. And if you're steaming milk, you need to bring up the temperature of the water really fast, and consistency of temperature throughout is important.
Would like to get one to practise at home, then in office. Pai Say if everyone vomit after drinking my kopi. Is the twin baby a good one for beginner like me who only know how to drink only.
