I was in Puerto Rico for work over 35 years ago. I really liked their coffee and I learned to use condensed milk for the cream and raw sugar just liked they did down there. I was also there when Pizza Hut test marketed their Hawaiian Pizza which I also like to this day, please no BBQ sauce.

My favorite coffee that Costco sells is the Kona blend that is usually only available around Christmas time. It usually doesn't last very long.

I purchase it through Amazon Link.

I have been trying different Lavazza whole bean coffee in my superautomatic. This Link one is my current favorite.

Below are pictures of my sous vide setup, I repurposed a canning pot. Inside is a 14.2# ham that I heated to 100 deg. F for 90 minutes and finished on the grill in a oven bag until the internal temp reached 100 deg. F. The ham always comes out juicy, never dry.

I store the unopened bags only in the freezer, once opened then I put the bag near my coffee machine which gets used up fairly quickly (within a couple weeks). I have a vacuum sealer (for my hops) but I didn't notice any loss of freshness to attempt to vacuum seal and re-freeze my coffee beans...

I recently went through a bag of Death's Door whole bean coffee in my Miele, I highly recommend this coffee. I purchased a 32oz bag from the Costco in Kenosha WI a while back but noticed that it is available for purchase in the 5# bag on the link above.

Home Depot has 10 gallon version of this if you need to go bigger.

Pre-heating the milk in a microwave for 40 seconds did the trick, much hotter cappuccion's in my Mukka Express.

With the cold milk in the top chamber brings down the temperature of the cappuccino. I could warm the milk up which should help. The frothing on the Mukka Express is automatic and occurs shortly after the espresso enters into the upper chamber unlike frothing on a manual espresso machine where...

I pulled out my Mukka Express today, it was a limited edition sold by Williams Sonoma. I makes a smooth cappuccino but not hot enough for my liking. I can also make latte's.

Thanks for sharing, I have the same waffle maker.

At least is has metal gears, old school KA.
