First drink made with the new Creatista Pro.
Used two Illy Forte capsules and semi-skimmed milk. Produced a lovely hot and textured milk, just the way I like it!
I took a video, but it’s too large to attach here (I wanted to show the temperature of the milk), so here’s a link to the YouTube I uploaded.
After our old Creatista died a month or so back, we decided to give bean-to-cup a go and bought a Gaggia with a milk frother attachment.
The coffee was nice, but the milk component was awful - just would not produce milk of any sort of acceptable texture. After looking around, this seems a common theme with these sorts of machines (unless you pay stupid money), so we’ve gone back to Nespresso and bout a Creatista Pro.
Looking forward to seeing how it goes in the morning.
Does anyone have any good tips for keeping v-bars secure to the riser? It seems as though any fairly innocuous nudge in the lefty-loosey direction causes mayhem in a flappy mess of embarrassment…
I spent a fair amount on this Acxel v bar, put it on the bow and then wanted to adjust the left-right angle of the back bars.
I’ve now found that both sides are completely seized up. I can adjust the up/down but not the side to side, even after taking all of the bolts fully out.
Has anyone else experienced this? I can’t see any other locking nuts I’ve missed. Obviously I’ll be sending this back to the retailer for a refund if there’s no easy way to adjust the bars.
I’m not sure how I fell down the rabbit hole of buying V Bars! The fixed W&W one was something I had from my old recurve days, but with the compound, I felt I needed to move things around more to get a more stable balance.
I have the Axcel on my bow at the moment and the sight pin is pretty damned steady (Shibuya Vanquish Pro bars and a fair bit of weight). The Axcel has a weird double lock system that I’m not sure is entirely needed (almost seems like a solution for a problem that shouldn’t exist). The Ramrods bar is gorgeously stealth bomber in its angles and looks amazing. I’m awaiting the front-facing QD bolt that matches before playing with it.
The Avalon. I’m sure it’s nice, but it feels a bit out of its league here.
