Espresso Milk

Espresso Milk
Frothing milk for espresso?

We just got an espresso machine, but it didn't come with one of those little metal cups to froth the milk in. The instructions say it's best if you get one, but we can't find one. Can I just use a normal cup or mug or something?

it's ok to use a mug but use one a size bigger than your serving requirement, or at least a size that will allow you to keep the milk in while giving you enough froth to skim off. at the start, i actually used a big measuring cup: transparent, with handle, could hold hot and cold (it will get hot as you steam).

this might help, too: http://www.coffeegeek.com/guides/frothingguide

enjoy!
