Review on Taylor Ng 30028 Bellman Stovetop by Ivan Gee

As an avid coffee drinker I really need a good latte every morning. At home it's easy with a cheap electric car (not perfect, but they work), but when camping or in the oil fields I need something portable that doesn't require electricity. Of course, there are conventional old-style faceted espresso machines, but the milk will be wrong if it is not steamed. Anyway I broke down and bought this and I love it! You pay a little more for a pressure gauge, but once you get the hang of it the results are great. There was an issue with the "reducer", the insert used in the coffee basket when making less coffee. It's poorly constructed, but not needed - simply measure out 1/4 cup of finely ground French roast coffee for each large latte, up to three double shot lattes. for a run. I use about 6 ounces of espresso for 12 ounces of frothed milk. You will need a small stainless steel jug to steam the milk and this seems to work best for use on a pocket rocket type camping stove, although you can of course use a regular stove by positioning it closer to the rim of the burner around the handle or not to burn the socket. The whole setup with camping stove, coffee and pot fits into a small cosmetic bag. I don't know how I used to live without it.
