is this good for latte art?

I would say you could do some art with this. However, you should probably get some other tools. I am no expert at latte art, but i have made some pretty awesome hearts before with just a spoon. If latte art is at the heart of your drink, i would suggest a bigger froth cup and some dedicated tools that will help.

I'm not good enouth to do it, but I think you'll need to to some modifications on it. Where the milk flows could be a little more narrow.

Absolutely! I love this and it pulls great espresso shots. I have milk pods and coffee pods as well as chai. I was spending at least 180 a month at Starbucks this saves me a ton. I make at home probably 5 days a week, go to Starbucks the other ones. I ordered the syrup too, I drink soy w mine but my daughter uses milk pods. I'm very happy with Verisimo, mine doesn't leak or have any issues. Unlike kerig ( only coffee) I can have cafe quality espresso in minutes

I think it would work for that. I use mine for dusting powdered sugar on french toast, etc.

Hi. It can be functional for a snack bar. However, if you have customers that are 'espresso'lovers or 'hard core' latte drinkers, I would recommend an industrial/commercial machine instead. I hope this answers your question.

The Poemia has a steam wand for making various espresso drinks. With some practice and high quality ingredients it will make drinks that most of us are more than happy with. That said, the ability to make a high quality cappuccino of the caliber you may be seeking may be beyond the capacity of this machine. Philips Saeco makes several other higher end machines that produce better product more reliably but they come at a premium. I am really not sure you will find a better product in this price range though. I have used the Poemia everyday since purchase and it has created tasty espresso reliably. I don't froth much as I drink mostly straight espresso or Americanos. Best of luck.

We bought this machine a month ago and ive use it as a liner and a shader it works good and its strong i would recommend it if you are using it as a practice machine but not like portraits just simple clean lines.....

No, it's a frappuccino machine, not an espresso machine. You can use espresso grounds and blend it without using ice I guess, but that won't make a quality hot latte. It makes really good cold drinks.

I returned it when I realized it didn't make as good a cup as my cheaper Melitta espresso maker. But I'm sure you can run a de-scaling solution through it to clean it.

I am sorry I am not a coffee drinker so I have not tried it but according to Cuisinart's instruction booklet it is perfect for frothing milk for lattes.

Sure can. It's also way more than you'll ever need. Unfortunately, no matter how well you take care of it, the Barista Express doesn't last.

Yes I think it would make your Chai Tea Latte. The machine heats up the beverage as it spins it or you can set it for cold spin also. It's a wonderful little gadget and I don't think you would regret the investment...Best of Luck....Teresa

after your question, I went and tried to see if I can make art with it. it makes really thick foam if you know what you are doing. Yea it makes art I made a smiling face it came out ok for someone who is not artistic.

Not exactly sure what you mean by Latte art, but there are two attachements for varying amounts of froth. I like a lot of froth, so I make a lot and it is thck enough to scoop into my coffee making a mound. Hope that helps.

It's pretty small compared to what a barista would use. It's 3.75" tall. Just enough to steam milk for a small latte. I can't go up to the fill line with anything thinner than whole milk, though, because when properly aerated, the foam will spill over the sides by the time it gets to 160 degrees F. I go to the line below the top line.

Yes! It's one of my favorite parts about this machine. It takes a few seconds for the pump to get the steam going but it froths & heats milk well. You can even practice latte art :)

Only if you have infinite patience. I've taken to using mine as an art prop for my paintings. When I want coffee, I don't want to wait for the vernal equinox. I use an electric spice grinder by hamilton beach. Good luck
