He who froths up the most foam = the bigger man
This cappuccino is alright. There's foam at the top. Notice how I sprinkled some cinnamon on top? That's the finishing touch, right there!
I remember back in the old days (1995-1998), back when Brian McGovern roamed these offices (well, not these offices, but the office of the day, which was at my house). We both loved cappuccino. I think he was the one who mentioned the perfect name for a Christian coffee house -- He Brews.
Anyway, we both used to crave the perfect cup of cap, and we'd feel so much better about ourselves (well, speaking for myself, I know I did...) if we frothed up a monster amount of foam for the cappuccino's we were making. With our little home unit it wasn't always as easy as those baristas at the local coffee shop make it seem. They have unlimited access to steam, whereas we only had the amount of water past the brewed espresso level with which to make that milk bubble and turn to foam.
:?)
