If you ever try a latte with raw cream or even raw milk, you won't want to use pastuerized milk again. Pastuerization basically means heating the milk until nothing harmful can live in it (assuming there is something harmful in it to begin with), but also means destroying the beneficial bacteria and nutrients.

Then they'll be forced to say "I'll have an ultra large Un-authentic coffee to go please." and slowly but surely they'll be embarrassed in to ordering the real thing, just so they can belong to the *in* group who orders *Authentic* coffee...muahh ahh ahhh. I have to admit all this talk about proper temps and being a coffee purist makes me wonder am I drinking coffee? Or coffee wanna-be? Seriously if you don't know a barista you trust or a neat little coffee shop that serves perfect coffee how would you know if you're drinking coffee the right way? I'm being serious here. If I'm missing out on something I want to try it the right way, the best way, the way that makes coffee taste the absolute yummiest it can be. We make coffee at home with a "Bialetti "Venus" Stove Top Espresso Maker". It's pretty tasty but am I missing something?
