grinding coffee

[Mel66]

Hi All,
Can anyone please tell me how to make cappuccino in the TMX? from grinding the coffee beans, to frothing the milk.
(if they can also tell me how to get rid of hot flushes I would be eternally grateful)

Mel, making coffee is on page 32 of the EDC if you are in Aussie land. There is s thread on here somewhere about frothing the milk ... will see if I can hunt it down otherwise JD might beat me to it ( you legend JD!). We grind our coffee on speed 9 for about  1 minute but that is to use in our coffee machine (can't bring ourselves to get rid of it as the TMX is always in use when we want a coffee!) so you would probably need to adjust your times as I think you wouldn't want it so fine for the TMX coffee. Others may have some more useful tips for you.

Thanks faffa. I've been buying pre ground coffee.

Hot flushes are a #$$%@*&. They seem to hang around for years after everything else. I _think I could have said goodbye to them.

Oh poor Mel. I had my first hot flush at age 46 and I am still having them at 67. What I wouldn't do is go on hormone replacement therapy .  I developed a breast cancer that loved oestrogen. Fortunately it was diagnoised early. I  had a lumpectomy followed by radiation therapy so now 13 years later I am a survivor as are many on this forum.

Keep moist wash cloths in the fridge is one little tip. I am sure you will gt a lot more tips here which have nothing to do with coffee

Frothy Milk here. Also on p31/32 of EDC. I'm not a coffee drinker, so I have tried the Hot Chocolate and that was

Gretchen you have made me feel so much better. I was 46 and now am 61 so here's hoping they are a thing of the past. They're certainly reduced. I started taking HRT, but when the first scare came round some years ago DD informed me that the best thing I could do was not take it. I think I only took it for a few months.

Well there are quite a few of us on this forum who have been through  it all and many just starting. This is a good place to keep a cool head so to speak.

Mel66 I suggest you buy yourself a coffee maker. My second best investement is a Delongi which was even more expensive than the thermomix but believe me I deserved it. Nothing like a real cup of decent coffee. Somewhere here there is a thread about how to make coffee in the TMX. Maybe JD can find it.
