If you're just using your espresso machine to make coffee, you might be missing out. Social media is packed with suggestions for crafty hacks and alternative ways to use its steam wand, from the practical to the bizarre, so I put five of them to the test to find out how well they actually work.
Some ideas suggested online are clearly non-starters (like somehow using an espresso machine to steam wallpaper), while others just sound a bit gross. I'm sure you can make gravy with it, as suggested by a posted on Reddit, but the thought of failing to clean it thoroughly enough and making a slightly meaty-tasting latte turns my stomach. I decided to try five options that sounded both feasible and useful, and rated each one out of 10 based on its effectiveness.
