Meet the Egg Lady. She’s as disturbing as the Log Lady, and nowhere near as heart-warming as the Coffee Lady.

Watch this video all the way through to the purge, if you dare.

Sprudge.com would like to put a stop to creative cuisine with espresso machines. This includes: Warming your croissant on the top of the machine. Hard boiling an egg with the hot water spout. Pulling shots of bouillon cubes. Cheese products in the drain tube (dump that milk pitcher in the sink, please). An exception to the rule: making a custom built a grill out of a Linea.

      I’ve heard of cooking sous vide in the open boiler of a La Peppina kettle… but, like you, I just can’t bring myself to try it. That’s what the crock pot is for.

      We ruined one of our steam wands on it I think. Prefer a pan anyway.

      Oh, you got bored and figured out you can use steam to cook an egg! Great! YOU’RE FIRED!

      I’ve seen shops advert this. “Barista Eggs” they call ‘em. Uhhh… Or just eggs with a lot of extra water now and a machine that smells like a diaper.
