Subject: Ceramic vs. paper (latte), why such a difference?

I just drank a very delicious 5 or 6 oz latte made with a shot of DSB.
For some reason this seems to be the best ratio of espresso to milk. I
even made it with the very first shot of the day made with the La
zocco, no grinder adjustments, etc.
I just can't figure out why I can't reproduce this drink in a paper
cup. I can't even make the same drink with a bigger flat-bottom cup,
only with the small rounded latte/cappuccino cup.

I love my latte in my special glass in the trailer. It's a small (5
or 6oz) glass, with a good double in. As with you, the first shot
(which is usually not the best as it's my seasoning shot that I keep
if it looks OK). I think it's because I let it run anyway, and prefer
the slightly bitter result.

I make mine with 3 oz espresso and 6 oz of 2% milk. It fills a 15 oz
bowl way over the rim if poured slowly. The crema mixes with the
micro-foam around the top of the bowl and seems to accentuate the
chocolate flavor. I rotate the bowl a little with every sip to make
sure I get some of that delicacy and it lasts to the very last drop.
When there is only foam left, I lick it with a finger - impolite but
soooo gooood... A pre-warmed nice quality white ceramic bowl is
mandatory. In my mind, it would be a sin to even try to do this in a
paper cup.
