Amount of water for espresso’s. Look it up and you will probably find that an espresso should be around 1 fl oz (30ml). This is true most of the time. It is not this easy though. The amount of water that the espresso coffee machine pushes through the ground coffee is very, very important. There is only a certain amount of water to push through coffee and too much water will result in very bitter coffee. Use shot glasses that have a line at 1 fl oz (30ml).

You are...

https://coffeeinfo.wordpress.com/freezing-coffee
The most important thing to think about here is that there are a lot of variables and it’s quite difficult to control all of them. The judging of the coffees is also something to consider here, how good is the taster actually? All in all, it is difficult to judge this. The amount of days after roasting from when it has been freezed is considered quite important. The quality of the freezer and the packaging for the freezer are also important.

Does all milk foam? | Coffee Info
https://coffeeinfo.wordpress.com/does-all-milk-foam
Does all milk foam? You will get the most amount of foam from fully skimmed milk, this is because of the low fat percentage (the fat works against the protein). However, you will not get such a rich foam from fully skimmed milk as from whole milk. If your foaming technique is right than you should not really have any problem with any type of milk, as long as the milk is fresh and cold.
