A Verge writer recounts discovering a vanilla cream-topped iced Americano at a Koreatown coffee shop in Los Angeles during a February trip. The drink left a lasting impression, prompting a desire to recreate it after returning to Oakland. The writer, who had drunk coffee black for over two decades, explains that his habit was partly rooted in not wanting to spoil milk when reheating coffee. The article presents a milk frother as the best gadget he bought this year, since it made making such drinks at home possible. The full story is available on The Verge.
