Good enough for James Bond

James Bond's espresso maker of choice is the same as mine—the La Pavoni Europiccola. In a scene from Live and Let Die he makes a latté (sort of) for M—who's not impressed.

Unfortunately, his method is completely wrong. To make a latté (or cappuccino) you wouldn't add milk to the espresso and then use the steam wand to froth it. You would froth the milk in a separate container then pour it into the espresso. Also, he has just entered the kitchen to make the coffee and the espresso machine is already up to temperature—you can hear the steam escaping from the pressure release valve. That takes about 5 minutes to get to temperature. But, that's movie making—all that would have taken far too long.

I love M's comment at the end: "Is that all it does?"
