For those who like more of a coffee flavor I would recommend reducing the amount of milk by half. I didn't follow the directions and instead kept the liquid in a metal bowl and every hour or so I'd scrape my fork across the ice to create the large granita flakes. Didn't see the point in dirtying ice cube trays and a blender. Check out my blog at: http://imapretendchef.blogspot.com/2011/03/cafe-au-lait-granita.html
