My burning love for espressos and cappucinos has been rekindled. Problem is, I dont have an espresso machine and I know that there are literally millions of machines to pick from. Before anyone replies with a link to google, I'm already doing that, I'd just like to see if anyone here has a reputable machine that they'd reccommend. I just need an espresso machine, but I've seen espresso/cappucino machines which seem pretty cool. Anyways.... Once again, thanks for any help. (I'll slit your throat if you hijack my thread, assholes)
I have a bomb! And if you don't fly thees thread where I weesh, I weell blow eet up!!! My more exotic caffeine fixes tend to come from outside the house, so I can't really help you here, but maybe more will read this thread if there's a reply to it...
I like my coffee like i like my mother-in-laws - big black and bitter. Or is like my women - ground up and in the freezer? Ack, I regress. Anyways - I've been doing a lot of appliance research lately. Best two sources I've found are epinions and amazon, for the reviews and stuff. You can find most glaring issues with products, and get a good idea of what your getting. Kicks the shit out of google for the past few days as far as I'm concerned. I just bought a coffee pot w/ the sole criteria that it be aluminum, so when I chuck it at my roommate, it won't shatter.
As a Starbucks Barista, i'd advise you to get this one. Thats a pretty good deal,too. This machine, when used properly, will give u the sweetest shot and with practice, the BEST foam for cappuccino's. (i've been complimented too many times to count on how good my foam is. i even got a hot ladies number, no lie) My store had one like that (except w/ digital timers to time the shots) up until about 8 months ago when we switched to automatic ones which in my opinon are poop crap. thats my 2 cents! ^this one has the timers. 18-23 seconds is the starbucks standard for a shot to pour. the first 3 portafilters pull 2 shots, the last pulls 3. the 2 knobs on each end are the steam wands. i'd shit on the popes head in a hearbeat for one of these machines. i miss my ol' Bessie Lou.
I just use a Krupps from wallyworld. 79 bux.....but I usually don't have the time or energy to use it so I just make myself a strong, strong pot of Uban and grab the first cup that pours into the pot.......oooooeeeeeeee!!! That'll put hair on yer ass.
I would not have servived college, nor my current job without my mug of coffee every morning. 6 am should not exist.
