I have a very good coffee and espresso machine. Since the most complicated thing I know how to make with it is a cappuccino (which tastes very good), I was wondering if anyone knew how to make more complicated drinks that you might find at coffee houses. I assume they really aren't that hard to make, its just that I can't seem to get the proportions right...
Say, a mocha, iced coffee drinks, and any other recipe you might know. Thanks!

I need a machine that can make an awesome cappuccino. I don't care much for espresso in itself, just cappuccino, cafe latte and the like. I was considering the Rancilio Silvia or maybe the Francis Francis. Any advice would be helpful at this point.

I am looking for a single espresso machine to make cappuccino. Which is the best one? I am thinking I do not want to use the pods? Also which is the best value?

OK, so my budget allows for .25 per week to be spent on food. I must eat healthy and balanced meals or I will feel very bad as my body is just sensitive that way. I need a cappuccino each day (have my own machine and only need milk or half/half (cream/milk)) -- it might cost 0.25 per cappuccino. I have a waffle maker but I dont like eating a ton of syrup: I like sauteed fruit instead as waffle topping. I will shop in Starkville Mississippi at Kroger, Walmart, and (dont laugh) Piggly Wiggly.

Thanks for any ideas on how to make this happen ))))
A typical lunch for me would be a whole chicken breast, mashed potatoes, turnip greens, and black-eyed peas. Add some gravy and corn bread along with a cold drink
Dinner is about the same. Breakfast I'm flexable on because I dont pig out then. I will be working out a lot and need protein and calcium in my diet along with a complex of beans.

I thinnk anything younger then a highschooler or at least a middle schooler is too young to drink coffee or a cappuccino. What do you think?

I bought a used Gaggia Careeza espresso machine. The measuring spoon is missing. How much coffee do I put in to make a single shot of espresso? What is the milk to espresso ratio for latte or cappuccino?

Thanks!

I am looking for a coffee/espresso machine for my in-laws for Christmas. I know NOTHING about espresso machines, so I am thoroughly confused when I see "pump" and "automatic." They have never owned an espresso machine, but they are avid coffee drinkers (this machine will replace their old coffee maker, which is acting up). What kind of combination machine would be best for a beginner? I would like to keep the cost under 0 also. I keep coming across "DeLonghi's BCO264B Cafe Nero Combo Coffee, Cappuccino and Espresso Maker." Does anyone know anything about this particular one? I am finding that the reviews online are positive and negative. Any information and suggestions will help, as you can tell I have no idea what I'm looking for. Thank you!

The frothing arm on my DeLonghi EC 155 is so short I have to fill my frothing pitcher up somewhat fully so it will reach the milk. As the milk starts expanding it always overflows the pitcher and makes a big mess any advice?

Because the frothing arm is low on the machine, the pitcher cannot be any taller than about 3 1/2".

If anyone has this machine advice would help! I'm new to this! How much do you need to actually froth the milk for proper cappuccino??

I've just bought an espresoo machine for my room (it can't go in the kitchen), which I'd like to use to make a cappuccino each morning. However obviously to make a cappuccino I need fresh milk, but I have no way of keeping it in my room. My friend suggested a mini fridge, but i've read they can be really noisy, and so would it be disruptive when I'm trying to sleep?! Does anyone have any other ideas?

All i need is something that'll make me a nice cappuccino every morning which is around the £40 or less price margin. I've had a good look on loads of websites, and the best I've found is the "Morphy Richards 47008 Filter Coffee Maker with Frother". However this is designed to make a large pot of filter coffee, but I just want a small amount of coffe to put in a flask with the frothed milk!
I'm a complete beginner coffee machines and have no idea about what the best product would be, so can someone please help me?!
