I'm looking for a non commercial grade coffee and espresso machine. One that can make different types of coffee drinks such as cappuccinos, macchiato, latte, and mocha?

Does anyone sell these online and what brands are good?

Thanks

Im planning on bringing my friends starbucks on the first day of school as a surprise so.need a estimate of.how.much it will.cost. So how much does a tall vanilla bean latte w/out coffee in it cost? How much does a tall white chocolate mocha cost? How much does a grande iced chai tea cost? And how much does a tall carmel apple spice cost?

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 quit coffee about 7 months ago and i am still fighting strong cravings for the taste. some days i just want to drink it for the sheer novelty of DOING it simply because its been so long! i was into it hardcore for two years, i only had two 12 oz cups a day and sometimes i would make a latte or a cappa. i roasted my own and got VERY good at that aspect of it to the point that i would say i was an expert master roaster of sorts...ok, just in my general area, i was the best fresh bean connoisseur in town exerpt for one small cafe. i would order green coffee off the net from almost everywhere and stick it in an old (70s) popcorn popper called the WestBend Poppery I, which was controlled by hand with a variac for the heating element and one for the fan pressure. i would monitor the temperature of the bean mass and make changes according to spikes in heat cause by first and second "crack"-the beans will pop like popcorn twice during a dark roast or just once for a light roast-and then i would let them "rest" for a few days in an air tight jar, after that i would grind every bean fresh just seconds before brewing. i even made my own two boiler espresso machine and used a very high quality hand grinder to get an extremely fine yet consistent grind and tamp it into the "porta-filter" of the espresso machine with the same pressure every time. and everything else technical and scientific to do with the entire process of making the finest coffee i could. and i mean really good coffee, ambrosia! especially shots, they were general very smooth and much less bitter than anywhere else i could find the stuff-sometimes quite sweet. and i didn't even have very good machines and i was able to "pull" that kind of shot!

you get the picture. i was into coffee for every other reason than for the caffeine.... i REALLY wish i had only been into it for the "buzz". but the fact is coffee actually made me have less energy, but it was way worth it for the pleasure of taste. so now im faced with what looks like a life of suffering lol cuz i cant stop wanting coffee!!

i broke today and had a cup of 'nasty' coffee at work from the vender. i would have never even thought of drinking that swill 7 months ago, but after so long i have sort of forgotten the taste of the "super coffee" i use to make, i think mentally i have tried to push out that sensory memory as i have been trying really hard not to drink it again. i was hoping to be free of a lot longer than 7 months, and one would think that's not too hard. but im just really weak when it comes to "harmless pleasures". but at the same time i really don't like the idea of being tied to something anymore, i want to be able to go though life ready for whatever happens without having to say "oh my god, where am i going to find a good cup of of coffee in this town?!!"
yea, i quit for health reasons, and by the way, the health benefits are far outweighed by the toxifying effect this highly acidic beverage has on the body. coffee has a ph of 4! thats only slightly better than soda. a normal blood ph is about 7.3. but yes, i think im willing to possibly drink it once or twice a week. but its also a moral issue. i would respect myself a little less for not having the self control to avoid something this small and menial, what am i if i cant even control a simple craving?! im very weak thats what. hard on myself?? maybe. but i dont know. another major thing is that drinking coffee is a direct contradiction to my resent drastic change in diet. i am 90% vegan and about 30% raw.(also for health reasons only, not for animal rights) so this means that the majority of what i eat is whole, fresh, living, organic, alkalizing, detoxifying food. long list hu? and coffee is the opposite of all this. not that it would make my efforts to eat cleaner that much less va

Hi, I bought a nice espresso machine which was around 0 (early X-mas present). Anyways, while it is on its plane ride to my house, i'm buying my accessories. I have espresso cups (2oz) cappacino cups (6 oz) and latte cups (8oz). I have a milk pitcher, thermometer, and espresso shot cups. So I think I have all the proper equipment to make an awesome coffee. I have only one problem tho , the espresso beans. I don't have enough money to buy a nice coffee grinder. I don't like to cut corners on cheap stuff, so I'll wait to have at least enough money to buy a nice grinder. My question is, should I buy pods to use for my espresso, or ground espresso beans at a coffee shop and use the ground beans for a couple weeks. I know that it is best to grind the beans just before your about to make the espresso, but that isn't an option at the moment.Thanks!

And if they are different how do you make the caramel brulee latte? Is there a way to make them without an espresso machine?

I recently bought one of the starbucks cold product in sainsburys (a grocery store for american answers) which was seattle latte.

since is the first iced coffee drink ive ever liked from starbucks range, i wondered if you can also get this drink in their coffee shops? or is it just in the supermarket range?

ok so ive been obsessed with coffee since i was about 7. im 17 and about 6yrs ago my cousin made the MOST AMAZING tasting latte, and it was a krups machine. i dont know what model or anything but i wanted the Krups XP1500 Coffee & Espresso Combination Machine since its only 0 and I really dont wanna spend more than 0-0ish since i am ONLY 17 but i read bad reviews how it breaks down so im not getting it is there any GOOD yet cheap espresso machine?

i might buy DeLonghi EC155 Espresso Maker...is it good? any other suggestions?

ok so i have a cappucino machine and i cant remember the last time i used it (its been AT LEAST 2 WEEKS), but whenever i last used it, i accidently left the ground (wet) espresso in it... so today i thought i would treat myself to a nice hot latte and i found this strange fungus growing ontop of the old ground coffee, it looked a little bit like the activated yeast you find at the grocery. but it had this strange white fuz on top that resembled a spider nest.

does anyone know what this could possibly be?

btw i did clean it up (outside) and soaked all the parts in bleach, and disinfected my machine.

What flavor lattes do they have at Starbucks? Also which flavors taste the best. I've had a latte before at Starbucks but never a flavored one and wanted to try one.
