i like chai lattes but i dont know how. can someone tell me howvyo make it?
thx

I'm going away to college and while I'm not a big coffee drinker I LOVE lattes and the like. I'm trying to decide between 3 different machines.

The Nespresso Delonghi Lattissima

The Breville Brewing System

The Nespresso Citiz Machine

I like the variety of the K-cups that the Breville offers the best, as I'm sure with over 200 different flavors for different drinks, including iced drinks, I can find something I like but if I do get that machine I'd also have to get a milk frother... Whereas the Lattissima has a frother included and the Citiz comes with one.

I guess it just comes down to what would be the best choice? I think for simpleness in mind the Lattissima would be best but as far as variety the Breville would win hands down...

On another note: The Breville supposedly has quiet-brew technology, which I'm sure my roommate would love me for whereas the Nespresso machines sound like a tractor is rolling through the room...

I want to buy an espresso machine to make my own lattes and cappuccinos, but I don't know much about them. Are there certain features that a good espresso machine should have? Any reccomendations? I want a decent one, but probably don't want to spend over 0. Thanks!

what is foam and what is whip anyway?
can someone also tell me the difference between frappucino and lattes?
what is also the least fattening drink in starbucks?

I love Mocha Lattes and Java Chip Fraps...but want to try something different. Not too sweet though. Any ideas?

I want to have a way to make lattes at home... But don't want to buy a machine and deal with having it break or pay an arm and a leg.

What will I need to do this, is it possible?

I want something like a french press but for espresso... And then I was going to buy a milk frother, is that going to allow me to make good lattes at home?

Thanks!
I was under the assumption that a milk frother warmed the milk as well as making foam? But it sounds like it only makes foam? So I would have to make the espresso on the stove, then warm the milk in a pot, then froth the milk?

I found an electric Mr. Coffee espresso maker for on Amazon, it got mostly good ratings but plenty of bad ones. Walmart is selling it for , I might buy it there so I can return it incase I don't like it or it breaks within the first few months like many reviews claim.

Thanks for the asnwers!

I am looking to buy an espresso/latte machine to use at home. I am new to this and have never made my own real lattes with frothed milk before. I am looking to pay around or less, and would like one that I don't have to buy special pods if I don't want to. (can be used without pods....or if it does use pods, has the option to use without any pods).
I do live in a big city with plenty of mainstream stores, but wouldn't mind ordering online either for the right price.

Today I'm having black coffee, it tastes terrible but I'm exhausted so I need it. It's starting to make me feel a little sick.

But flavored coffees, like Dunkin Donuts vanilla chai lattes are amazing. And Starbucks caramel macchiatos, mmm.

I'm a college kid so I'm not looking for a crazy machine. I just want something I can make decent espresso and lattes with in my apartment. I've used both machines but I hear both of them have tendencies to break in a few cases and the Delonghi has half a star more than the Cuisinart on Amazon...

We have a new "Capresso" brand espresso/cappuccino maker that we got for Christmas. It has worked very well, and is still working well except that the pressurized chamber seems not to be sealing perfectly any more. After the water heats up to full pressure, and especially during the process of steaming the milk, bubbles are forming around the top seal (where I screwed the top back on after adding water). I suspect this is because the rubber gasket that fits up inside the boiler cap has gotten out of alignment (it's actually not rubber but a translucent rubbery plastic material). At some point in the last few days the gasket came out, and I wasn't sure how to reinstall it. There are two knobs or bumps on the gasket, that look as if they are meant to line up with 2 holes in the metal part of the boiler cap itself. Right now I have the gasket installed in the cap so that those knobs are "upside down" -- i.e. they face downwards when the cap is installed on the machine. Should I take the gasket back out and reposition it so they engage with the holes? Will this fix my steam-leakage problem? Right now I am still able to make good lattes and cappuccinos, but I am afraid if I don't address this seal problem I may begin to lose a lot of pressure.
