Latte, Cappucino,Expresso...HELP.
Dunkin Donuts ^ | 12-26-04 | me

Posted on 12/26/2004 11:34:22 AM PST by benice

Total vanity post. I apologize now...so hold your sarcasm...thanks.

I had my first Latte ever friday and my second today and I am hooked. Since I can't afford to do that tooo often....I thought I'd ask the professional coffee drinkers in here if they can explain the difference of all the different kinds of coffees out there and if there is a machine I can buy to make my own lattes? Would it be an expensive adventure? What else would I need to buy? What's your favorite combination of flavors...etc....

Any advice?

Aw, yeah! Another latte addict.

There are many machines to buy. Good ones will set you back three bills. I know mine did, and it is not nearly the best one.

Try a basic espresso machine and go from there. Can't have a latte without espresso.

I have a fairly expensive espresso machine and I have an espresso maker from Italy that is just a basic flip over tin pot. The basic model is my favorite. I'll look for a photo.

You can find one of these for about ten dollars. A great way to start and it's fun.

Yea, Benice is a troll. Pushing something as anti-American as coffee is the tip off.

Stop drinking latte and stick to regular coffee.
