Professional Espresso Machine

Where can I find a decent home espresso machine for under ? I started with a mr. coffe steam powered long ago. Then purchased my first pump machine that puts out way too much water in the steam. It’s a Smarter Home Espressolux piece of crap. Then I gloriously found a briel at a second hand store for 10 miraculous dollars, only there was something inside the pump that was making my mochas taste like *-*-. I tried to clean it to no avail, and had to dispose of it. Please help me. I’m down in the dumps. If you know of a location online, or if you have one you would like to sell me, leave your contact info. I LOVE/NEED DRY STEAM!!!

I am considering buying an espresso machine for my dorm room next year, yes my dorm room. My college’s coffee shop is disgusting. They use pre-ground Folgers for the espresso, among many other things. I’ve been a barista for two years and know the difference between a really good latte and one that tastes like mud, so quality is important to me.

What is a good, relatively inexpensive (less than 0) espresso machine with a steaming wand that I could buy?

My fiancee loves espresso and he and I had discussed getting an espresso machine before. He has since moved to VA (Navy) and no longer has the luxury of stopping at the Dunkin Donuts drive thru for his morning caffeine fix. So for Christmas this year I wanted to buy him:
- An espresso maker (with possibly a coffee maker built in)
- A coffee/espresso bean grinder
- two espresso cups, saucers
- a simple recipe book on how to make different coffee/espresso drinks
- some good espresso beans or maybe a sampler of beans

However, I am so unbelievable confused by all the variables involved with espresso. Pump versus steam? Ground beans versus pods? I have no idea what "tamping" is! Is there someone out there who is an espresso/coffee connoisseur that can help guide me?? I really need help as I want to give him quality items that also won’t totally break my budget. I don’t want to get the cheapy espresso makers from Walmart that will break in the first week. Let me know and perhaps we can talk via email in depth about all things espresso.

Thank you!
Thank you so far. He actually prefers to either drink the espresso straight or to add espresso shots to regular coffee. I don’t think he would like the coffee maker idea. I don’t have a problem spending more money on something that is good, I’m just not going to drop 00 on an Italian machine. Any recommended brands for pump espresso makers or burr grinders?

I’ve got a french press coffee maker, and I want to know if there’s anything to do to make my coffee taste better than it is. Like brewing time and other weird little techniques.

scoobysworkshop.com In this video were gonna talk about my number one favorite supplement, caffeine! Caffeine is a cheap and effective supplement for bodybuilders and endurance athletes alike. In this video we will talk about what kind of caffeine to take, how much to take, when to take it, caffeine tolerance, and also about what the research says. Caffeine comes in different forms and surprisingly, coffee is not the best way! Several studies have shown that the anhydrous caffeine in the pill form is more effective in improving perfomance than the caffeine in coffee. If you want to maximize your performance, you should use the pill form. Two added benefits of using caffeine pills, first its far cheaper. For the price of one fancy starbucks coffee you can buy a bottle with 100 doses of caffeine in it. The second benefit of using the caffeine in pill form is that you know your exact dosage. Speaking of dosage, lets talk about how much to use. Oddly enough, more is not better. Several studies have shown that there is no increase in strength or endurance if you consume more than the recommend amount of caffiene. This makes caffeine unlike many other supplements. So, how much should you take? The research shows there is no benefit to taking more than 6mg/KG before your sports activity, I would recommend half that or 3mg/kg – so for a 150lb person thats 200mg. Take your caffeine about an hour before your lifting session and take it at most once per day. If you dont want the …

On a trip to buy coffee beans & some cake for afternoon tea (to take home) I had a sudden decompression of the rear tyre in the Mango. It was easy to fix as the Mango’s wheel is attached on one side only. I carry all spares with me but I could have easily fixed this on the spot with nothing more than a puncture repair kit and a pump.

I am wondering if anybody knows how to warm up soy milk quickly not to use microwave. Pan is good, but I have to stir all the time not to burn. I used Nespresso Aeroccino and Milk Frother to warm it up, and it’s quick, but it didn’t come out hot enough.

If you know a good way to warm up soy milk not to be there all the time, please let me know. I don’t like using microwave, which loses nutrition.

Thank you for your help
