When you start using a new espresso machine, do you break a glass of wine or cup of coffee over it?

Do you need an espresso machine to make espresso coffee or can I use a regular coffee machine?

I want to make this recipe [http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Abbeys-White-Chocolate-Latte/Detail.aspx], but I don’t own an espresso machine. If I absolutely need one, do you think I could just substitute the espresso with regular coffee instead..or would that ruin the latte?

Can anyone recommend a solid espresso/coffee maker?

I own a Westbend combination espresso/coffee maker which has been used almost daily for the last 3 years. (I know, I’m suprised too considering its hardly high end) Its worked very well but at this point the poor machine is just worn out, and I’m looking to get a new one.
I used to be a barista and I enjoy tamping my own espresso shots. My roommates like a good pot of regular coffee in the morning. Thus my ideal combination machine would have a drip coffee function, manual espresso function (not automatic), and a steaming nozzle. Things like automatic shut off are great too.
My problem is there doesn’t seem to be a great amount of decent combination machines out there. I’m seeing alot of Deloughi and Krups combination models and they’re all getting HORRIBLE user reviews (breaking after a few months, leaking water, etc). While I can’t spend $1000 on a professional model, I’d like the model I buy to not break on me after 2-3 months. And due to lack of electrical outlets and counter space, Its not an option to buy a separate espresso machine and separate coffee maker. Please no recommendations for stovetop espresso machines; they’re adorable but I don’t have that kind of time in the mornings.
Thanks!

This is a dumb question, but are espresso coffee beans the same as regular coffee beans?

March 12th, 2010How much coffee do you drink?
March 4th, 2010Busy Barbie 007 asked:
I’ve never been an avid coffee drinker, I’m more of an espresso 2-3x a week. However, I’m trying to cut costs, so I bought a coffee mate (espresso machines were too much) and started making coffee at home. I figure i’m saving at least $10/week. It’s pretty good, but now I find myself making coffee daily…

My question is- How much coffee do you drink? Is it needed to function?
