I bought an espresso machine, and i can’t tell the difference between this and a regular coffee machine, it does the same thing doesn’t it? i know it has a milk frothing arm on it, but is that the only difference?
i didn’t get ripped off, it was only 19.99

I have a Moulinex coffee maker and espresso machine. It is wrote on the appliance that its power is 1900w. Does it really use so much energy even when it’s only holding the coffee hot? Is it ok to let the appliance be on for hours, so that coffee is hot and ready whenever you want?

I own a Krups machine that is both a coffee maker and an espresso machine. It is finally starting to ‘kick the bucket’ and I was wondering if anyone had any good ideas on a replacement model. While I was OK with the Krups one, the espresso side of it wasn’t all that hot, literally. I’m not looking to spend more than $200 on both things. Do you know of a good coffee/espresso machine, or should I get seperate ones? If so, are there any brands or types recommended within that price range? Thank you!

Mr. Bob asked:


I got an espresso machine for Christmas(woo!) and have drank way too many shots over the course of the past few days trying to refine my espresso making skills … unfortunately, I think they got worse!

I have the “Espressione 1329 Café Roma” (I will link to it at the bottom). My problem is this … if it even is a problem … I grid the coffee beans, put them in the coffee-ground-holder-thing and tamp it down. I press the espresso button and wait as the water is filtered through and produces espresso. Yay!. issue is, the coffee grounds in the filter thing are heavily watery and I am pretty sure they should not be so …

A) Is this a bad thing?
B) What does the watery status of the coffee grounds do to the quality of the shots?

Thanks!

I need to either buy or rent a small commercial espresso machine, I have been looking around but it’s sooo confusing out there when it comes to coffee!!!
I have a meeting next week with a pod style coffee machine Representative, but i have heard these machines are not ideal? I want to be up and running in a month from now and really just want names of good espresso machines to go with.
Yay! finally some great advice! I was beginning to loose hope! Thanks so much guys.

Easymac79 asked:


I do not have very much money to spend on this at all, i have 60 dollars to spend on a coffee grinder, espresso machine, and the actual espresso grounds/ coffee beans. my dad travels a lot and can pick up plenty of hotel coffee that can be a permanent source of free coffee. I have gotten sick of standard drip crap and want to make espresso. buying the beans or pre-ground espresso wont work because i am looking for free to 10 dollars a month for 4 glasses of espresso per day.
I was thinking about it, and when you grind a coffee bean, it goes from whole to coarse to medium to fine. well, if i just cut out the whole and coarse parts, and put the medium into the grinder and run it til it is fine, shouldnt that work?
The logic to this is flawless, but i dont know if it requires starting as a bean in order to achieve the ability to be ground, maybe if it starts smaller, there isnt enough friction to get them moving and by the time it does, the grounds are ruined by the heat. I have scoured the internet and found nothing do i just hope that someone on here happens to know this and can write a quick answer. if you want to save time, 555 means this will work no problem, 777 means this wont work at all, any other answer pretty much needs words.

Thank you very much in advance.
does that mean it should work? I use howstuffworks.com all the time. I have read well over 1,000 pages of content including at least 30 on coffee and didnt come accross that. Thank you. Still need some more answers just to be sure before i invest all my money. thank you.
