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.

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.

So I bought it, But ok i love normal coffee but I dont like espresso, because I dont really like espresso and I have alot more then I need now, what kind of easy to make drinks can I make with it? I have a blender but that’s it. No coffee machine or anything.

Thank you if you can help me

It’s been 2 years since i have used my old espresso machine and i would just like to ask what type of coffee to use. Is any type of bean ok as long as its ground really fine, or was it coarse? i forgot… I am currently using Movenpick Espresso coffe…

also is it ok to use regular ground coffee in an espresso machine… thanks..

My dog just grabbed about 4 licks of my coffee before I caught him. I found online that caffeine is toxic at about 63 mg per pound of body weight. I drink espresso (made in coffee machine so not as strong) diluted with milk. So it has about 126 mg in the whole cup. So if my dog weighs 21lb he can have more than 1200mg before it would kill him. How much will make him sick? If he ever drinks a whole cup in the future should I call the vet? Or would it need like a whole pot before I call the vet?
Wow Sue B. - if my dog had drank alot of coffee he’d be a the vet. He’s 100% fine- he had like 4 licks- which is probably about 1/30 the cup. If there’s 126mg in the cup then he got about 4mg of caffeine. He would need more than 1200mg for it to be fatal. Thanks for caring though…
