Honey asked:


I want to get my husband a coffee maker for Christmas and I keep seeing ones that also have an attached espresso maker. I have no clue what espresso is exactly, but I think he would enjoy it. Could someone please explain to me what Espresso is and how it’s made and how you are supposed to drink it. Also, if you know what brand is the best. Thank you

I have a plain ol’ Mr. Coffee espresso/cappuccino maker that I keep around because I like the milk frother on it.

However I don’t like coffee or espresso, so that part hasn’t even been used!

Do you think I could just turn it on to use to make hot water for steeping tea, hot cocoa, etc. etc?

meggiet asked:


I bought an inexpensive espresso/cappucino maker and every time I make coffee, it smells and tastes burnt. I went exactly by the directions, and used two different kinds of roast (espresso and a medium roast). Is it the coffee beans, the machine or am I doing something wrong? Every cappucino I have ever had never tastes burnt and I really cannot drink what this espresso/cappucino maker has been making.
