coffee machine


Posted: Feb 20, 2011

Wondering if anyone can recommend a good (but affordable) one-touch cappucino and latte machine, one that uses coffee beans, not one that you have to use pods with.

Thanks for any help!

My local Italian deli (see message) - BizzyMT

[ In Reply To ..]
My local Italian deli sells the authentic stove-top cappy makers. It's SO cool. It has 3 components. In the one you put the water, in the other you put the ground espresso beans, and in the third (top)compartment you put your milk. You cook it on the stove top (it lets you know when it's done. The best part is, when you pour it, because of the the components are staggered, it pours out a perfect cappy, complete with the frothy/foamy top. You can sprinkle cinnamon or anything else to your liking on it. The cost is about $70 but the thing lasts FOREVER.

I toyed between this one and a Keurig but ultimately have decided to go ahead and get a Keurig just because I can have coffee, cocoa or tea just by popping in a different pod.

Good luck in your choice, my fellow coffee-lover!

I just wish I had a local Italian deli. - nm

CPAP MACHINE (sleep Machine) Feb 21, 2010
I got one on Monday and for some reason I take it off at 3am. My DH said he came in later to check on me and I snoring like a logger. When I wore it in the hospital for the test, it was much more comfortable than this one. Maybe I keep the straps too tight so no air will blow out. And maybe after a while I will get more use to it. My DH has had one for about 10 yrs. and I always punched him when his machine made a sound but he hasn't punched me once. In your mind can you imagine 2 people in ...

Elliptical MachineJul 05, 2011
I am  interested in getting some type of exercise equipment for home but I'm really cramped for space.  My knees bother me with walking or cycling and I was wondering about how elliptical machines affect knees.  I found one that is at a fairly reasonable price but it will be a little cramped space-wise, so I want to try to see how it might affect my knees before I go to the expense.  I'm in my late 50's and not physically active at all.  ...

Coffee - Help, AnaPSep 19, 2011

Coffee Time, Shipwrecked!Sep 16, 2011
Got my Mukka and my Kimbo Italian imported coffee and... WOW. My husband helped me figure out to set up the pot and it's just beyond amazing.  The espresso is excellent.  No diss to Starbucks, but THIS is espresso.  It seriously takes 4 minutes with the 2-cup model I purchased to have the perfect cappy right in front of you.  I'm still in awe at how the espresso brews from the bottom up through the fillter into the milk, heating it all to a perfect temperature.&nb ...

Brown Teeth From CoffeeMar 19, 2012
I saw how may coffee lovers we have on this board below, and I am certainly one of them, but I just can't stand how brown my teeth turn when I drink it. Any tips to keep this from happening? I brush twice a day, and I even gave up tea and coffee for a couple of months and my teeth turned back to white. I want to go for some interviews outside the house and don't want to be afraid of my smile. Dental treatments seem kind of pricey, but may go that route or else have to give up coffe ...

Keurig Coffee MakerJun 13, 2010
Had company a few weeks ago and they bought a Keurig coffee maker for us along with a variety of coffe "pods". So far, I have not found a coffee we like as much as Folger's 100% Columbian medium dark roast. All the ones we tried seem either too strong too acidic. Looking for suggestions on which coffee to try.  Not sure I would have purchased one of these "gadgets" as it is pricey and the "pods" are pricey, but it is nice for that first cup in the a.m. and even a late afternoon ...

Happy Coffee LoverNov 24, 2012
I finally found the perfect coffee maker!  Since there's only me, and I only drink one large mug of coffee day, there's no point in making a whole pot of coffee.  I've never liked the single-cup makers with the proprietary pods, since you never really know how fresh the coffee is, besides being expensive.   Then I found the perfect maker - a Hamilton Beach Scoop.  It lets you use your own coffee, and requires no filters.  It lets you choose between&nb ...

Best Sewing Machine For No Problem With TensionApr 16, 2011
I want to buy a sewing machine.  My problem with sewing is managing the bobbin thread tension on most sewing machine.  I thought I'd ask for information from anyone who sews a lot their recommendation for a sewing machine with problem-free tension.  I don't need one that does everything, just a simple machine with a good straight stitch but a good one that I do not have to worry about the tension.  It's caused me to just totally quit even trying anymore.  ...

Repairing The Job Machine (More Jobs Under Obama Than Bush?)May 15, 2010
More jobs might be created this year than during George W.

Bush's presidency. That comparison comes with many footnotes and asterisks. But it shows how the economic debate between the parties ...

How CNN's Fake News Machine Ran Conspiracy Theories,Jun 29, 2017
In April, media types were crowing that CNN had brought in Eric Lichtblau who had been, in the Washington Post’s words, at “the forefront of the New York Times’s reporting on the relationship between the Trump presidential campaign and Russia.” It was “an investment in investigative reporting and the sprawling Russia story”. It didn’t take long for the investigative investment to sprawl badly. Lichtblau has resigned from CNN in a growing scandal over a Fake News story about a Tr ...

Blueberry Sour Cream Coffee CakeApr 01, 2012
I just made the most scrumptious blueberry sour cream coffee cake. It was so moist and sweet, but not too sweet. DH told me it tasted like something we used to get in Germany. So I wanted to pass on the recipe if anyone is interested. I can't wait til later to have another piece. The recipe said to use a mixer, but I creamed the butter and sugar with a fork (my mixer is packed away), then I used a wire whisk to mix the rest. I also used a bundt pan, but am sure it could be made in ano ...
