Home Baristas?
 
I started to get into espresso and cappuccinos the last few years. I need it to get my morning started and it's something I enjoy making for guests when they come over.

Wonder if anyone else has a hobby of being a home barista?


Here's my machine! :happy0180:

Did that cost you a good set of wheels and a nice exhaust?

FnFast 05-20-2013 10:42 PM

$350. But it paid for itself already. I don't hit up Wawa for coffee or Starbucks. I make my own in the morning. A bag of espresso beans lasts me over a month and cost $13. If it was n't for this machine I wouldn't be making as much money. haha

I own this.

Any mother wants one, hell everyone wants one. You can entertain children with it when you turn it on and it starts spinning. Best whatever amount of money i ever spent on an kitchen appliance.

Keurig machine here. And that's despite managing a Starbucks. LOL.

That looks like a pretty nifty machine though. How long does it take for the steamer to heat up?

Nespresso or Illy > All other coffee machines --

I love my Nespresso Machine, Always great -- always consistent!

I have a keurig and a french press. Arabian Mocha Sanani was my favorite!

I use to enjoy French press. It only take 15 secs for the steam wand to heat up. Usually I start purging the wand while I add the espresso to the capsule.
