A cappuccino machine question????
Hi
I'm looking to buy a cappuccino machine, but i wanna know what r the best brands? I dont want one of those crappy ones that make bubbles instead of foam.......Also do they require a specific kind of expresso or can i just use noraml nescafe???
Answers:
I have always used Krups for espresso machines. My first was a very basic model that made the espresso in a carafe. The one I currently have is more of a professional model which uses steam to "brew" the coffee. I certainly can say that I trust Krups. Both units have a system on the side for steaming the milk and they both did a very good job with that.
As for what kind of coffee... I buy either whole beans and grind them myself - VERY fine for an espresso machine. OR, I buy Illy ground coffee - It's VERY good. Enjoy!
Do some research on the web. I don't think you can use Nescafe in it!
The one I have is a Hamilton Beach one. It uses grains and pods. I think it works all right...but I prefer still getting mine from the local store.
Krupps is a good - not too explensive brand os expresso machines.
Any kinf of coffee can be an expresso, as long as it is dark roasted and finely ground. My favorite is Bustelo. YUM!
I make my cappuccino the old fashioned way-over the stove.
1. Make the expresso with a traditonal stove top percolator.
2. Meanwhile froth the milk over the stove in a pan over low heat.
3. When coffee and milk are done use equal parts milk and coffee.
4. Drink it the way it is or add cream and sugar.
Most importantly, enjoy.
