[BlindTlk] looking for accessible espresso machines

[Sherry Gomes]

That's what I'm wanting to be able to drink espresso or lattes only.

I have had two different pro-sumer machines, a Capresso, which is what I use now, and it is totally accessible -- all knobs and hard switches, no touch-screens, and makes a nice espresso and latte or capichino as well. 

I also had a Baratsa which was a higher end machine, and equally accessible.
I love them both! Espresso is all I drink at home anymore.

That sounds right.  I think mine is still in the basement somewhere
-- may even have two.  I had a cappuccino party once in Baltimore, so bought a second.  It was fun -- but too much work.
