[BlindTlk] looking for accessible espresso machines

[Brian Miller]

I bought mine at Sur la Table, cost me about $200 to $300 if I remember
correctly. My machine does not use pods... You grind the coffee and put it
in the doser and tamp it down, put the doser in the grouphead where the
water comes out, flip the switch, and voila! Espresso. 

There is a separate steam wand you can use to make your froth for lattes and
capichinos... Again, just flip the switch, and you are on your way to frothy
goodness.

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.
