I am unsure whether i need to have a coffee machine

i recently bought this Briel ED132AFB Sintra Espresso Machine with Drip Coffeemaker and i cant get it to work, i want to do something as simple as make a cup of coffee but this thing is not do it…is there a video that could show me step by step how to do it or does anyone own this brand of coffee machine and maybe could help..plz thank you

The instructions on my machine are very confusing. On the glass carafe, it has markings for 2 cups and 4 cups. But, making 2 cups is more than a shot, which is supposed to be 1-1.5 oz, right? The 2 cup mark is like 5 oz of liquid. Should I cut back on the water and coffee just to make 1 shot, even though there isn’t any markings? I have a Mr. Coffee machine; I know, REALLY cheap, but it was a gift. Thanks in advance!

hi… i always buy starbucks french roast coffee and make it in my coffee machine at home.

but i dont know what espresso exactly is?does shot means that u add it to your normal coffee to make it stronger? or is one shot is a cup by it self and u drink it alone? and is it stronger than french roast? and can i buy the espresso blend from starbucks so i can make it at home? if not what is the best espresso blends to buy? (i have the espresso machine) thanx:)

I am looking to buy a coffee machine that can also dispense cappucino, espresso, and other speciality drinks by pressing one button. Any suggestions?

I am looking for a coffee machine to makes espresso, cappucino and lattes at the same time. However, most machines I come across only make espresso and cappucinno. And I understand that the steps to makes cappucinno and lattes are quite similar. So can I use a cappucinno maker to make lattes too?

I bought a Nespresso machine (Krups Citiz) for the year a pass in Paris. Now I’m going back home to Canada. I love my Nespresso machine and I’d prefer being able to bring it back then buying a new one at home (they a way more expensive). The problem is the electric system is of course not the same. But since nowadays, company try to cut cost by making power adapter compatible everywhere, I was wandering if that could be the case with this coffee machine.

I have a second hand coffee machine that also grinds whole beans, but I don’t know how much of the whole beans to put in the machine to equal what I would use ground. I cannot find any information at the manufacturers website/user manual.

Any ideas?

I’m buying a coffee machine for my Mum for her birthday and she loves coffee. I want to buy best tasting coffee beans what ever they’re called.

Any reccomendations?

I have a Mr. Coffee but the coffee never tastes that great I thought it was the coffee brands that I was buying but I don’t think so because I’ve tried just about all of the ones on the market!!!
I am talking about the coffee machine.

Make cafe style coffee in the comfort of your own home. The Presso, a classic elegant design, creates the pressure needed to make a real espresso from a clever valve/ pressure system. The Presso makes espressos, cappuccinos and lattes. The Presso is available from ECOutlet.

Hi, this will seem very silly to many of you, but I’m an Aussie girl staying in a US hotel and I have NO IDEA how you work a drip coffee machine. Would somebody have the time to help me? It seems to be the standard one I’ve seen in your movies – heat at the base, pyrex clear container above that, then a plastic container. I have figured out that water goes down when I put it together, but do I need to heat the water beforehand? Where is the coffe packet supposed to go? I’m lost. We use plungers or espresso machines at home.

How to make a Cappuccino with Saeco Royal Cappuccino coffee machine

I got an espresso machine for Christmas(woo!) and have drank way too many shots over the course of the past few days trying to refine my espresso making skills … unfortunately, I think they got worse!

I have the "Espressione 1329 Café Roma" (I will link to it at the bottom). My problem is this … if it even is a problem … I grid the coffee beans, put them in the coffee-ground-holder-thing and tamp it down. I press the espresso button and wait as the water is filtered through and produces espresso. Yay!. issue is, the coffee grounds in the filter thing are heavily watery and I am pretty sure they should not be so …

A) Is this a bad thing?
B) What does the watery status of the coffee grounds do to the quality of the shots?

Thanks!

I clean my filter all the time … at least, I think its the filter I am cleaning! Thanks for the advice though =)

I am currently living in France but am moving to Australia next month. I would like to take my Nescafe Dolce Gusto coffee machine with me but I am not sure if I can buy the coffee capsules in Australia. Does anyone know if it is possible to buy them there, or if it is possible to buy them in bulk and have them delivered within Australia?

The isomac Millenium’s new cool touch steam wands, water valves and 2 hole steam tip improve an already excellent coffee machine. There is no doubt that the Isomac Millenium is Italian design and quality at its best. Commercial components and additional features make this a versatile espresso machine for home or small business. To keep the heat constant throughout the process, the Millenium coffee maker features a large 3 litre water tank and a 1.4 litre boiler. The Millenium’s heat exchanger allows you to use the steam spout and make espresso at the same time. Furthermore, the Millenium also features a E-61 group head which maintains consistent and stable temperature. What is more, Millennium has its own tap for boiling water. This is a professional coffee machine with an enormous capacity.

I need to either buy or rent a small commercial espresso machine, I have been looking around but it’s sooo confusing out there when it comes to coffee!!!
I have a meeting next week with a pod style coffee machine Representative, but i have heard these machines are not ideal? I want to be up and running in a month from now and really just want names of good espresso machines to go with.
Yay! finally some great advice! I was beginning to loose hope! Thanks so much guys.

I bought a used Krups combination espresso and coffee machine that came with all the parts but without the instructions for use. The only numbers I can find on it at 1108HT and Krups type 171. Can you help me? Thanks.

WE’ve got some money Heavenly Blue morning glory seeds. My friend gets sick as hell from the shells though. NOw we put them in a coffee grinder, then gel tabs, then swollow them. But now we have a better idea…

Would it be possible to take the powdered seeds, place them in a high powered coffee machine (more like espresso machine) and get the chemicals like that? would it work?

any other ideas that dont involve ether would be great too.

Thanks,

steve
the place I get them from doesn’ coat them. all natural. www.iamshamin.com

but I wash them anyway. the gel tabs are really just a tiney piece of digestable plastic. so they release immediately. I hate the taste of chewing them. anyone tried the tea method?
