Default Espresso Makers

Anyone on here have one??

I've been considering one for a while now - just wanted to hear some input from other people.

my good friend who I'm probably living with next year has one but I don't so I don't have that much experience.


I've always been a RedBull person instead though and since I'm living with a REdBull rep, there is a ton of free redbull in my house all the time.

That's pretty awesome that you're living with a Red Bull rep.

I'm a fan of both, though. I just tend to drink Red Bull mostly in the afternoon, and coffee in the morning and later at night.

Personally I prefer an espresso maker. I enjoy the french press but I love that strong kick in the nuts you get from an espresso (with a slight amount of cane sugar).

Thanks for the input, guys.

At this point I'm pretty sure I'm going to get a French press, and with them being as inexpensive as they are I can still get an espresso machine down the road if I want to.

The only thing I worry about with the French press is I've read it will mess it up if you put grounds in it that are too fine.

What about vanilla frappuccino? Anyone know how to make those? I love those.
And I also have no idea what a french press is. If you do get it, please post pics and a review of what you bought.

Where are you going to be buying your coffee from? Cause if you buy from Starbucks, they will grind it for you for a french press. That is what I do for my french press and it has always been perfect!
