Q: breville instant cappuccino coffee machine?
does anyone know what the difference is between the black and silver one and the brushed silver one. because i found the black one is around £40 and the silver one is around £70 but cant find a difference really. all answers welcome
A: It's a cosmetic difference. Brushed silver is always more expensive, so it depends on if you leave it out when you're not using it, and if the finish worries you! The coffee tastes really good though, and Lavaza is the best of the readily available coffees. Enjoy!
Q: What is the best cappuccino for coffee machines?
I'm trying to find the best coffee (cappuccino) for coffee machines
A: If you have a machine where you grind your own beans, I prefer dark French roast (ground fine, of course).
If you have a machine that requires packets, I don't have any opinion.
Cappuccino is not a type of coffee, it's a way of preparing coffee.
Q: Can anybody tell me if there is a certain type of coffee to use for a cappuccino/espresso machine?
I want to buy a cappuccino/espresso machine but I am not familiar with how to make it. I wanted to know if there are a certain type and/or consistency of beans to get? If you live in Maryland, let me know where I can buy these coffee beans. Any help would be appreciated.
A: You need a dark roasted bean usually from Africa or Columbia but the African beans flavor better. A French Press is the best manner to get the coffee's full flavor.
You want coffee beans that are named Espresso roast.
It is best to get whole bean and ground yourself.
Usually Starbucks has a nice variety or any specialty coffee shop. You can buy from them or get it from their supplier on line.
Stay away from National Brand coffee and espresso offerings, they are the cheaper white bean from Poorer parts of the world and not the best quality.

As far as liqueur recipes, you could always add a shot of chocolate, peppermint, and or raspberry liqueur to your coffee. Yum!
Q: How to make frothy milk for cappuccino coffee?
Anyone got any good tips for frothing milk with one of those steamer nozzles on a coffee machine? I`ve just started a new job in a coffee shop and can`t make a good cappuccino.
A: First of all, make sure you use cold milk (if you're refrothing warm milk, add an ice cube or two). Secondly, semi-skimmed is the best milk to use. Dip the nozzle in the milk (jug no more than 1/2 full) so that it is at an angle and only just under the surface of the milk. Turn on the steam and gently let the milk begin to spin and bubble (if it spits milk at you, the nozzle isn't in far enough). Move the jug up and down gently to create more froth. Finally, stick the nozzle right in to heat the milk at the bottom.
All you need is practice. The true test of a good froth is being able to make a snowman on the top of the coffee.
Q: I am looking for a cappuccino machine that make the coffee and froth instantly at the same time.?
I saw one SOMEWHERE and now can't find it. you put coffee, milk and water in and it makes it,, can you please please help me??
A: I think it's the Kenwood Frothie, have a look in the Argos catalogue, they will probably have something suitable in there :)
Q: How do you make the perfect cup of instant coffee?
e.g. Which water, which milk, sugar or artificial sweetener, boiling times, resting times, brewng times, temperature etc. Any tips on making normal INSTANT coffee, no latte, cappuccino, coffee machines etc, just instant.
A: First put 1 tea spoon full of coffee into a mug, then add about an 8th of a cup of milk, don't worry if it looks disgusting, then add two spoon-fulls of caster suger and stirr well. Take your kettle off just before it boils and pour the water in, making sure to cover the whole area. Et vwala your perfect cup of coffee.
Q: Can anyone recommend really good coffee machine?
I'm looking for a coffee machine that I can make cappuccino’s and latte's etc. I have seen load's of different one's on ebay any don't want to spend more than £100
A: I went on ebay just before christmas and ordered my husabnd a gagia espresso machine from italy. It was a buy now not a bid. I got it including delivery for £89 new. Its great. Even though the fittings and for european plug socket a standard computer adapter has the same voltage required and fits perfectly. Best thing i've ever bought him we use it every day. Of course the key is not just the maker but putting decent coffee into it as well.
Q: What Coffee machine would you recommend for making Lattes and Cappuccinos?
Ideally looking around to pay £50 max for something.
Kind of looking for a good all rounder to make espressos, Cappuccinos and mostly Lattes.
There was a Breville machine that did this but apparently it has a major design flaw (25 negatives!).
A: You will not get a machine that makes espresso for £50, at least not new
Try an aerolatte as these come highly recommended or a swissgold filter
Contrary to popular opinion great coffee doesnt necessarily mean espresso
It means buying great freshly roasted coffee in bean form & buying a basic coffee grinder to grind the beans as you need them.
Then use a Swissgold filter (£10) or Aerolatte, or indeed whatever you fancy & you will be A-S-T-O-U-N-D-E-D at just how good the coffee in your cup tastes.
Furthermore, you will save an absolute fortune over buying your coffee from a cafe

Q: How to make a thick frost on a cappuccino 'coffee shop style'?
I always loved the cappuccino style with teh thick frost /milk on top of it. Now I have a fairly good machine myself, but my milk doesn't get as thick as the one I get in the coffee shops.
How do I make it like that?
Ries
A: The key is to warm the milk at the bottom first. Stick the hot air "wand" to the bottom of your glass/pourer (whatever the milk is in). Once it starts bubbling, take the hot air in and out of the milk at a pretty fast rate along the side of the glass or pourer. Keep this up until the froth is a desired thickness. Then spoon it on your cappuccino.
:0) Good Luck.
Q: What is the difference between Latte, Cappuccino, and Mocha? I just got a machine, how do I make...?
What is the difference? I just got a machine (expresso, coffee, and milk steamer/frother) and want to know how I can make a Latte (and use the flavor syrup I bought), a French Vanilla Cappuccino, and a White Chocolate Mocha.
A: Ok, a Latte is a flavored coffee/milk drink. Generally you put your flavoring in the cup first, for a 16 oz cup, its just short of a full shot glass. for 20oz, its a full shot. You should then steam your milk to at least 160 degrees and have a nice smooth froth on top by holding the wand just below the top of the milk. you should hear a slight sucking sound. This is what you would get at an espresso stand. Once you get your milk steamed, pour enough in the cup to about half full. Next you should put your coffee grinds into the piece with the handle and should tamp the coffee grinds hard enough so that when your shots of espresso come out, they have a smooth flow to them, but take 15 to 20 seconds to fill a shot glass. it takes some time to adjust how hard you pack the coffee, and to find what works for you. make sure these shots are put into your cup within 7 seconds to prevent the espresso shots from tasting burnt or bitter. generally a 16oz has two shots in it, some 20oz's have 2, some have 3 shots. It depends on how strong you want the coffee. Next you should fill the cup most of the way with more milk, stir, and then top it off with some of the foam you made in the beginning.
Now, a cappuccino would either be dry or wet, it all depends on how you like them. Most of the time a cappuccino is about 8 or 10oz from what ive experienced. Now, remember when you made the latte, and in the beginning you frothed your milk, well you want to do this, but make alot more froth. A wet cappuccino is one that has more liquid in it, and a dry cappuccino is one that's all foam. You want to take all the foam you've made and pour it into a cup, adding as much liquid as you'd like to it. Next you will want to make one or two shots of espresso and pour them into the cup. you can add a slight bit of flavor if youd like (french vanilla as i see you asked about)
Now to the mocha. all of the mocha's ive ever made have been latte's with chocolate flavoring instead of the other flavors. so you would make it the same as a latte but with chocolate syrup. I have seen some places where they put vanilla into it also. some people also add whipped cream to the top, but thats depending on your preference.
