Hi,
Im trying to decide what coffee machine to get....
I started with with instant, then went to using fresh beans and a french press, then i''ve bought a filter coffee machine (which is what im using now).
I''ve found that I can get just as nice a cup of coffee out of a filter machine than the french press...(probably due to inexperience).
I came inches away from buying the ''Gaggia Baby Twin'' yesterday then pulled out at the last minute.
Can anybody help me to decide whether an espresso machine is right for me?
For starters, I dont really enjoy espresso shots. I would be using the machine mainly for cappucinos for my wife, and macciattas for me (spelling?) Basically a double shot with a bit of milk.
How would a double shot from the espresso machine with a bit of milk compare to a filter coffee with a bit of milk??
Thanks alot for any help

View entire thread: XP20004 & steaming issues
Posted by Karl022 on 2007-01-08 15:45:23 Post Subject: XP20004 & steaming issues
Hi,
I hope someone here can help:
I have the Krups Espresso / Filter Coffee Machine, Expert Combi XP200040.
I have had this for 3 weeks, I have so far been unable to steam milk correctly for a cappucino.
A member of my family has a cheap espresso machine, so I watched him do it, making sure I was not doing anything wrong. I use fresh cold milk, a cold stainless steel pitch and wait for the light to go out before steaming, however, very little foam is created and instead the milk just boils.
I checked the user guide and it said to make sure the steam nozzle is clean, It is clean.
Yet still the milk just boils.
Is this a problem with the machine or with me?

I am looking for a filter coffee machine, but don''t know which one to get. I want something that will look stylish in my kitchen, but also makes good coffee!
Do you think that there is a difference in the quality/taste of the coffee produced by different machines, or its just dependant on the type of coffee you use?
