bought my new espresso machine!!! :) just wanted to write

[thumpersmom]

Good evening,

I am a definite newbie here, but I finally bought a real espresso machine. I got a Saeco V'Presso for what I thought was a good price of $400 (floor model but at a hardware store!).

I am thrilled :grin: Yummy coffee. Still weaning to a little less milk.

So, that's it. Just thought I would post to where people understand. And where people have spent more money than me!

Have a great day,
Melissa

Well it's been a week, you still loving it?

Yes I am still loving it!!! I am working with trying to fix the grind of the coffee, since it seems a little weak, but more likely it's the coffee beans. My husband bought some cheap coffee beans from Sam's Club. But I bought some new stuff that looked, and smelled, a little stronger.

Thanks for the support!
Melissa

Get yourself a tabletop coffee bean roaster like the iRoast2 for around $170, buy green beans on-line from http://www.sweetmarias.com you will never buy roasted beans again. In about 12 minutes you can roast enough beans for two or three days drinking pleasure.
