quick question

[ClipSlida99]

I just bought an espresso/cappuchino machine. Nothing real expensive or anything like that, but I'm afraid I'm not quite sure how to get started. Can i use my favorite coffee bean or is there a special espresso or cappuchino something i should be using?

thanks,
Justin

find a blend you like...but make sure that you grind the coffee fine enough for you machine...

Yeah, I agree find what you like, AND be readt to spend about 2-4 times the amount you paid for the espresso ,maching for a GOOD grinder. You see timing your shots and achiving the proper grind, is paramount in your espresso satisfaction. I would recomend you check out:
