Here is our video of the Gaggia Baby Class. The Baby Gaggia was first introduced in 1977 and it is still going strong. The brewing components are just like the ones found on the commercial machines.

Top Deal Review – De’Longhi EC155 15 BAR Pump Espresso and Cappuccino Maker
t.co – Top Deal Review – De’Longhi EC155 15 BAR Pump Espresso and Cappuccino Maker I love espresso, and this little baby makes a great cup. Here are a few points that might be useful for you to know: Good points: *It doesn’t take up too much room on the counter and looks nice with it’s silver metal accents. *The water reservoir is a good size, you can make about 8-10 shots before you need to refill it, which is very easy to do, and there is a clear section behind the basket which shows the water level. *Fast heat-up time (only about a minute), good frothing wand, no wait time between frothing and brewing (though you do have to wait a little between brewing and frothing). Be warned: *Frothing wand is only 3 1/4 inches from the counter top. Not a big deal, I just went and bought a frothing cup that is about that height. *Distance from grounds basket to tray is only 2 1/2 inches, I usually use a small espresso cup. *Built-in tamper sucks, buy a good metal one. *You don’t end up with a nice dry puck, the grounds basket is a watery soup after your espresso is made, so I dump it down the disposal. *You will end up drinking more espresso than you mean to, it’s that good! Seriously, I chose this machine after a lot of online researching, and decided on this one based on its outstanding reviews and great price. What led me to it were the reviews of another DeLonghi, the EC140B, which is an older and less attractive model, but had reviews from people who had owned theirs for 6 and …

How to make a cappuccino on Rancilio Silvia
The Silvia’s boiler is made of marine grade brass and has the largest volume (12 oz.) of any home machine in its class.

The Perfect Cappuccino — Gourmet Coffee & Espresso (Organic, Fair Trade, & Hipster-Free!)
3 baristas, 2 directors, 0 hipsters, 1 perfect cappuccino… THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!!! Caffè, or Espresso: Straight shot of coffee Caffè americano: Not exactly coffee as known in the United States, but more watered-down than espresso, fairly strong and flavorful. Caffè corretto: An espresso “corrected” by a shot of liquor, to correct, perhaps, your wine hangover. Caffè macchiato: An espresso “stained” with a dab of steamed milk. Caffè ristretto: Espresso with a tad less water, stronger than regular espresso. Cappuccio, or Cappuccino: Coffee combined with steamed milk (more so than macchiato) and taken only at breakfast. Thoroughly mixed. (Did you know: Cappuccino gets its name from the Capuchin friars for their brown garb and ring of brown hair, just like the drink!)

CoffeeIcon.com Presents the Latte Milk Frother by Bodum
BODUM Latte Milk Frother – Battery Operated With this sensational milk frother the perfect foam comes at the push of a button. An absolute novelty, the BODUM LATTE’s foaming spiral not only rotates in both directions, but it also moves up and down, thus pumping more air into the milk and making the foam, to put it simply, even foamier. The BODUM LATTE comes with batteries in its rubber lid and a big button on top to get it going. For best results use ice cold non-fat or low-fat milk, froth it and then put the BODUM LATTE into the microwave for hot foam. Turn any Keurig K-cup Portion Pack or cup of coffee into a frothy latte!!
