I'm thinking about getting an espresso maker machine, but not sure b/c it seems too much work just for a cup of coffee.. what do you think?!

Espresso isn't a cup of coffee, it's a shot of amazing.

That said, I don't think you'd want to do that every morning for such little pay off. Especially if you're like me and travel with it, expecting deliciousness on the go all day.

I've had a couple, I always get tired of the cleanup required and switch back to getting coffee at a stand. It helps that the closest stand to me has chicks in lingerie though too. I wonder if there's an espresso version of a machine as easy as the Keurig.



My favorite coffee is Vietnamese coffee though. So good. I've got the setup and get coffee imported from Vietnam.

I have a Capresso C1000. I can make coffee or espresso at the press of a button.

What's the cleanup like?

For mine? I put beans in one container, water in another container. Every other day, I dump the old grounds out of the waste bin. They don't make the C1000 any more, but they have newer models.

Wow, those are pretty cool. I'll have to decide if dropping a grand+ on an espresso machine is worth it, but I'm sure I would be satisfied with the product. It costs me about a grand per year for daily lattes prepared by hot chicks in lingerie so that might be tough to give up.

I've had a pod coffee machine for years now. It makes a damn good coffee and there is next to no mess to clean up afterwards. You can pour it as an espresso or a whole coffee, but espresso is the better way to drink coffee.
