Coffee - Cappichino


Expert: Gene Johnson - 8/22/2002

Question
I love cappuccino and I am interested in buying a cappuccino machine. Every machine that I have read about says Espresso/Cappuccino. Are they the same thing? What is the difference? Will any home machine be able to taste like Starbucks, and can you make mocha lattes with the machine as well? Sorry for the 20 questions. Thanks in advance for any help!

Answer
hi michelle
Espresso= coffee brewed under pressure to extract the "heart" of the coffee.
Latte=espresso+2/3 steamed milk 1/3 frothed milk,Mocha add chocolate&whipped cream
 Cappuccino=1/3steamed milk 2/3 frothed milk.
most home machines do not make "true" espresso but they are pretty good you might have to spend about $200 to get a good one but one that is good and cheap is Delongi(check the spelling)
hope i helped if you have anything else just ask
