A little inside secret Sue. Starbucks uses distilled water to make their coffee. Not "purified" but distilled. Use a good quality coffee + distilled water and taste the difference.
How do I work this thing!

Ah hah! I have tons of distilled water here in my mad scientists lab! Thank you!
Also, I used Splenda and it tastes like, well, Splenda to me. I am going to try another batch with distilled water and sugar... as soon as the shakes slow down....
Hi Sue
Good on you! you did it!
Try skim milk it foams more better!

Can you get decaf in espresso?
I really wish I had embarked on this project in the morning instead of at night.. I believe I have kicked my own butt..... Yes-
Generaly speaking and expecting to have the Portland coffee gods correct me,
Expresso Coffee is just coffee that has been ground finer some roasts and some beans make a better cup but its still Coffee beans.
I am decaf after 3pm.

I'll stick with my simple, elegant Nespresso machine:

Ok,
I'm confused, which side of those do you put the eggs in at, where does the completed breakfast come out, and finally, what grade of jet fuel does it run on?

This machine creates a grade of rocket fuel where you never desire breakfast ever again!
My heart is only now slowing down! Note to self.. never do this at nighttime again!

I love the smell of JP-5 in the morning!
John do you let your coffee sit for 12 hours before drinking it too?

I don't think it could have gotten any easier than that! Where do you get the little coffee capsules? Very cool honey! Very, very cool!
Well, I'm not sure you need this now, but Capresso's website has videos of this model in operation...

I am afraid to do it again... I swear there isn't a wall in this house I didn't bounce off of last night... I only had a medium sized mug of the stuff!
It didn't taste like Starbucks, but Starbucks has never had me feeling like Alice Cravitz before either!
(here we go again!)
