Espresso machine owners - latte art?

[s0urce]

^Yes you have to get the nespresso cartridges I believe. They come in a shit load of flavors though. I'll look into other companies to see if they offer something compatible. I've never checked.

The lowest model starts at 199$ and makes a damn good espresso. They go all the way up to the 649$ model which I believe has a built in steamer etc.

If it's just espresso you want I suggest the 199$ model. You pop in the cartridge and press the on button and that's it.

Interesting. Are the cartridges proprietary? I would want to be able to mix up the type of coffee I brew. And my sister is a store manager at Starbucks, so I can get coffee free by the pound.

Sooo, I think it's about time that I get myself an espresso machine. I had some repairs I had to do on my rental and I'm in school, so I'm not exactly going to be a big spender on this. Can I get a decent machine for $200-$250?

I really doubt I'll be making lattes. I don't drink milk, so it'll just be espresso for me. Any brands I should look at? Shy away from?

And just for good measure, eat a blue mountain Jamaican dick.

yes you can get a decent machine for a few hundred bucks. theres a few benefits in having a commercial machine but that doesnt mean you cant make good espresso without one. with a commercial machine you gain the ability to make a shitload of drinks one after another. this is nice when company is over but otherwise its a bit of overkill. you should go to coffeesnobs or coffeegeek.com and start reading. i dont know a lot about the 2-500 dollar machines so i dont want to recommend anything i dont know about. but theres lots of knowledgeable guys to help there. i just started roasting my own beans after carl talked me into buying a roaster. i havent perfected it yet but each batch is getting better and better. its fun too. i bought the roaster with a friend who lives nearby and we get together and roast while rubbing each others buttocks.

You pathetic shrunken up old man.

Funny how that brain disorder of yours makes you remember things the opposite of how they occurred.

You were whimpering like a little girl when you took me ATM. Next time, I will forego the courtesy wipe and give you the full dirty Sanchez.

If you stop by this way on your drive down to the Vintage, and you get on your knees and beg forgiveness, I might be gentler with you. . .

And Jethro says he wants to hear you squeal like a pig . . .

Oh geez - we are going to get into that measuring battle again?

Just like when we measured our dicks, you will lose.

Our island is 4x12 - and it is full of cabinets and drawers where we hide away things we are not using.

The reason i lost when we measured dicks was because mine was buried 8" into your throat when i measured mine and i only was able to measure the remaining 4". next time i will withdraw it from your esophagus, wipe it on your curtains and measure the full erect monster
and you will lose

This is a pot rack:



But what you have there, well . . .

my island is 4' x 10'. if i hung that pot rack over it it would be the equivalent of your cock in your pants
