Back to basics

I'm back to using my Mr. Coffee espresso maker, that my brother-in-law Bob bought me during one of their visits, after being somewhat dissatisfied with the Capresso milk heater-foamer I've been using for the past few years. The Capresso was quick and easy, and did really well at heating and stirring the milk, but it just didn't produce quite enough frothy foam for my liking. The espresso maker takes longer, with more involvement from me, and there's more to clean when I'm done, but we end up with a better latté and it all feels more "authentic."
