Jeremy, this is the beginning of a beautiful relationship. I give my Capresso a hug every morning! The counter says I've brewed more than 3000 coffees, lattes and espressos. The machine has never been serviced and it's never failed. I figure I've put more than 100 pounds of beans through my machine. We are in love.

Mark, do you use the milk thingy? And is the cleaning too hard?

I'm just a little apprehensive because a HUGE coffee day for me would be 10 cups of coffee.

Its $1800 for the Salvatore Manual. Sometimes on the Bay you can find em for a little more than a G.

I've never used mine. I drink black espresso or cafe americano. If I need to froth milk for Julie (she likes cappuccino) then I froth the milk with the wand right in the cup. If I'm making a pair of cappuccinos I'll froth the milk in a stainless steel frothing pitcher. I think the add-on milk frother thingy would be great f you need to make a dozen cappuccinos or lattes all at once. That might come in handy being a rock star. I don't know how many ladies you are typically making coffee for in the morning.

Geeze Moses...that machine's price would buy a damned fine pool cue, AND more than a few Pabst Blue Ribbons...not many packs of Camels, tho...

It's a threesome. A beautiful thing, I might add.

Has anyone in California ever seen one of these Super-Automatic machines?



The company that markets them is based in LA. Anyone heard of Espresso Etc?

Hey Everybody, I"m giving away free tickets to listen to my stereo ( I have no musical talent) for anyone who makes me an espresso with a coffee maker that costs more than 4 new wheels, tires and an alignment!!!

Yeah but a 3 some with a machine is a purely CA, Bay area thing....that is until some bright guy in NY discovers it and makes it into their very own perversion.

Well Todd: if you're lamenting the cost of the machine, I understand.

My buddy gave me an insane deal on the machine because he knows I love coffee, so I'm taking it at that value. Not once have I thought about what the "rational me" would do with $5k, because it's a disservice to my friend's good will.

Okay, maybe I thought about it for a minute.

Hotter chicks in the Starbucks for sure, my friend. Ask young Tom BRPORSCHE, apparently.
