• Note: To make espresso (for 2 servings of this recipe) for those who do not know how, follow the directions below. Don't let the thought scare you it is almost as easy as making regular american coffee- it just takes a little practice:
• Buy a $30 machine (Mr. Coffee ECM250 is good).
• Put water into carafe up to band and put into machine.
• Put coffee (any kind of finely ground) into filter head and pack down well.
• Turn on and brew until carafe fills to 4 cup line that way there is still enough water in machine to steam milk.
• Switch to steam mode and steam milk (if you do not have a frothing pitcher a 12 oz ceramic mug will work filled half way with milk but takes 2 fill ups to make one serving of this recipe).
• Follow recipe and enjoy!
