ramblinboy Report post Posted September 12, 2010 We have a Rancilio Sylvia for home espresso/latte with a Rancilio Rocky grinder. We can produce lattes that are on par with high end coffee houses for breakfast coffee. They are both heavy machines. Anyone have lightweight alternatives? Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

DeltaDonnie Report post Posted September 12, 2010 My sister-in-law is a district manager for Starbucks, she says some of their stores sell this small machine, it's called "Aroma Expresso Machine" and retails for $269.99, again she says it works really well. You can order online here also. Starbucks On-line Store Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ramblinboy Report post Posted November 16, 2010 Got a chance to demo a Nespresso machine - makes great espresso and the milk foamer works very well. $349 and much lighter than our two machine system. Just make sure your preheat everything - water, cups before you make a shot. http://www.nespresso.com/#/us/en/coffee_ma...-milk---titan-1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
