Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are…
Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect Tomorrow.
One day I shall dig my nails into the earth,
or bury my face in my pillow,
or stretch myself taut, or raise my hands to the sky
and want, more than all the world, your return.

Santa needs some advice

Yes, I know everyone's busy with their own lives, it's the weekend and there's always a million and one things to do besides blog, but...
I need your input! 

So, whenever you get to it, if you could share your wisdom, I'd be quite grateful.

I'm thinking of getting someone a cappuccino machine.  Now, if I had unlimited funds, I'm sure there are all kinds of fancy-shmancy machines I would choose from and I'm sure any of them would be wonderful.  But,

shocker...

I do not have unlimited funds.

Anyway, I've found a couple of relatively inexpensive machines, but I'm wondering if anyone out there has some advice for me.

I'd like a machine that makes good cappuccino as well as expresso.  A machine that will froth milk.
Anyone have one they like?  One they hate?  One they like, but...

Thanks.

CH gave me a West Bend espresso/coffee maker a couple of years ago that I don't think cost more than $50. It makes coffee, cappuccino, espresso, and lattes. Easy cleanup, easy to make; the only thing I don't like about it is that I could never figure out how to make the steamed/frothed milk & espresso for lattes/cappuccinos at the same time. No big deal, though. I just steam the milk first, then make the espresso. One other thing: it still doesn't taste like Starbucks! :D
