You can be your very own barista and brew your own espresso and cappuccino with the Capresso Mini-S Espresso/Cappuccino Machine. The Capresso Mini-S is an easy and fun way to make great tasting espresso and cappuccino.
The Capresso Mini-S uses pressurized steam to force the hot water through the grounds filter holder and filter. The small pot is no joke, that is all it makes, but it is so good. Until I received the Capresso Mini-S I had only had cappuccino and espresso from places like Starbucks and other coffee shops. Brewing or drawing your own is not difficult and with the right tools and the right beans you can have excellent espresso, cappuccino and lattes any time.
The Capresso Mini-S comes with the machine which consists of the base unit, the filter handle assembly with flip holder for the metal filter, the metal filter, the nozzle that comes off for cleaning, the little glass carafe, the boiler cap and a plastic drip tray. There is also a nice manual with step by step instructions and even a DVD to show you how to brew and use your Capresso Mini-S.
