How did I ever live without a esspresso/cappuchino machine?

I have one and love it! But I only do the basic, make the coffee, froth the milk, add to the coffee and enjoy!

Oh I'm such a idiot. I broke the glass cup where the coffee goes in. It went flying off the counter when I was trying to take the top lid off to put water in.

I am off to the store to see if I can find a temporary replacement.

Its hard to see exactly what you mean, as your two lattes are blocking the view. LOL. But, is it a tiny carafe just like a normal coffee pot has? Wouldn't a normal coffee mug sitting there do the trick? Or, a glass measuring cup?

I just can't see if it has that special lid that makes the coffee stop/go depending on if the carafe is underneath.

This is what I have:

It's a tiny carafe, it does have a lid on it, but I am not sure what to do. I'm not sure if THAT controls how much goes through to the glass cup. I already called the company so maybe I'll get a replacement for free, since it "broke".. we'll see. I am gonna try out the small measuring cup to see what happens, but really, either that or a regular coffee cup would do fine.

In looking closely at it, I think you could get by without it...tell them you wore it out by making too many lattes in one day.

THIS is what I have (cause this is all about MY gifts, right? LOL)
