What goes with an espresso/cappuchino maker?

Question

I bought my bf an espresso maker for Christmas. What kinda stuff do I need to buy to go with it? Does it need special coffee filters or coffee or anything? Any suggestions?? I'm clueless.

Answer 1

Depending on what kind of machine it is, it might be nice to buy him some espresso grind coffee. It could be the machine that you just put in the preloaded packets. You could buy him some nice little espresso cups. Or a coffee bean grinder and some coffee beans. With the grinder he can buy whole beans anytime he wants and have really fresh coffee at his liking. It's really not that complicated, just read the side of the box.

Answer 2

You need ground expresso beans Id gor an italian or spanish brand you dont need coffee filters it has its own built in that will need to be rinsed after each use. You can also buy him sugar cubes Cinnamon or those liquid shots in flavors also available in coffee isle. I would suggest expresso cups, just 2, or 4 they the very small coffee cups with saucers and you could even buy biscotti or cookies Good luck I hope these suggestions help.

Answer 3

I would suggest a nice set of espresso cups. You could also include a gift card to a gourmet coffee shop so they can go pick out their own beans and other goodies. It is all about the presentation so wrap it up nice.

Answer 4

Answer 5

Yes you would have to by special blend of espresso coffee for your coffee maker.
