Have you ever worked at Starbucks or a similar coffee house?

Question

I want to learn how to make my regular Starbucks drink at home so I can save some money.

What kind of coffee maker do I need to buy to make a mocha drink? I usually order a non-fat, no-whip mocha. Also, once I have the right coffee maker, how exactly do I make the drink? I have tried several different variations, but mine always tastes like crap!!

HELP!!

Also, I need some tips on good brands of coffee makers, where I can get one that doesn't cost *too* much... and where do I get all of the other supplies I will need?

Thanks!!

Firstly you need a formal barrista, espresso/cap machine. One that forces steam through the grinds and makes a single up at a time. You can buy an espsson machine just about anywhere..

A standard drip coffee maker often burns the coffee and will give it is very bitter after taste.

You do need to use a good quality coffee as well. simply make a shot of espresso, heat and froth milk (add to espresso) with a shot of flavor syrup garnish with milk foam or whipped cream.
