    Default How do I work this thing!

    I have given in to nights of drooling over posts from those of you such as Goosemeplease and Dinder1 and bought one of these.... It comes with a small paperback novel for an instruction book.

    Does anyone know how to work one of these or will I have to enroll in college again? It is a Capresso Ultima model 121.... Thanks!

    No, they keep talking about grinding, tamping and pressure brewing and making crema coffee... I am making a pot of regular coffee to help deal with the stress of making the crema coffee....

    This is the kind of book that turned me off on school....

    I think I am just going to do the drip coffee and put this off for another day when I have someone here with a lot of patience who will help me with it.....

    It has handles, knobs, funnels and levers, blinking lights, carousels and a handle bar.... Why would you put a handlebar on a coffee machine!

    Jo, it comes with a removable coffee funnel insert with lid. You are not supposed to fill coffee into the coffee funnel if the funnel is not pointing towrads the front of the machine... i can't figure out what this first piece is.... I really am feeling dumb right now.. that is just the first instruction..... lol ... Aaaarrrggghhhh

    The "handle bar" is a milk steamer or something, I believe.

    Skim through the manual a bit and just go!

    Does this mean there will be a 'MamaBearBucks' in the future?

    Absolutely... just look for the coffee shop with a really, really long line of caffeine withdrawal people standing outside the door! Coming to a town near you!

    Pah-leeze! You don't need Chris. He doesn't drink coffee. That's my thing.

    Default It's all JoAnna's fault

    It doesn't taste anything like Starbucks.... but I am pretty impressed with myself. It is strong enough to wake the dead tho. I think I will get better with time, but probably wouldn't have done this it all without you guys.. Thanks.. Dinder, how bad does it look? There was some pretty brown foam on it but it dissapeared before I got the camera....

    I wish someone had told me not to fill the milk up all the way before frothing... there is foamed milk everywhere right now... Oh, well.. I will just drink the coffee...
