A good Cappicuno machine

[scrappinsweetie]

ok coffee girls, i need a good machine to make things like white chocolate mocha's from starbucks. also need good recipes for drinks like you get at starbucks. I am about to be tempted by starbucks everyday and that is dangerous for a broke girl, so my thoughts are to make my own :) any advice??

[Nikki Epperson]

I have no advice, but I'd love to do the same. I hope someone has answers ;)

I would love to know, too. I like that crap gas station stuff, too, for when I am cold, but I won't spend that everyday either.

I've searched for a year and no clue still... interested in what others say :)

Machines like the Tassimo can make Starbucks like drinks, but the machine is pretty pricey, as are the pods...

The reviews for this one (http://www.walmart.com/ip/Saeco-Nina-Espresso-Machine-Silver-and-Dark-Grey/12569393) are decent.

Here are some recipes I found for the white chocolate mocha...

Wish I could afford that machine right now. I love Starbucks.

I have a starbucks Barista machine. It makes great espresso drinks, but I don't think it's going to save you much money unless you buy a LOT of starbucks.

You need to buy an espresso machine and the applicable syrups and/or powders. I have this one, but you can more economical ones. I buy most of my coffee and supplies at Costco Business, but most grocery stores sell them too. You can ask the barista at Starbucks exactly what they use and how much of it.
