• Buy a $30 machine (Mr. Coffee ECM250 is good).
• Put water into carafe up to band and put into machine.
• Put coffee (any kind of finely ground) into filter head and pack down well.
• Turn on and brew until carafe fills to 4 cup line that way there is still enough water in machine to steam milk.
• Switch to steam mode and steam milk (if you do not have a frothing pitcher a 12 oz ceramic mug will work filled half way with milk but takes 2 fill ups to make one serving of this recipe).
• Follow recipe and enjoy!
