What kind of coffee would you use to make a cappucino?

I've used regular coffee in the stovetop cappuccino maker to good result - just a little finer ground that usual. As mentioned in the other examples, cappucino roasts are plentiful, but keep BrightHawk's comments about not grinding too fine in mind.

It depends what kind of coffee you usually prefer. I like a darker roast than most people drink, so I use a medium-dark roast from a local coffee house (Caribou Coffee, Obsidian). If you are comparing to Starbucks, they usually use their Kenya blend for their espresso drinks. Start with your favorite bean, grind it medium-fine (not as fine as espresso, but not as coarse as for drip brewing). The grind matters greatly. If it's too fine, it can clog the filter and cause problems with brewing. If it's too coarse, you don't get the best flavor extraction. I hope this helps.

I use Starbucks' whole Espresso beans and grind them in my Krups coffee grinder. I imagine the type of beans or coffee you use will depend on your flavor preference. I prefer a bold espresso taste, so I use espresso beans, but I have used a milder flavored bean (I think it was a french roast?) and it worked fine.

It must be finely ground, as a for espresso (finer than American coffee and rawer than the Turkish one). About the flavor, it depends by your taste, but I prefer to avoid artificially-flavored coffees.

Just stay away from the usual American blends and you'll be fine. I usually use Lavazza Roma or Prima Gusto but I heard Illy is even better. Lavazza Roma is a bit less intense compared to Gusto but its upto your taste requirements.

A dark roast, and a grind not so fine like the one used for real cappuccino. If You want some thing from the shelf, Illy is excelent. From my point of view You can't get microfoam from this maker, needed for a real cappuccino. With the Taylor & Ng Bellman CX-25 Stovetop Espresso Maker, You can.

Mine heats up to 140 degrees which is considered the right temperature for a Cappuccino. Some may find it not hot enough.

The capsules come as milk or coffee. Fir instance the cappuccino would be made from 2 capsules ie 1 milk and 1 coffee. Whereas the american houseblend is just 1 coffee capsule and you may want to add milk and sugar after depending on your preference. its teally easy to make though. i would definitely recommend it.

You can add enough water to suit your needs. Just use the measuring guide on the carafe as to how many cups whether it be one cup or four cups. A real espresso is served in a tiny "espresso cup" so yeah, you can make about four of them or two regular coffees or cappuccinos. I've done that way without a problem. Eventually you will learn to adjust how much coffee or how much water you need to suit your taste. Unfortunately my Delongui expresso maker didn't even last a year so I am in search of another product. Good luck with yours!

This pods are used with the espresso makers, you just add the water into the reservoir and you can brew a three ounce espresso shot or enough coffee to make a latte or cappuccino. But again,these are just to be used with espresso machines.

Any coffee you like, provided it is ground for espresso. Of the packaged variety you can use Bustelo foor espresso.Enjoy!

The latte macchiato has a very distinct 2 layer drink. it is also less 'milky' in taste. the cappucino uses more milk. At the end of the day, it does not differ much.

Once you open the main chamber to load the coffee-shell, a green light turns on over the machine. There are three options. Small circle, middle circle, and big circle. If you touch the small circle you choose a ristretto *15ml* of coffee. If you choose the middle circle you'll get a classical espresso *25ml*. If you choose the big circle you'll get a Lungo *40ml*.To operate the machine with your selection, simply close the latch and the machine fires up the coffee type you chose. Happy espresso!

We use it in our regular coffee maker mixed with our Italian coffee beans every morning. Also make expresso with it in the Italian expresso pot. It is our very favorite.

I make a double shot cappuccino two or three times a day. I use approx. two tsps. per cappuccino, I also use 8.8 package of espresso. I would say approx. 43 per 8.8 package. I have a machine that uses capsules, cost too much for what I use. you save big time by using ground coffee.

How well the cappucchino taste also heavily depneds on the foam you make. This machine make reasonalby good espresso, but is OK for foam. If you are really into cappucchino/expresso, I would recommend a manual machine like Breville 870. My personal bias, it worths it.

Any coffee can be prepared espresso style as long as the grind and water to coffee ratio are appropriate. I use a Solis burr coffee grinder just before brewing with a setting a few notches coarser than for espresso. That is perfect for the Mukka and the Brikka pots. Typically, espresso is blended from Brazilian coffees but there are also wonderful espressos from African coffees. Southern Italian style espressos are dark roasted and the bitterness is a desired trait. Northern Italian esspressos are medium roast with richer coffee flavor and much less bitterness. Illy sells medium and dark roasts both as beans and ground specifically for moka pots like the Mukka and Brikka. Illy has carefully crafted flavors for which large followings have developed. Illy coffee is to espresso what CocaCola is to carbonated drinks. So if you want to try a mainstream flavor that remains constant over time try Illy. Also, see the offerings of George Howell at Terroir Coffee Company for milder roast espressos. www.terroircoffee.com George Howell literally travels the world over for very fine coffees which he custom roasts. His coffees are like fine varietal wines. So if you like variety and exposing yourself to different flavors all of which are top notch try these.

You can use any kind of coffee, just grind it fine for expresso or buy espresso ground type.

It depends on how many different types of coffee you would like to drink! The keurig has A LOt more options than the dolce. However the dolce brews at a very high pressure which allows it to make lattes and cappuccinos. Check out this link for a lot of good info on these machines: http://www.nichepage.com/n/kitchenware/single-cup-coffee-maker

This is really a specialty machine for cappucino, expression and lattes. I would not suggest this if you were looking for a regular cup of coffee

Hello, I don't have a cappuccino maker, but I used to. I think you would put the pumpkin pie sauce in the milk before you froth it and then add the frothy mixture to the coffee. I just love it in my coffee as is! Enjoy!
