One of the main reasons that people are reluctant to give up their $4 coffeehouse beverages is that they feel that they will not be able to recreate that same flavor and decadence in their own concoctions. When I was debating making the switch to home brewing, I have to admit, I had similar reservations. Instead of throwing in the towel, I decided to research some of the premium cappuccino makers that were available.
While Starbucks or The Coffee Bean may seem like they have proprietary information that sets them apart, the truth is that their products are created with the same ingredients as everyone else. Just like with any craft, the key to perfection is practice. It also doesn’t hurt to invest in a cappuccino machine that has programmed settings for creating a variety of specialty beverages.
