Hubby came home with this thingamajig given to him for 25 years at work. A Delonghie thing that is outside anything we have ever seen or even wanted.
It looks impressive but we do not know what the Hell it does or can do. What on earth can we do with this thing ???
Neither of us have ever had Espresso or Cappuccino coffee or what ever and would love to play with the machine.
However as we have never had this stuff before we do not know how it is suppose to taste. We are just everyday folks that drink perked coffee in the AM and not into the Starbucks life. Any one with one of these machines Please tell me the up and down side of the machine.
Interesting gift to give factory workers for 25 years of labor and loyalty. As if the pay were so good the workers could afford to go to Starbucks every day.
WHAT THE HELL IS THIS THING, Please help.

vesta, most manufacturers of ANY kind of machine publish OWNER'S MANUALS that tell you how to operate, clean, maintain, and otherwise deal with the machine.
I suggest you use your favorite search engine, input the name of the manufacturer, model number, etc., and do a SEARCH for the owner's manual.
They are usually posted on the company's web site in .pdf format. That means all you have to do is download the document, save it to your computer, print it out, read it, that sort of thing.
As to what cappuccino and espresso are and how they're made and what makes them what they are, once again go to your trusty search engine and RESEARCH what those beverages are.
The answers are there for the taking. All you have to do is put your question in your search engine and you'll be AMAZED at the number of answers that pop up.

It looks like the Death Star was fooling around with Mr. Coffee's old lady.

Re-gift it to somebody. Donate it to the church kitchen or their yard sale. That's what I'd do with one of those.

You can send it to me. I'll even pay for postage.

1--Go to Starbucks. Pay $4 for a shot of espresso. Pay $5 for a cappucino.
Now you know what they taste like. Determine if you like them. Take all the time you need. Buy more Starbucks or Aroma Joe's beverages to be sure.
Open up Instruction Guide. That's the booklet thingy in the box that tells you what all those little IKEA-like parts in there do and how it works. Read it. More importantly, UNDERSTAND it. If in fact you wish to use said device, follow the instructions on how to make cappucinos and espressos. I like them, but haven't had them in quite some time as I do not have a cappucino/espresso machine. Alas, I must suffer with my Keurig, or still worse, Mr. Coffee.

Vesta, an Espresso machine is a wonderful way to get your daily required caffeine vitamins. Work it right you can even get you chocolate vitamins in, so much easier that taking two Hershey Kisses first thing in the morning.
Vitamins come in all sorts and sizes. I like pizza vitamins the best. Its easy to supplement you diet with vitamins. When I drink hot chocolate, I always drop a few marshmallow vitamins in for good measure.
That said, Espresso machines don't exist in the third world and that's pretty sad. But its probably OK since they would overdo the caffeine vitamins and all their hair would fall out like Ron Howard. All his hair fell out when he was like 14. I don't think they had Espresso machines back then, but you get my point. All things in moderation.
kinda sad about Ron Howard. He was Opie, you know. Opie was such a good boy. But I'm thinking you can tell even then that Opie was wearing a toupee. This is why Ron Howard went into directing, ever since Kojack was canceled there really hasn't been many opening for bald guys. I really don't understand why cause girls always say bald guys are all sessy and stuff. Maybe the gals are just lying because their husbands are bald and they don't want their husbands to feel bad.
I always wonder what happened to that Ronco product of spray on hair. It wasn't really hair but just spray paint. But even little old ladies with sparse hair were getting their heads sprayed. From the camera angle it sure looked good. And this is really what we need to help unemployment. We ship Espresso machines to the third world and sell them spray on hair when they all go bald. Its a win/win situation. So OK, don't pay attention to me when I say all things in moderation. thus is really what we need, and it could even save Ron Howard's career. Henry Winkler kept all his hair cause he drank beer, and now he produces Ghost Hunters. Maybe I should stay with the moderation thing cause Ghost Hunters only looks good when you are drunk. otherwise its just some guys in old buildings at night. Still its pretty cheap, but we don't need cheap because it doesn't employ as many people as Spray on Hair would.
So, in short I think we can help the third world at the same time as helping unemployment, but only in right to work states, because you can't help baldness in the third world if workers are on strike. Sure workers have the right to organize, but only in moderation, right? So only 12% of the workers should belong to the union, or 24% if the union is only half as powerful. we have weekends off because of unions, thanks guys! So it's a good thing that we don't have to break a union if they only have 12-24 percent of the workers. But a half strength union might be interesting because they couldn't strike all day, they would have to make yup their time at work, so they would take turns striking for 2 hours and working for 10--that way they could get a full 8 hours in and still not lose any pay. Another win/win situation!
Still I hope they do a better job making Espressos and spray on hair cause unions do a lousy job making cars.

OMG------I think I have found a soul mate in Mr. Mannn. He does make more sense then the fricken directions to use this piece of -----High end living.
So what on earth will cause Anyone to pay $4-$5.00 for a frieking cup of flavored water ?????
Sparky is the one with common sense, before I even try out the damn thing I should waste $5.00 to find out if I even like the taste. No one I know has ever blown that much money on a drink unless there is booze in it.
Thank you both Mr. Mannn and Sparky, All these new fangled things that one may use just once a year----Juicers and those got to have cooking divices we see on TV, not only deplete the bank account but 6 months of no use we wonder---What the Hell is this thing and why did I spend enough money on it that I could have bought 3-4 pair of good quality shoes for.???????

Have no idea Gina, too darn old to bend over and take a sniff. I will have to ask the Mail Man and as long as he does not smell Cucumber, guess I passed the sniff test.
Now if the Mail Man says he smells Starkist Tuna, then I know I am hot to trot, still going strong.
