Aaah, now that’s more like it! I finally pulled out my Mukka Express today, and whipped up my very own home brew cappuccino.

I am impressed. It frothed up the milk like it’s supposed to, and made the coffee just right. The basic functioning is this: the coffee comes up through the middle like any stove-top espresso maker, and the milk, which is in the top half of the maker, froths up as the hot coffee forces itself up. Very, very cool.

The noise the thing made scared the crap out of me though, let me tell you. When the steam pressure builds up, the little nobby pops up and makes a boat-load of noise. But it makes a mean cappuccino.
