I used to spend a small fortune at Starbucks and Seattle’s Best Coffee and Peets. Not any more. About six months ago, I bought my own home espresso maker, and I’m pleased to say it works great.
The model I purchased is now on sale at Amazon.com. If you’re a fellow coffee lover, check out the Cappresso C1000. The $599 price tag may seem high, but trust me, this is a screaming deal. (Update: As of January 2005, the price tag is back up to $799. See what a deal it was?) I read lots of reviews at CoffeeGeek.com before settling on this machine. No regrets. At $3 per latte it will pay for itself in just a few months.

Hi Ed,
First off, sorry for commenting in an unrelated post (the related on didn’t have comments on). I was wondering if you were able to get Windows XP Media Center Edition working with the ATI All-in-Wonder 9600 video card. I have been having all sorts of problems trying to get it to work. ATIs web site and documentation are a mess! Any help you might be able to provide would be extremely appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike
