| I want to buy one. I can't seem to find a good site for reviews. Prices vary wildly. I used to work in a coffee while in grad school so generally know how to use the equipment. I want to make lattes. Do you have one??? Any tips on selecting one??? THANK YOU! |

| If you want a semiautomatic, I'd head over to coffeegeek for advice, or you could try Seattle Coffee Gear-- they have good prices and are very helpful. |

I've read A LOT of good reviews for this one. I have looked at coffee geek but am overwhelmed by the number of reviews. |

Does semi-auto mean you get one (espresso) shot per trigger pull?

I *think* semi auto means you are responsible for grinding the beans and tamping them in, and then the machine pulls the shot for you. Full manual means you would do everything (control the water as well) and superautomatic means the machine does everything for you. |

| We stayed at a hotel with an in-room Nespresso make and it was amazing. Better than Starbucks and other coffee skips I've been to! |
