[quote=Anonymous]DD studied in Seville, Spain this past semester, and just returned home with a new love of what she calls “cafe con leche.” I am thinking I may last minute try to buy her some inexpensive and easy equipment to make these drinks in her college apartment.

From what I read, the drink is 50/50 espresso or strong coffee, on one hand, and steamed milk but no foam/froth, on the other (if that is wrong, feel open to correct me). Any ideas for ounces of each?

Steamed milk I would think she can make by heating milk in a mug in the microwave, right? So I need to figure out how she can make an espresso inexpensively.

I’m willing to buy her a small nespresso machine, but aren’t those pods very expensive? She’ll be buying the coffee or pods or like herself when she grocery shops. What about instant espresso? Or can one brew espresso inexpensively in a drip pot?

Obviously I don’t drink coffee so I do not know how any of this works. Please educate and advise me. Thank you! [/quote]
