The problem is most people don't have grinders that can make the fine grind necessary for espresso, a normal coffee grinder just won't do it. Hints for n00bs, the proper grind should have an extraction time of about 25 seconds; steamed milk should be between 140 and 160F, after about 80F the milk can't hold much more air, so you should tilt the cup to form a spinning action in the cup --so it to heats up evenly. If you are using a mechanical thermometer check its reaction time, you may want to stop heating at 120F so the milk doesn't overheat.

The only spam was his thread. Which by the way breaks all the rules. He doesn't mention the product, price or anything else. So go thread crap somewhere else.

Sound familiar?

This is too funny. A member who spent his entire first month here getting threads locked and mod edited because he was posting referral links, coupon codes, and reposts now chides someone else for breaking the rules (although I am unable to locate these rules.) :laugh:

Hey now, let's not diss midnightbox. I just dropped $2499 on an item I could barely see. I'm not sure what it is but I do know I'm sure to save! Play the game baby....play the game...

So how many posts do you have to have under your belt before you can understand that 95% of this thread is useless conversation? The only thing I know from reading these forums is that there is a WOOT deal every night. Wait.. I already knew that.. so posting a new thread every day seems pointless. But then, I thought posting the changing interest rate on ING offers in a new thread every 3 hours was stupid too. Guess it's me...

Respect... what's that?

By the way.. I saw this post first (so kudos for keeping it at the top).. I like the deal.. gonna hevta look at it.

The real Irony is, the only way I found this thread through my sleepy morning eyes was all the spam banter bumping it back to the top :)
