How do I make "coffee shots"?
QUESTION:
I am new to wanting to make my own coffee at home like the ones u buy from the coffee shops. I know that it takes shots I was just wondering what machine would I need to get for that.
ANSWER:
There are two principal ways to make coffee.
First, you can buy yourself a coffee maker and make regular cups of coffee, like you would get at a gas station, fast food restaurant or office. The most popular kind of coffee maker for regular coffee is a drip brewer.
You can learn more about this on our best coffee makers page.
The “shots” you talk about, which form the base for drinks like cappuccino and latte, are made in an espresso machine. An espresso machine is quite unlike a regular coffee brewer. So if it’s the espresso shots you want, you’ll need to get an espresso machine.
