For ease, convenience and cleanliness, there's really no beating a capsule espresso machine. Sure, you're not going to achieve the God Shot, but if you're looking for a great cup of coffee that you can easily make at home -- one cup at a time -- Nespresso series of machines are definitely worth your consideration. One of their newer machines, the Maestria, combines their typical espresso extraction technology with one great new feature: A steam wand! We really dig this because, historically speaking, milk frothing on a Nespresso machine was handled either by a stand alone frother (different variations of the Aeroccino) or via a cappuccinatore type system -- neither of which gave you much control over the milk foam quality nor temperature. Watch Gail take us from box to cup -- showing us how to set up the Maestria and then making a latte using its steam wand.
