You'd be surprised by how much you can achieve with just a Nespresso machine and a milk frother. Although Nespresso coffee makers are simple pod brewers, famous for their quick and easy espressos, they can be used to create barista-type drinks that you'd spend good money on at the coffee shop. It's similar to how you'd use a more advanced espresso machine, just without all the complicated parts.
Nespresso make some of the best coffee makers available, but my machine is relatively basic compared to most. It's the Nespresso Essenza Mini, part of the Original line of coffee makers that offer limited functions compared to the newer Vertuo line.
