Buy a coffee pot, this is a tea kettle. If you like coffee steeped in temperatures designed for a perfect cup of tea then straight black coffee can be acquired but espressos are tiny lol, like shot glass tiny added to steamed milk. You will need to buy a machine specifically designed for espressos, frappes, and cappuccinos. You can find them for $30.00-$700.00 for individual use for between 1 and 4 people. Anything cheaper is junk. Single serve for around 30.00-60.00 will be right up your alley. Happy hunting, each comes with a manual to explain the difference between the drink types and preparation.
