A Culinary question of sorts

I have a coffee/cappucino/espresso maker.

Do I have to buy a special type of coffee to make cappucino, or is just regular ground coffee ok? If a special type, what the difference? (bean, courseness)

Help. Thanks all.

no you need to buy espresso for it. any grocery store will have it next to the coffee.

just a word of caution (speaking fr experience), if its your first time using the espresso part of the machine and youre trying to steam milk for cappuccino, be very careful!!! the steam gets REALLY hot and i got burned quite a few times when i first got it.

ETA: good luck!

Thankyou for the tip about the steam.

Lori, if you don't mind the trip to Jersey - I'll make you a cup (hopefully without the intervention of the local hospital's burn unit) when you get into the driveway.
