I assume that if I went with something like this I would get the coffee from the shop ground and ready to go for espresso? Sorry but I am a complete noob when it comes to this. My coffee maker is a Keurig so I don't even grind my beans for that although I have in the past. I even have a burr grinder at home... but it's a Black & Decker that I'm pretty sure won't cut the mustard for espresso.

I suppose the question I REALLY need to be asking myself is 'How much will I really use it?'. I truly enjoy a capacino or espresso from time to time at one of the local coffee shops but don't do it often because of the cost. I figure if I could make them at home I would do it more often but I have to be able to justify the cost for that freedom.

Thanks for the input so far guys
