Annette-- These tips assume you have a drip coffeemaker, and are geared towards getting better results no matter what your model is or what beans you're using. That said, except for the gold filter most of these will apply to any brew method. As for steamed milk, the cheapest way that'll still yield decent results is to simply microwave your milk and froth it with a portable milk frother. For models of brewers with built-in steaming options, keep your eyes peeled for equipment reviews which will be showing up very soon. -a

What about the brewing method? Drip, press, etc. And is there a good, affordable option with some sort of milk steaming capability?

SL–

Capresso’s consumer stuff tends to vary widely in quality, but the CoffeeTEAM may be the best product they make. Steel conical slow burrs (rare on a home unit), gold coffee filter, water filter, grinding timer–and the fact that you’re still using it daily after two years speaks volumes. I don’t own one, but I definitely would.

Mmmm. Coffee.

Have you tried, and if so what do you think of, the Capresso CoffeeTeam? Mi esposa bought me one of these for Valentine’s Day two years ago and it’s cut way down on my Starby’s runs — because it lets me wake up to coffee that it ground immediately before brewing, at a preset time.
