A-HA! I see. Yes, I used to practically whip some sugar with a few drops of the espresso to create the crema -- I guess that's what I was used to. I have had the electric espresso machines with that little metal steamer bar thingie but I wasn't thrilled with the end result.
Yeah, one of these days I probably will invest in a good espresso machine. For now, it's occasional stove-top. I use instant Bustelo on a daily basis, though. *cowering*
