Have you used it yet? Let us know how it works out, since I too spend a decent amount of money at starbucks. Out of curiosity, did you get the aeroccino frother as well?
EDIT: It appears that it comes with one attached? If that is what the cylinder on the side it.
Nasty.
EDIT: As in cool.
PS- Gas is currently 3.36 a gallon here.
Yes mine came with a Aeroccino attached, my friend got one for christmas and can't stop raving about it. I looked at them last year but was turned away from the 350+ price tag, on eBay though nespresso them self have them for sell refurbished for about 250 + Shipping and you still get the warranty through them so i figured why not. I'll post my results after it arrives
