Au début je me disais la même chose que j'allais en acheter des sac de 500gr pour avoir des grains le plus frais possible, mais j'ai abandonné. Maintenant j'achète des sacs de 1kg. Les sacs doivent déjà passer des semaines sur un bateau avant d'arriver à Montréal, alors c'est pas de passer 1-2 semaines de plus dans le sac ouvert que je fais toujours attention de bien le fermer qui va changer grand chose.
SRT-What?

le secret c'est le retirer le plus d'air possible et de les conserver dans des contenants scellés à l'abri de la lumière.
J'achète mes grains au costco et dès que j'ouvre le sac je le transvide dans des pots massons. J'ouvre un pot masson à la fois par la suite. Ça me permet d'alterner de sorte de café d'un pot à l'autre au lieu de me taper 2kg de la même sorte d'une shot et ceux en rangement ne se dégrade pas (ou vraiment plus lentement). Je n'ai pas constaté de variation de gout entre la première tasse de café du sac neuf ou d'un pot qui a été rangé à l'obscurité pendant un mois.
Évidemment je grinde juste la bonne quantité à chaque fois que je me fais un café (filtre, french press, espresso ou moka).

Bon.
I wanted a cappuccino maker (ok no, my WIFE wants a cappuccino maker) but I don't want to spend 1000$ on one.
Would a normal 200~500$ cappuccino maker (espresso really) work correctly when adding an automatic frother?
Something like this:
http://a.co/csgfZtN or http://a.co/5CLa3Ig or https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/oster-automatic-milk-frother/6000196318388
Along with this:
http://a.co/4m21YeD or http://a.co/2dIpfAh
Basically a "decent" entry-level espresso maker and a separate frother or like the oster latte prima grande venti something an all-in-one machine.
Anyone?

that automatic frother thing from wal-mart will make garbage cappucino. It's essentially a milk heater and nothing else.
You want to be able to control the quantity and quality of the foam you create.

Isn't cappuccino essentially just a latte with froth over it? My take on this is that I'd make a normal espresso or short coffee then add the froth in.

Ok here is my advice in a nutshell.
2 ways of doing this
1st buy Nespresso capsules and that machine that's one touch latissima . Buy it used on kijii , I've seen them for like 150-200 used . But you're stuck always paying Nespresso for the cups .
2nd buy a espresso machine and get fresh coffee either grinded at a local place like union( and you can tell them it comes out too quick or too slow , so they can pick the right setting for your machine ) or buy a good grinder burr not blade and do it yourself . This way you can use any coffee you like and it will be cheaper if you drink 1-2 day in the long run. Get a good used machine , gaggia classic comes to mind . Used machine can find one for like 250-300$. Learn how to froth milk , trial and error for a while

in the dumb down american sense of it yes. In practice the foam has a texture/consistency of its own. Depending on how you froth your milk you'll end up with different type of milk/foam. From just hot milk (simply heating the milk) to a light creamy foamy milk more suitable for cappuccino (by incorporating more air into the milk as you're heating it)
Idealy a cappuccino is light and has a smooth texture to it, it isn't just an extra layer of foam on top of the milk.
