For me this is the best way to make cappuccino. You get to use all kinds of coffee beans for your coffee and you can experiment until you find the perfect cup of coffee. These coffee makers do not grind the coffee so you may want to have a look at coffee grinders. I have written a lens about Best Krups Coffee Grinders which you may find interesting. Krups are one of the leading producers of coffee grinders and people keep coming back to Krups after their old ones give up...I did too, lol.
The Bialetti cappuccino makers are used on the stove on a hot plate. Most of them you add the water and coffee and milk if you want cappuccino and the coffee maker does all the rest of the work for you. However, you do need to figure out the exact perfect temperature on the stove...which can be a little problematic. If it is too hot it froths over...if it is not hot enough it doesn't cook properly.
There is, however, a solution to the problem. Bialetti have a few of these units with their own electric heat source. The coffee maker sits on a plate like a kettle which you plug in and it gets the temperature right each time. Then you coffee is perfect...some say even better than Starbucks. And although the coffee maker is quite expensive initially, it will pay for itself many times over in the savings from drinking fewer take-away coffees.
