I have a machine for this. I do switch it on in the morning. I put the sieve under the bean mill and grind a fixed amount of coffee into it. Then I press the coffee powder a bit and put the sieve into the holder, lock it and then I only need to press the button for the steam. I put my mug under the sieve. A double espresso shot drops into my mug. I use the steam nozzle to heat up and prepare a bit of milk. I add a teaspoon of sugar to the coffee and afterwards the steamed milk. Tataa! This is my morning coffee Italian style in a french "bol" mug. A giant cappucino basically.
