Both the Bialetti and the battery-powered frother came from Amazon

I'm sure you can get both things at other housewares stores.
And the difference between coffee and espresso is that espresso is far, far less acidic because of the short period of time the steam contacts the grounds versus the much-longer period of time that hot water sits on the grounds of drip coffee. Likewise, while espresso has a similar amount of caffeine as coffee, you drink espresso by the ounce and coffee by the cup, so the net result is that espresso is much lower in caffeine. I've tried decaf coffee, and it's the acid, not the caffeine, that gets me.
I make an Americano latte, which is espresso, hot water, frothed 2% milk (2% froths better than skim or whole milk) and, if I'm feeling upscale, cinnamon and chocolate. So while the whole drink is probably close to 8 ounces, very little of it is actually caffeinated.
And it's "she" not "he", thank you.
