Perfecting the Art of Espresso-making

I have finally ditched the many weak attempts at making coffee that tastes like dirty socks and ultimately running to the nearest Starbucks.  I finally bought an espresso/cappucinno machine and coffee bean grinder this weekend.  Two failed attempts so far. . . I can't get the espresso to drip dark brown and I can't get the milk to froth to the right temperature without overflowing.  Despite my frustrations, I managed to google the solutions: buy an espresso tamper to make sure the water flows through the grounded coffee evenly and buy a milk frother pitcher.  Done and done.  So much work for a good cup of coffee. . .
