There are pouches of that as well, which are added to make the "cappucino" have a foamy topping. But it tastes like ass, and is in no way a substitute for actual steamed milk. :) You’re right about the topping goo.

It's just a single-use filter-pouch coffee/tea system. No espresso, no cappuccino, no foam. (Which is, mind you, fine, and still for an office probably a great improvement over a normal coffeemaker system. But damnit, no espresso.) If only it really DID make espresso... (The big one claims "espresso strength" mode for normal coffee, which I imagine means simply a longer infusion. Pah. Call me when it can do Turkish. Even the cappuccino is really just a plain coffee with a packet of special "cappuccino topping" goo on it... Man.) You can get espresso roast coffee out of it, but not espresso.

I saw it once when I was meeting him there and it looked very cool. Cisco does a nice job with the free beverages, but we don't have any nifty high-tech drink-preparation machines around. Oh well...
