There you go...two great options. Be careful to clean grounds from the group screen before flushing them into your cup though, if you decide to go that route. I prefer this method because the water is already at 200F. You don't need a thermometer or a frothing pitcher, and there's no splashing.

I just steam the water in the cup. It only takes a couple seconds, but it screeches like a banshee out of hell. Are you thinking of upgrading from your Barista to an Oscar? I did the same and was not disappointed, though I'd keep the Barista around with an unpressurized PF, as it makes a terrific travel machine.
