Do you need an espresso machine to make espresso coffee or can I use a regular coffee machine?

I want to make this recipe [http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Abbeys-White-Chocolate-Latte/Detail.aspx], but I don't own an espresso machine. If I absolutely need one, do you think I could just substitute the espresso with regular coffee instead..or would that ruin the latte?

No, you cannot use a regular coffee machine to make espresso -- it's a different process. And it's not a latte if it doesn't contain espresso, so in that sense, yes, I suppose using regular coffee would ruin it. However, it won't explode or anything, so if you want to go ahead and do it, it might taste okay anyway. But it won't be a latte.
