If you listen carefully, you can hear the old-school coffee machine whimpering in fear..
Its NEW!!
Its SHINY!!
Its terribly environmentally unfriendly!!
But sooooo convenient, fast and always fresh!
This bad boy coffee machine makes a cup of coffee in about 10 seconds. It doesn't use anything nasty like instant coffee or coffee "syrup", either.. this is fresh coffee from fresh grounds and perfectly brewed.. every.. single.. time!
Its also free (paid for by the office), so I'm pretty cool with that, too.
If a waiter stopped by right now to take your order, what cocktail or drink are you having?
"I'll have a quint, non-fat latte. Yes, that's five shots. No, I'm not on any heart medication. Yes, I have health insurance. Will I sign your waiver? Sure.."
Some days I'm good and just have one coffee in the morning. Other days, like today ~ faced with editing atrocious looking documents for work, warrant a second coffee beverage. The first is almost always hot, the second cold. Yum.
Watching the chocolate drip down the sides of the glass is kind of like watching a well-poured Guiness fall.
Most of my kitchen things could go on the things I don't regret getting list, the good Henckels knives, a nice set of pots and pans, the hanging rack, and all the KitchenAid gadgets, but the best purchase has got to be the espresso machine. It gets used at least once a day. I live above a Starbucks, and when I moved in I thought about how expensive that could be. So I indulged in a good coffee maker. And it has been so worth it.
It wasn't exactly the one I wanted, and yes, it is Starbucks branded (under the fish stickers), but it is still made by a good company and feels pretty solid. I got it on Ebay, it was half the price of the Rancilio Silvia ,and it came with a good burr grinder.
I'm going to go make use of it now.
