All I Want For Christmas Is An Espresso Maker
Hubby has been asking me what I want for Christmas and all I really want is a good espresso maker. Preferably one of those machines that also steams up milk. I just love the idea of waking up on a Sunday morning and being able to whip up a nice Cappuccino or Cafe Creme without having to leave the house. Yes, it would be an extra appliance sitting around the kitchen counter, but I think it would be well worth it and not having to run up to the coffee shop for my (almost) daily fix would quickly pay for the machine.
My dream machine is one of those heavy stainless steel ones that pressure steams the perfect cup of espresso, but honestly, I’d even settle for a cheap plastic model or even one of those old fashioned stove top peculators. Anything to get this delicious, aromatic black gold into a tiny cup.

And you have to love those little espresso cups. Just too cute and the perfect size for that quick afternoon pick-me-up. Caffeinated deliciousness!
