We've gone through many different permutations of coffee-making, from grinding our own beans to the regular drip to an iced coffee maker.
I am an incorrigible coffee geek. I make espresso.
I have a lot of Italian friends, and they have espressos.
To me, every kitchen appliance is useful and nothing's overrated. When I look at my little espresso machine, I don't see coffee. I see a steaming valve as an opportunity to make amazing creme brulee.
I drink at least a couple of espressos every day and love the flavor of coffee.
I drink coffee every day, either espresso or cortado, which is two shots espresso and steamed milk.
I can't start my day without espresso.
Espresso, made by steam expressing finely ground coffee, is rich in flavor and aroma and chlorogenic acids, but not very concentrated at all in caffeine.
I honestly always thought my Master's in Fine Arts would get me further in the acting world than knowing how to work an espresso machine!
