I was so excited to get my Nespresso machine this week--or as I affectionately call it, the "George Clooney" (He endorses it--even more reason to love him). A friend made me a cappuccino from her Nespresso machine and it was love at first try. After spending almost 2 weeks in Italy, I knew my old coffee maker just wasn't gonna cut it anymore. I devised this plan to make sure my husband had lots of good espresso and cappuccino while in Italy, then I made him some intentionally really bad coffee when we returned in hope he would get the hint and buy me the machine. It took a while, but it worked! :)
Not only is it a beautiful piece, it is so intuitively and efficiently designed. Making espresso takes about 20 seconds and cappuccino about a minute. Super easy and clean-up is a breeze.
Shiny, pretty--and Ferrari red. This is the model that also has a milk steamer/frother.

The colorful coffee capsules.
Alessi espresso glass and creamer. We were given a set for our wedding in 1993--it's almost vintage!
I can just smell it!
An afternoon shot.
Or if you prefer a capuccino, froth the milk.
Wake up and smell the cappuccino.
Ok, so I have yet to master the pretty designs you can make with the milk--gotta go to barista school!
Love it! Did you know you can take used capsules to Sur La Table at The Grove to be recycled?
