la la la latte!

it's here!  my beautiful wonderful cuisinart espresso maker.  it's actually been here for a week, but i only today decided it was time to perfect the home brewed espresso.  & oh.my.gosh, i am so happy with it!

say goodbye to the $5 coffee shop latte.  (but maybe not the pumpkin spice latte from SB.  & definitely not the coffee shop all together.  i have a serious love for sipping a cup of coffee in a local coffee shop.  but that is another day & another post.)


so pretty next to the matching cuisinart coffee grinder.  (thanks, julie byrd!)

step 1: steam your milk.  according to SB policy, it is ok for milk to sit after steaming.  it is never ok for espresso to sit.



step 2:  get your espresso on.  you want an excellent, rich crema.  



step 3:  pour milk into espresso.  i, clearly, am not very good at doing that while taking a picture.  shut up.  



step 4: enjoy the beauty of your work!



mmmmm...
love love,
kjp.

  1. I am soooo jealous of that latte machine! Steamed milk is the best thing in the world.
