Lust List

A good friend of mine owns the Nespresso espresso maker.  This machine makes single shots of espresso.  I had my reservations about drinking espresso that comes in capsule form but you would not believe how good it is.  Plus it is really compact and very sleek looking.  It also comes with a $250 price tag.  My friend works from home.  This is her Starbucks.  But me, I get to work out of an office.  I am also a Starbucks goldcard member.  There is no way I can begin to justify such a purchase.  Isn't it pretty though?

The jewel toned capsules... 

 

Lattes, Americanos - the world is your oyster with this machine.  Then there is the affogato.  Espresso poured over vanilla ice cream.  I have been dreaming of the affogato since my friend made it for me this past weekend.  You cannot imagine how complimentary the warm creamy bitter espresso is to the cold sweet scoops of vanilla ice cream.  How did I live this long without even knowing what an affogato is?!?  

Christmas is in three months...
