I went out to Beth and Paul’s house yesterday to get Reggie and ended up spending the night. This morning, Beth introduced me to a whole new world, something that had been foreign to me until today. I had my first shot of true espresso. Now, I need to be very careful with my consumption of caffeine. I am called hypermike for a reason, you know. But let me tell you, this was amazing. She has a new Nespresso machine, and it’s quite cool.
We started playing around with her old machine, a true barista-style espresso machine with steam wand. I had a true cappuccino. It was outstanding. And then we started playing around with the steamed milk. Unfortunately, it’s not something she can drink. Would you believe she gave me her old machine? I was floored! I’m very grateful and have spent the day playing with it. I’ve been trying to perfect the art of the perfect shot.
I never thought that I would become a java junkie. It’s not such a bad thing, is it?
