The everyday scene at our espresso machine. ☕️

I’ve had my regular two cups of coffee today, but am really dragging this afternoon. So, why not treat myself to an espresso to give me a boost? And I love using this little espresso cup that I bought at La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. It’s so cute.

Behold! Our new De’Longhi ESAM3300 Super Automatic Espresso/Coffee Machine, ready to caffeinate the holiday season! We’ve been enjoying it for a few days now, and we think it is great. It uses either whole beans or ground, so there aren’t any K-cups or Nespresso pods to clog the landfill. It also has a steam/froth feature if you like cappuccinos. So convenient and easy to use!
I still enjoy my regular pour-over coffee in the morning, but the afternoon espresso is really nice. ☕
