I’m a big believer in the simple pleasures in life, and one of my simple pleasures is coffee: espresso, to be exact.  For a few years the Mister and I were spending far too much money at coffee shops.  One day, we came to our senses and realized we could save a great deal of money if we invested in our own espresso machine.  So, we bought this:

Our Espresso Machine

We bought that thing 3 years ago, and it’s still going strong.  Also, it’s extremely convenient to stumble into the kitchen every morning and make our own Americanos or Lattes.  As a bonus, it also dispenses hot water, which makes it very nice for a quick cup of tea.

I’m surprised it took us so long to buy one, actually, given how much coffee the Mister drinks in one day.  I’m a 2-cup girl, but he’s more like a 6- to 8-cup guy!
