Calming that Craving

Monday, December 15th, 2008

Do you have a caffeine addiction? Do you reach for that coffee cup every morning or constantly stop by the local Java joint?  What if you could have the indulgence of creating your own fancy caffeine fix at home?  Well, with your own Capresso Espresso/Cappuccino Machine you can. This fancy baby allows you do froth and foam your favorite flavors and even comes with an instructional video that may turn you into a barista before you know it. 

You might could even impress your friends or husband by whipping up them a Caramel Cappaccino with a dollop of cream.  Wouldn’t that be cool?  This is definitely a more affordable option and you can learn to use it quickly and easily. It won’t take up too much space and it will help you to get your daily caffeine fix.  I say that’s a win-win.

Brewing Coffee Just Got Better

Wednesday, September 24th, 2008

A couple of years ago for Christmas I got the Tassimo Beverage system. I really liked the coffee, latte and teas this machine made, but there were a few design flaws. Whenever you made a larger cup of coffee, water would spill out leaving you to wipe up each time. Also it was fairly loud which kept me from using it when I had to get up early. Well good news, Tassimo has a newly designed system that works like a charm.

The single serve coffee maker heats up quicker, is quieter, and does not leak all over the counter like the older model. They all redesigned the water reservoir with a built in filter. Tassimo has also increased the types of coffees and teas they offer. Starbucks and Seattle’s Best is one the more well known coffee and tea brands they offer. Tassimo claims is the only hot beverage system to perfectly brew Starbucks coffee. I have tasted the coffee and I believe them!

A Milk Frother that Tastes Just Like a Cappuccino Machine

Monday, August 11th, 2008

img66mFor Christmas last year I requested a Primo Milk Frother, thinking it would be a good stocking stuffer. Move over Starbucks, I can not believe how much I love my frother! This cordless gadget transforms hot milk into a rich, creamy topping for lattes, cappuccinos and other beverages. But I also use it to mix creamer into my morning coffee, or stir any sauces I am heating slowly over the oven. It can be used for kitchen purposes also, such as quickly mixing eggs with milk for scrambled eggs, or smoothing out small lumps of batter. The uses are endless!

The frothing coils are stainless-steel, and the ergonomic handle makes it easy to hold while mixing. It is easy to store in its light weight stand-up holder. Best of all no cords! It requires 2 AA batteries. The removable stem is machine washable.

Forget spending tons of money on cappuccinos or lattes, this Primo Milk Frother is well…PRIMO
