There’s almost nothing more relaxing than a beautifully made latte in hand on a sunny afternoon. I think I actually enjoy the process, the sounds and smell, of extracting that delicious liquid we lovingly call Joe. Some say it’s an indulgence that they can’t afford but I say it’s a necessity.
Yes, I agree that an afternoon latte sounds great. That is one thing I will miss when I stop driving to work (& by the coffee shop) each morning. I’ve been trying to figure out how to make one at home. What kind of espresso machine do you use? I had one years ago but it was a pain to clean so I got rid of it. I’m thinking I need one again….
I have a Nespresso machine which is easy to use as it uses pods. No cleaning necessary!! The only drawback is that you have to order espresso capsules unless you’re lucky enough to live close to a specialty store that has them. Although the company is very prompt in shipping them to you and it only takes a few days to get them by mail. I LOVE my machine. It’s well worth the investment. You should try it! Most specialty stores and William Sonoma will demonstrate it for you before you buy.
Cups of coffee are so adorably photogenic. My preferred afternoon beverage -a glass of water – just does not have the same rich character and warmth. 🙂
Lovely! I really liked the style of your writing…shows an appreciation of the special moments in your day….. beautiful cup and delicate orchid to enrich your life!
Yum!! We have that mug! And I agree, afternoon lattes are totally a necessity 😉
