Oh, my heck! I have known for a long time that I really, really, really, like espresso. Well, actually, I like the espresso that is in the “2 pump, sugar free vanilla, breve latte, extra hot” that I have been ordering from my local Starbucks for a long time. My habit has become somewhat of an expensive one, but I can stop any time, really I can. So I decided to cut cost on my beloved lattes. I figured I would purchase my own espresso machine. I did my research for the best one that I could buy for the cash I had available (Kohl’s Cash after the holidays). I had around $100 of Kohl’s Cash to spend, but also knew if I just waited long enough the espresso machine that I was wanting would go on sale and I would have enough to purchase it without any additional out-of-pocket money. Bingo, espresso machine on sale for just a smidgen more than my Kohl's Cash would cover. I brought my new purchase home and I have become even more of an espresso fan. Now, my order has a double shot of espresso in it. If one is good, two has to be better, right? I do believe a problem is brewing, because this week my thoughts went to, “If two is better, three has to be the bomb.” Wow, I really do {heart} espresso.
Our old latte/coffee maker that was a wedding gift (almost 11 years ago) finally died and we had to get a new machine. Well you can make cappuccinos on the new one and let me just say that Bart has perfected the art of the perfect cappuccino!! Who knew cappuccinos were so good, compared to lattes?! So, I'm right there with ya...so nice to have one of those yummy cuppas, right in the comfort of our own home! :)

Sounds like you are a good shopper and very patient. I love strong coffee and had an espresso once but it was just too strong. Cappuccinos and lattes are tasty though.
