Nothing major but
I had to rearrange it to make room for my new expresso and capuccino maker, a Nespresso CitiZ D120 with an Aeroccino, which is a milk frother. I saw this machine at Sur La Table last weekend and asked for a demo. I liked it but I thought it was too expensive. When I got home, I looked on Ebay and found a brand new one that was given to the seller as a gift but decided to sell it instead. I saved almost $100 buying it on Ebay even with shipping, so I am a happy camper.
The seller also gave me 36 extra pods.
I keep my pods in that "Expresso" canister.
I fixed myself a capuccino right away and it was really good! it was so easy too.
For my regular coffee, I use a Melitta. I use individual pods because John does not drink coffee so it is more practical for me to fix just one cup at a time.
My favorite Melitta coffee flavor is Hazelnut.
I hate those plastic glasses but dh likes to use them cause he can fit 2 cans of diet coke into them. He is a diet coke addict.
I also made one for my mom and she really enjoyed it too.
Thank you all for coming by today. And I want to thank our gracious hostesses for all these fun memes. I hope you get to visit them and their participants also.
Christine, that is such a nice machine you got and how smart are you to check out ebay. Good deal. I love how neat and organized your coffee nook is.
