I am linking with the following:Marty for Tabletop Tuesday at http://astrollthrulife.blogspot.com/
This is the "Before" picture.
And this is "After".
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.

A coffee nook, now I need one of these. Our home revolves around the coffee pot! What a good deal, you are a good shopper.
What a great coffee nook - it is so well organized. I'd like an area like that for my tea.
You got such a deal on the new machine.
Wonderful coffee nook. Its bright colors and cafe' like appearance are so cheery. I am unfortunately deathly allergic to coffee but I love the smell of it. The picture of your Mum is lovely, take care.
ooohhh very nice Christine! I've been wanting one of those Nespresso makers. They use those even in hotels in Europe coz they're so convenient.
