New Toy

Shiny and new

Ohh new toy, new toy! Tres excitement!

We bought a Nespresso machine last Sunday. Eager ol' me fascinated by anything new and shiny had to unpack and read the instruction manual straight away. It came with a sample of blends to try, I was intrigued by the 'menu' of coffees - there are so many varieties. The 'pods' or as the Nespresso people call it 'grands crus' came in; Ristretto, Arpeggio, Roma, Livanto, Capriccio, Volluto and Cosi blends to name a few, each with its own intensity and tasting suggestions. Some blends are better for cappuccinos and some are better for espressos. There are also decaf blends, ones to be enjoyed in a long glass and limited editions on the website. Did I mention the pods came in pretty colours?

Pretty colours

The box came with an Aeroccino machine to make your hot milk/froth for your cappuccino, latte and hot chocolate. It even makes cold milk froth for iced coffees.

Pre-froth , Froth and Livanto in process

So sit back, relax and let it take you away to Clooney's villa in Lake Como....
