Green Christmas Coffee Special

Sunday, November 29th, 2009

An espresso maker that doesn’t need electricity is a green gift—an espresso maker that plants trees is even greener. This holiday Season, Presso is offering a Green Christmas Special. Included with the Presso you will receive 200 grams of Espresso Coffee Beans and a Sugar Spoon sugar dispenser. And, for every Green Christmas Special sold Presso will plant a native tree. Now that’s green.

This year, get the Presso Green Christmas Special and give a little back.

Sorry, Coffee Maker

Presso VS. Big Brother From our friend Jake Garrett in Vancouver:
When I was a kid I would always put out all the utensils on the table even if we weren’t using spoons with that meal because otherwise I would feel bad for them. I thought this was something I was over, but evidently not, as I have begun to feel bad for my unused coffee maker ever since I got my Presso.

The coffee maker was the most used appliance in our kitchen, but now it sits like a neglected older brother after the new baby is brought home. My roommate uses the Presso every morning, instead of brewing a pot for herself. It’s faster, better, and more tasty than drip coffee. And it’s oh-so-satisfying to push down on those arms and see the espresso shoot out the bottom.

The Presso looks better, too. Its sleek metal build, its small footprint on the counter, its shortness. Next to the Presso, my coffee maker, bulky and dirty, looms over—an awkward looking older brother complete with headgear and too-short pants.

So I feel bad for my coffee maker. But I don’t feel bad enough to stop using the Presso, so I just keep my coffee maker out on the counter with the intention of using it. That’s almost the same thing, right?
