impress(o) my friends

Monday, October 26th, 2009

Just back from a cottage weekend north of Peterborough, Ontario to celebrate some birthdays and enjoy the fall colours.   No skinny dipping this time around I’m afraid, just a roaring fire, fun games, great food and plenty of wine shared with an awesome group of friends.  I was on ‘breakfast duty’ so to impress(o) my friends, I pressed out a few espressos and americanos for the group.  Big hit!

I’ve been using Lavazza but I’m wondering if anyone has suggestions of other great brands to try?

Friends, still loving my presso

I’ve always been daunted by the big boxy machines I’ve seen on friend’s kitchen counters and have instead relied heavily on my local coffee shops to do the work for me. Dose, tamp and pulls were foreign… concepts.

Presso is the easiest espresso maker I’ve ever used and finally understand that espresso isn’t simply strong coffee. There is a true art and technique to pulling the perfect shot…one that Presso let’s you do first hand. Using your hands. It’s really quite cool.

Presso and the Chickens

Presso and hens

The presso seems right at home out on the green grass surrounded by chickens. I guess one could say it’s only natural as the Presso is one of the lightest and transportable espresso maker in the world. If you love the taste of a fresh espresso and a cafe is not close by you might just want to give the Presso Espresso maker a try.
