Espresso

Most of you know that I've been known to drink a little coffee. But what I really like is espresso. I've been saving some money out of any honorarium I've received so that someday I can buy a quality espresso machine. But in the meantime, I think I have a cheap solution.

I was a bit skeptical as this coffee press is made by a company that makes frisbees and boomerangs. But after two weeks of use, I have gotten the hang of it. I can make acceptable espresso at home without much effort. Check it out here.

The most important factor that I have found in getting good results from this press that the coffee needs to be ground to almost a powder. But the best thing is that it is easy to clean.

While I'm obsessing about coffee, allow me to tell you about the gourmet coffee that they serve here in Tatabanya's only coffee shop. It has a shot of espresso, dark chocolate syrup and spicy ground black pepper! It's awesome. Try it at home, or if you're in Ft. Wayne, go to Old Crown and ask for it from Patrick.
