As I attempted to pull my brain out of the fog this morning, my thoughts turned to the benefits of very. good. coffee. Admittedly, I've been as much a tea as java girl these days, but today, my visions turn to The Ultimate Cup.When we moved to North Carolina, and before I started studying for the Bar Exam, I worked as a fledgling barrista at Muddy Waters Coffeehouse in Elizabeth City. What a truly amazing experience - I will never look at (or smell, or taste) coffee the same way - once you go great...well, you know... ;)
Funny, too, how we (hubby and I) have grown to really enjoy simple espresso rather than lingering over a mug of coffee - I guess when in Rome - or, rather, Brazil... We recently had an after-dinner shot that I swear was made from some sort of ambrosia fruit - the flavor was simply melodic.
So, in my attempts to connect this java reverie to design...I think either of these wishlist-quality espresso machines might hit the spot...at least my Kitchen Gadget Junkie one for sure!

WS Elektra Espresso Machine Do you remember the Sopranos episode when Carmela received one of these? Total scene stealer!

Happy Monday!
I'm a decorator, wife, and busy mom of three. I believe in elevating the average space, and bridging the great design divide. I love homes, and aspire beyond builder-grade blah. This blog chronicles our own home projects, what inspires me, and sometimes, just what's on my design-track mind. Taking ordinary homes to higher levels is my little happy place.

I absolutely love this dining room!!! Thanks for sharing.
I will be getting married in August. The first present that I gave to my fiancee eight years ago was the Amelia Espresso Cup and Saucer. I was hoping to get a set for her as a wedding present. I saw your post and was wondering if you had any in possession. Would you consider selling them to me?
Thanks so much!
Aiden
