My 3:00pm caffeine fix: Espresso with a dollop of whipped creme – Espresso con Panna! My routine is even more special with my brand new Bodum Pavina Double Walled Glass. Those are 5 beautiful words which means, “Expensive, breakable, don’t drop me” Just kidding – they weren’t that expensive, about $7 each. They are hand-blown and simply gorgeous. I love using them because a shot of espresso is so teeny tiny and I feel like I really need to savor every little sip. The set I have is the 5oz “tea glass” since I like to leave room for lots and lots of cream! If you love coffee – have some Tiramisu

Summer Fruit Salad with Herb Dressing Recipe
I feel like fruit salad usually goes one of two ways. Either it’s a sad bowl of mushy melons, or it’s the thing people fight over at the BBQ. This one? Oh, it’s definitely the latter. This isn't just chopping up some random fruit and hoping for the best. We're...
I’m really impressed with your writing skills as well as with the layout on your weblog. Is this a paid theme or did you customize it yourself? Anyway keep up the nice quality writing, it is rare to see a great blog like this one nowadays..
Vince- the glass made all the difference….before glass (a time I fondly call B.G.) it was just a pickmeup. Now, its a ritual.
Mmmmm.. that looks delicious… now you made my caffeine craving kick in 🙂 Beautiful glass by the way.. nothing like having an expresso with class.

Cameron -I used whipped cream in a can, which is sweetened. I always keep a can in the fridge – for moments like these when I want my caffeine craving satisfied immediately!
Jaden
Gorgeous shot. And my little caffeine-addicted heart is jumping up and down. Do you sweeten the whipped cream?
Hi Michael – yes, it is a Bodum Pavina glass – very delicate – and my kids know not to touch or I’ll give them a nasty wedgie! 🙂
2 come in a pack, I got it from http://www.laprimashops.com. Lets see how well I do with 2 of them!
I also use the Aeropress – I LOVE IT! Either I use my beautiful Nespresso espresso machine (this shot) or the sturdy Aeropress (when I want an Americano). I’ll have to blog about this on my next post on http://www.Wellfed.net. Thanks for visiting!
mmmm.. I think I’ll have to have one tomorrow as well.
Is that a Bodum Pavina glass? They’re beautiful, but I’m afraid my family will break them.
Also, have you tried an Aeropress? Awesome and cheap alternative if a quality espresso machine & grinder or counter space is not available.
