Who doesn't love coffee?

So about a year ago, Jay and I were walking through Costco {it's always a dangerous thing} and we stumbled on this beautiful espresso machine. I had seen this very machine at Starbucks selling for $1200! You heard me TWELVE HUNDRED BIG ONES! I had always envied it's sleek look, detailed buttons, the metallic finish, and of course that brand with the magnificent name MAGNIFICA. It all seemed to call my name but the $1200 price tag was like financial suicide. I tried justifying it in my head, running the numbers to see how many years it would take to pay off in less bought coffee's. But at the end of my calculations I would walk away and hang my head low {ok that's a little bit dramatic but it paints a good picture}.

So anywhooo back to Costco. I looked at Jay and squeeled with delight "Do you know what this is?" He looked and me and said "Ahhh, a coffee machine." "NOOO it's not JUST a coffee machine, it's THE coffee machine. The one I have wanted." He looked at me again with a blank stare. Keeping up with my wish list is tough but one thing I know for sure is that Jay loves coffee. So with that he was hooked. As we began to look it over we couldn't resist the urge to buy it, but that price tag? Well you will be happy to know that at Costco it was farrrr less! It was even on sale! {yes Costco does that, look at the tag and if you see a * in the corner it means it is being discontinued and they have lowered the price, you can thank me for that later} We talked, pondered, calculated and came to the conclusion - WE MUST HAVE THIS!

While the price we paid was a fraction of what it was selling for at Starbucks, it was still a chunk. But I am happy to tell you that it has definitely paid for itself. And I have this lovely little thing in my kitchen. Where it graces my counter with it's sleek design. We have added a vast array of flavorings and I can probably make you anything your heart desires. So if you're ever in my neighborhood, pop in and let me make you a coffee {I even have paper to go cups}

Now who doesn't love that?
