Goodwill Treasure: $6 espresso machine



This little puppy doesn’t look like much, but it is without a doubt the best $6 we ever spent at the Goodwill. We stumbled upon it several years ago when we were just what we like to call “recreational” coffee drinkers. It has since unlocked the genetic trait of coffee addiction that runs deep in both sides of the family. A certain unnamed member of Jeff’s family has cut down from 20+ cups a day, but certain other unnamed members probably drink at least that much to this day. Jeff, though nowhere that extreme, now drinks a latte each morning, and I partake in a decaf latte a few times a week. I could calculate the savings compared to walking down the street to Starbucks and purchasing a latte a day for four years, but I don’t pretend to deceive myself. If not for this little devil, we probably wouldn’t drink coffee at all.

Which reminds me,  Jeff recently unlocked the recipe to a decadent holiday drink:

  • 1/2 cup pumpkin eggnog, steamed

  • 1/2 cup milk, steamed

  • 2 shots of espresso


Look out, Pumpkin Spice Latte!
