I have a love / hate relationship with coffee. I love my coffee I love my coffee with milk, cappuccino, espresso and mocha. At this time of year I especially love my Frappuccino. I hate having to go out and look for it and pay cafeteria prices. I love my DeLonghi espresso machine because it allows me to make all my favorite coffee drinks at home and enjoy myself at an affordable price.
It’s a hard working, heavy duty live espresso machine that I can easily use to make my own espresso in my own kitchen. It is a 15 bar pump espresso machine with a durable stainless steel boiler and 2 thermostats for separate control of water and steam pressure. So each mug comes out exactly the way you want it!
Wouldn’t you enjoy making your favorite fancy coffee drinks at home when you want them instead of buying one on the way home or having to take a special trip? Wouldn’t you rather be able to make them the way you like them? Maybe a little more chocolate, maybe a little less sugar. I know what I do. I love being able to have my hot latte in the morning while I get ready in the morning instead of waiting until I leave the house.
Here are a couple of Frappuccino recipes to try with your DeLonghi espresso machine to enjoy iced coffee at home. See if you don’t like them even more than the expensive ones you buy from the cafeteria.
Now about that cute barista. Sorry, you’re alone with that!
