I have been trying to figure out a way to get coffee shop espresso without buying the 200 dollar machine (that's the cheaper of them) and I found this wonderful alternative that I have to share with my coffee loving friends. I went to a specialty kitchen store and found this Bialetti Moka Express (the first one you see on the top left).

It is so easy and inexpensive AND the espresso it makes is UNBELIEVABLE and I have to say I am a huge coffee snob...especially after being spoiled in Bend by the amazing coffee shops:) I bought the medium sized one and it made 3 lattes. It's so easy and super fast and it cooks right on your stove.
I then took soy milk because I am a huge fan of Silk Vanilla Soy Milk and used another gadget I bought that takes your milk and in seconds in turns it into frothy yumminess. This gadget is called Bonjour milk frother. I purchase the rechargable one and paid a little more but you can get these cheap too!!

So...if you are looking for an amazing latte at home this is it!!
Love,
