Addiction in Review
I finally have time to do a review on my new espresso machine. 2 thumbs up!I got my machine about 3 weeks ago and have been putting it through its paces. I average about 2 lattes a day now. I am trying to cut my afternoon one as I do not want to be dependent on caffiene to be functional.
I do not have an espresso cup, so I am using one of the many shot glasses we have but have not used since we were urban and childless.
The Solis Crema SL90 is so easy to use, my husband jokes that I can be the neighborhood barista. I pop in a pod, heat up the machine, heat up the steamer, froth my milk (which I am pretty good at now), make my espresso, dump both into a big cup and BAM I have a latte that blows 4 buck Bucks out of the water.
Now as for the coffee pods. My favorite is Lucaffe and Illy. Now, I don't know if I was predisposed to Illy because I already knew them, but regardless, I enjoy them. I had intended to take copius notes, but I don't know enough to discern why I like what I do, or don't. So I gave up. I just toss the wrappers of the ones I don't like. Besides, when you dump a bunch of milk in with the espresso, they all taste the same.
