Be Your Own Barista
It used to be that if you wanted a premium cup of coffee you had to scour the city for a coffee shop and be prepared to pay an exorbitant price. As coffee drinking has become ubiquitous in American culture, access to first-rate java has increased as well. Coffeehouses are now situated on virtually every street corner—especially here in Seattle—and you can even find top-of-the-line coffee beans in the supermarket.
Every morning I am presented with a litany of options for getting my caffeine fix, but I’ve found that brewing my own coffee is the way to go. Utilizing the cappuccino makers in my home not only saves me money, but it also cuts down on my commute since I don’t have to wait in a ten-car line at the Starbucks drive-thru. Some people will probably assume that I miss the lavish $4 beverages, but with my state-of-the-art machine, I can create practically any coffee concoction in my home.
