A few years ago, my mother in-law bought me an espresso machine, and after putting it to use a couple of times, it has been confined to an obscure kitchen cabinet where it is collecting dust with the rest of my rarely used appliances. For the first time in I don’t know how long, my in-laws are came to visit last week, so I had to do some spelunking to retrieve the coffeemaker and bring it out of retirement. I could tell that my mother in-law was happy to see the machine when she stepped into the kitchen, and for the week they were here, I put it to good use.
In fact, over their stay I rekindled my love for coffee and have yet to put the machine away. It’s so much easier to wake up in the morning when you have a strong shot of espresso waiting for you.
