Admittedly, I used to be one of those people who thought that you had to pay $4 for a decent tasting cup of coffee. This belief was cultivated in part by the ubiquity of pricey coffeehouses and partially from the fact that I have an extreme disdain for any task in the kitchen. However, for my birthday this year my husband purchased me a Solis espresso machine, so naturally I felt obligated to use it.
At first, I planned on using the machine for a few weeks and then relegating it to the area underneath the sink to join the ranks of other superfluous kitchen appliances we’ve purchased in the past. After using the machine a few times though, I absolutely fell in love with it. With no effort, I was able to create delicious coffee beverages and eliminate my ritualistic trip to the coffee shop on my way to work.
