espresso coffee machinesI like espresso coffee. Consequently I own an espresso coffee machine and every now and again I make myself a cup. When the one I have got stops working, I’ll look at other espresso coffee machines before deciding on a new one. Nevertheless I don’t drink espresso every day. I think my attitude is a healthy one. My father, on the other hand, tends to take things to extremes. I sometimes wonder what he would do if espresso coffee machines had not been invented. My father has owned espresso coffee machines for as long as I can remember. He first became a fan of espresso coffee on a vacation to Spain. When he comes to the United Sates to visit me, he offers to make espresso coffee every morning. If I didn’t own an espresso machine I think he‘d go to Starbucks every day instead. When we went on a short trip to Lisbon together last February, he would only stop at cafes with espresso coffee machines. It seems that espresso coffee is my father’s very favorite beverage. Still, espresso coffee machines aren’t the only thing my dad is obsessed with. He is equally as passionate about music and ice cream.
