espresso coffee machines, automatic espresso machinesMy friends brew some espresso every afternoon at 4 with their automatic espresso machines. They love espresso and coffee in general. When they travel, which they do extensively, they bring their espresso coffee machines with them. Fortunately, it doesn't take up much space in the trunk and it is lightweight. Sometimes it is hard to find gifts for friends or family members, but not so with this couple. All I need to do is bring along a nice bag of gourmet espresso beans for them, and they are so appreciative. They order their beans online and once in a while they run out between deliveries. When I bring them several bags of the beans from my sources, they toss them in the freezer and use them when they want a taste treat or they run out of their supply. I also like to give them new esperesso cups. There are stores online that sell the espresso coffee machines that also have a nice selection of the cups. Some of them are really cool. I even have kept some that I've bought for myself because they are so attractive and I can serve them espresso when they visit here.
