Reply #138: Lots of latte's at our house! [View All]

H2S has two -- TWO -- fancy automatic espresso makers (following about seven non-automatic ones he didn't like for one reason or another). One broke down and the repair took too long (he was calling them twice a day!) and he broke down and bought a second one! So now we have one in our kitchen, and one down here in our office area.

He does the whole steamed milk thing for breakfast, and drinks straight espresso at night.

I do something really weird: espresso with evaporated milk in it. I love it! I'm sure it'd be very fashionable if there were some fancy name for it! (If I could get the kind of milk/cream they use in Spain and Italy, I'd give up the evap -- but there doesn't seem to be anything like it here.)

So yeah, we're into coffee. But I drive a '96 Honda, fwiw. (And H2S "goes to work" -- in his home office -- in t-shirts with holes and paint stains -- don't get me started on that!)

(Edited to add: I don't eat meat, but I DO eat fish -- just never liked meat! H2S is a carnivore, though.)
