A Great Gift

I asked Santa for an espresso maker, and man o man did he come through. This baby is the BOMB. Steam frother, pressure gauge, cup rack on top. . . and it's this cool retro red. Almost matches my retro kitchen counter. Product details here.

What was your favorite Christmas gift?

That looks very fun. Kind of dangerous, too.

My favorite actual Christmas gift was a Kindle reader. Something I've always wanted but was hesitant to buy for myself...something seems all wrong with reading books without pages to turn. I'm still trying to decide if I'll ever read a full book on it. It IS fun to play with. Espresso makers are wonderful! I've got one sitting in my attic (hmmmmm....I wonder why? probably found it was too much trouble to clean it out after making cappuccino) but I'm going to bring it back down and give it another try. I do love my foamy coffee.

I got a Kindle last year and love it, especially for traveling. I had to laugh though- my husband bought it for me, and all the books on my Amazon wishlist. . . in hardback.

Looking at your photo and fabulous Christmas gift reminds me that foaming drinks are usually always superior to non-foaming ones, don't you think? I try to whip up some ersatz foam in my microwave-brewed chai lattes.

Anne-- I've seen some foaming wands that looked like they might do the trick.
