Nothing like fresh beans!  I’m going to be training this week on the espresso machine at Pesto’s Cafe in Elizabethtown, Ky.  So, I ordered a five pound bag of espresso beans for the training, leaving plenty around to enjoy at the office.

espressoPart of the reason I’m so “excited” about these beans is because we had run out of espresso at the office, and before that we were finishing off some seriously old, dried out beans!  But, there’s nothing like it … dialing in the grind just right, the perfectly even tamp, Ms. Gloria doing her thing, allowing just the right amount of water to hit the grounds, and the result is a silky smooth espresso shot!

It’s the little pleasures in life …!
