Black gold

I've been using one of these espresso makers every morning for years - decades even.

Gives me that caffeine kick that regular coffee doesn't .  Yep.

  1. I can vouch for the stovetops as well plus highly recommend https://www.graffeo.com dark roast coffee - a winning combination for any morning

    1. It's not too late for a pot - if you don't mind staying up till 3am!

  2. I've never tried that type of espresso maker, I had an espresso machine for a few years. Switched to a french press and it makes great strong coffee.

  3. Um, espresso beans being roasted 5 times have some of the caffeine roasted out of them. So the coffee is less caffeinated than American (roasted 3 times) or French (roasted 4 times)

    1. What is the point of coffee without all the caffeine...

  4. Had two cups of espresso laced with Sambuca in Bologna, Italy a few years back. Caused severe palpitations and I almost went to the hospital.
