Inspired by all my mom's thrifted finds, Aaron and I stopped at a few yardsales this weekend. My big win was this Zanzibar Italian expresso maker. It was marked $5 but since the lady had no idea how to use it she gave it to me for 25¢.

It is a "Vesuvio" brewer and I found out online how to use it.

    We've got one of them - the best coffee ever !
    (I'm not really fond of coffee right now though, being 7 months pregnant)

    Been reading your blog for ages now, don't think I've ever made a comment before though ...

    Hi ! I'm Trine from Denmark, thanks for sharing all your great stuff and funny ideas :-)

    I have one of those as well. I brought it back with me from my stay in Spain, so in my family it's called a 'cafetera'.

    Now I stop at every little coffee roaster to buy the house speciality, which makes for good coffee variety on Sunday mornings.

    Enjoy!

    And a fun link to follow Latte Art Barista Championship.

    They're very common in spain too, we have a big one (6 cups) and a small one for one cup only... we use the small one daily for morning coffee and in my oppinion it's the best way to prepare a good coffee!! :)

    You will love using it. My Italian husband inherited his from his grandfather and it works so much better than the new one he received a few years ago.
