My husband for my birthday bought me a Nespresso Coffee Capsule machine. It is sooooo easy to use, my teenage sons love to use it as well. It came as a package deal from Harvey Norman with the Aerocino frother, and a bunch of coffee capsule tasters.
I used to have a very expensive coffee shop addiction - I would want to go to the coffee shop and stack up on the cappucinos. Not so good for the waistline, not so good for the budget, with all the naughty treats added to the coffee experience as well.
I love having time with my friends for a chat over coffee, so more than ever I say to them now to come on back to my place and have a coffee. They do enjoy it.
I don't usually have treats on hand, because I have teenagers moving in and out of the fridge and pantry constantly, but when I do plan to invite people over, I can quickly duck up to the shop if need be and grab a little something to share. It isn't so bad, because portion wise, it gets shared around more people - better for the wallet and the waistline.
LOL - that is one of my weight loss tips that has worked so well - by all means have a treat, but share it with as many people as physically and humanly possible - which is really easy in a house of three males with large appetites.
My sons love to cook also, and they make themselves the odd treat (with supervision). They also love to eat lots of fresh fruit.
The Nespresso machine is great, but I know Aldi stocks one that is less expensive (Expressi), and I have seen MAP coffee capsule machines on sale at different department stores as well such as Target and Big W. It is well worth looking around. Coffee capsule machines might be more expensive than grinding your own coffee beans, but because the machine is so easy to use, I do bother to use it, and I save by not frequenting the cafe. It is excellent value that way.
