So, although I may not be a fan of drinking coffee, I am definitely a fan of baking with it. As I have said before, my husband is a huge coffee fan, in any shape or form, and he has recently been hinting about the rather fabulous looking Nespresso machine. I know he would love one for Christmas, and I wouldn’t mind too much either – it would look fabulous in my kitchen, and I do love the smell of freshly brewed coffee. I have discovered these fabulous Nespresso compatible pods from Caffe Cagliari, which I will definitely stock up on, so that when he gets his longed for Nespresso machine, he is good to go right away!
