Nespresso coffee & "Little Christmas Eve"

Over the weekend we popped in to the Nespresso shop in the basement of Selfridges, to top up our coffee capsules, as the java consumption will no doubt increase during the holidays. I bought 20 sleeves (each containing 15 capsules) of my fave Lungo flavours, the colour blue and orange. I also branched out and got the new flavours vanilla and chocolate.  

I am eager to try out the "Vanilio" in a home made Espresso Martini, and the "Ciocattino" - well it's got to be a hit, as I have always loved mochas, and the combo of coffee and chocolate :-)

PS see how our Christmas tree is "shrinking" as the pile of pressies grows larger each day!

Today is known as "lillejulafton" - Sweden's Little Christmas Eve - and I've got a maximum of 17 more days of being pregnant!

Nespresso - a love affair

Bear and I decided on getting a new, smaller and neater Nespresso machine, and in white this time.  So we walked over to the Nespresso shop in Selfridges last weekend, to see which one suited our needs. 

Whilst there, we discovered these hand blown, double walled, clear glass coffee cups in 'Lungo" (Italian for "long") size, which is the only size we drink. They are really the ultimate accessory to the ultimate drinking experience! 

This is certainly the most exquisite coffee cup I've ever come across :-)
