How to Make Espresso at Home

Ever since our fantastic trip to Italy, we’ve been hard-core espresso fans. So, rather than visit a coffee shop every day, we make espresso at home.

We started off with a manual espresso maker, which required physically packing the puck with ground coffee. Now, I can probably manage to do this, but having dystonia makes it hard to grasp things with my left hand. So, it was kind of relief to me easier for both of us when we upgraded to the Saeco Aroma machine.

We start off every morning with cappuccino. In the afternoon, we have double shots of espresso. Actually, I have a double shot of espresso and more espresso with Half-N-Half. We call it the White Russian espresso (or the Caucasian–if you’re familiar with The Big Lebowski).

The Dude with a Causasian! 🙂

It’s a delicious drink! Here’s how to make it.

Caucasian Espresso

Heat cappuccino mug in microwave.
Fill about one-third with Half-N-Half.
Heat again for about 20 seconds in microwave.
Make espresso directly into the warm Half-N-Half.
Add sugar to taste. Stir and enjoy!

The result will look like this!

Today’s Caucasian espresso!

We’ve actually invested in an even easier type of espresso machine: the Saeco Royal One Touch Cappuccino Automatic Espresso Machine!

Here’s a photo:

Our cappuccino/espresso machine! 🙂

Here’s a video I found about how to make espresso at home on your stovetop.

Meet Debbi

Welcome to my writers' corner of the Internet. I'm a novelist, who also writes short stories and screenplays. I hope to share the benefit of my experiences as an indie author with dystonia since 2009. I also post a lot of book reviews, because I love to read and learn new things. I hope to share that knowledge with you.
