The espresso machinewakes up louder than me;
with a shudder, the boiler
warms water, steam pops
the filter, a low-pitched whine,
and coffee streams with a hiss
into waiting white cups.
Work finished,
the lights blink off
into daytime slumber.
Peace...
OK, all I can say is, YOU'VE GOT AN ESPRESSO MACHINE???

Mmm, now that's a good start (and I love those first two lines)
ReplyDeleteEvery now and then we should treat ourselves to something special. I have wanted a real espresso maching for over a decade. I purchased this machine (Saeco Via Venezia) for myself over Christmas. I am still learning it, but my morning Americano (two shots LaVazza espresso + 2 shots steamed water, 1 Splenda, and a dash of fat-free half-n-half) -- delicioso. Peace...
