It’s been nearly five months since I’ve enjoyed a steamy soy latte — and boy, will the baby need to give me plenty of coffee IOUs when he’s born! In the meantime, will you visually join me for a virtual cup of coffee?
Yes, my cravings for coffee are so powerful that I’ve been creating “steaming” cups of paper sprinkled with coffee grounds in vintage Italian cappuccino mugs. The sad part is that I am only half kidding!
The empty coffee canister seems so naked…but thankfully, he is accessorized with retro type!
I promise I won’t even plug in my espresso maker! (Thank goodness for Italian stove-top ingenuity!)
Thankfully, I can still enjoy an occasional cup of green or white tea. I’ve also grown partial to Roobios, as it is delicious and naturally caffeine-free. (P.S. If you happen to spot the above mid-century modern tea set I prop sourced to Mad Men for the new season, please let me know! I sadly don’t watch the show, as we don’t have a TV in our house.)
What is your favorite indulgence beverage? May you enjoy one or several this weekend!

My favorite is the cup of cappuccino. The paper steam actually looked real for just a second!

Oh my gosh, Roobius is the best! And it is super for your immune system! I just found a chai roobius by Yogi Tea, and it is DELICIOUS!

Nice site! I do enjoy my coffee. I’ve never seen one of those “Vintage Italian Stovetop Cappuccino Makers” can you tell me more about it? All the Best. -Wayne

Dear Grace,
I have not been a good friend…and owe you a big cup of joe. I have one of those Italian steamers, so come on over and I’ll steam you some warm milk and honey like I used to get at Cafe Roma in Berkeley. That was when I took a break from the caffeine rush.
I also owe you a personal note…I’ve been neglectful and miss you! You will hear from me soon, my dear friend.
Ciao bella,
Suzanne

I enjoyed an occasional coffee from starbucks or a pepsi at the movies while pregnant and all was well. Maybe you could get one with a half- caf shot?
I love the wooden shelves behind that cool retro coffee canister.
