corner view - vending machines




it's not really a vending machine, but it's awesome. and i have not been anywhere close to anything remotely vending-ish lately, but at least it's a machine. in fact it's a super cool espresso machine, and we only got it yesterday, so my hands are still in the air.

after the spring clean (and it was a serious one, where i - after i had sorted everything and removed everything - hired two women to help me clean the house a whole day). we decided to spoil ourselves and our extremely clean kitchen (my cleaning assistants spent 3 (!!!) hours in the kitchen) with this beauty. yup, now we drink grown-up coffee around here. not that i feel so grown up about it. actually i'm more like a kid with a new toy, finding excuses to make coffee, thus drinking way too much already this morning, just so i can use it, and especially that steamer. it's so cool.

oh, and btw, i must share with you that coffee is not the only amazing drink we spoil ourselves with these days: D found a wild passion fruit tree in the hood, and we have been making fresh passion fruit juice. with crushed ice i think it might be the best drink. ever.


i still have a lot of catching up to do in blog world, but you just go ahead and check out the corner views of the week via jane of spain daily. i'll be there soon too.

  8. That coffeemaker was already an envy trigger but to have wild passion fruit in ´the hood´? If there would be one kind of fruit they could wake me up for...that would be it. So so jealous right now! ;) You are one lucky gal!

  9. Oh that's a beautiful machine Trinsch! I can see why you want to use it like a toy :^)

    I wish I was as disciplined as you when it comes to spring cleaning - I am dragging my heals - still not even half way through!

  10. I love passionfruit juice. I sweeten mine with agave nectar. I had to get rid of my vine because it got some kind of bug. Now you are reminding me that I should plant another and take the bug risk. Happy clean house :)
