I have a very serious love for a good latte, which makes my current coffee setup… slightly embarrassing.

I’ve been eyeing the Breville Express Impress in olive tapenade for months (because she’s stunning). But when we stopped by the Crate & Barrel President’s Day sale “just to look,” the sales associate basically convinced me I needed the upgraded one if I didn’t want to struggle dialing in the perfect shot.

So now I’m torn - it’s SUCH a splurge and truly unnecessary (Pro tip, though: sales associates can look up the next sale date — so we’d wait for a bigger drop). But I also so want the slow, calm, cafe-morning vibe before the chaos of the work day.

Also… imagine pairing it with the Ninja Creami. High-protein affogatos? The flavor options are endless!

Which brings me to today’s recipe — mint chip (my childhood fave), but made incredibly fresh with real mint leaves. It's straight up addicting, nostalgic, delicious… and still packs 57g of protein per pint.

Anyway, please talk me out of an espresso machine (or tell me why it’s your favorite purchase ever).
