Calling all espresso lovers...

My coffee dreams came true yesterday! I feel I must share my good fortune. Apparently Starbucks is doing away with their Barista home espresso machines. I saw it a few days ago advertised for $199. Wow...that is $250 off the original retail price. I went back yesterday to purchase one (after much consideration on mine and Matt's part) only to discover they were reduced again to $99. Folks, I am not kidding. I got this $450 espresso machine for $69 (ok, I got extra money off because it was the demo machine for the store). I have wanted one of these machines for a long time but could never justify the cost. I have thanked Jesus a few times in the last 24 hours for his generosity and lavishness. He finally said yes. So I am telling you all this so you can rush out to your local Starbucks and ask them if their machines have been reduced and if they have any left (stores may vary by region). Good luck.

Oh, and let me know if any of you score one!

Alina--how wonderful!!!! I knew you mentioned wanting one and was seriously considering buying one when you got a generous Target gift card at your baby shower. (You were thinking a new stressed out mom could probably need one after the baby was born). I asked Matt a couple of weeks ago if you ever got one and he said no. I knew the practical side of you probably won out, but who could resist one at that fab price. Good for you !!!! Mama K
