If you like coffee recipes, then you might like Starbuck’s since their coffee is just awesome. Not only do I love the beverage, but where else can you sit for hours at a time and socialize/work? In fact, I’m writing this on my trusty laptop in my favorite Starbucks’ location. Yee-ha!
But there’s no doubt that Starbucks coffee is E-X-P-E-N-S-I-V-E! It’s much cheaper to invest in your own cappuccino maker so you can make delicious coffee recipes over and over again – at an affordable price. This is the Delonghi that I have in my kitchen.
