You obviously don't live in L.A. The guys here want their coffee bought for them...

Normal guys do not make exceptionally-cute women (I saw your home page) buy them coffee. Are you sure you're not dating gay guys who are just caffeine-addicts?

Don't you know, all the guys here in Hollywood are gay! Haha..
Thanks for the compliments....I'll buy you a cup of coffee for that!

Holy moly, I just looked at your picture on your home page, which the hapless Sauron foolishly blabbed about.

Now listen to me. All the men on this thread are gay, ugly, bankrupt or in jail. Ignore them forevermore.

Let me tell you what I will do. My good friend Oscar Robles runs a coffee plantation in the Colombian highlands, where only the finest beans are grown.

I will have him personally select a batch of the very best his campesinos have picked. This will be delivered by air to a small roasting shop in Lombardy, Italy, where they still practice the fine art of making excellent stock even better.

Having received a 10-lb. bag of black gold, I will pack my Swiss-made Jura Classic espresso maker and get on the first flight to L.A. I also carry a set of gold-rimmed espresso and capuccino cups, the obligatory utensils for imbibing the nectar of Moctezuma.

In your kitchen, I will set up the Jura, and freshly grind the beans in the integrated unit while the cups are warmed to the right temperature on top. There are many cheap imitation espresso makers but none come close to a Jura.

The secret is just the right steam pressure. For the thick, foamy layer called "crema", 18 bars of steam pressure are a must. The crema traps the fine aromatics and the light gaseous flavors which register on the palate as a Mozart symphony plays to your ears.

Tap water is of course a no-no. Commercial water filters are fine for brewing tea but I will bring specially bottled water from the Scottish highlands that has just the right balance of minerals.

There. Close your eyes and smell the delicious aroma. Have I told you how charming and attractive you are yet? Yes? Doesn't matter, I'll tell you again.
