The Reverse Affogato (aka the best coffee shop espresso at home)
Meet the Reverse Affogato — dark, rich espresso topped with luscious vanilla bean foam. The perfect coffee shop espresso at home. This holiday season has thrown us so many curveballs. First, we spent nearly two full weeks indoors due to the windblown smoke from Northern California’s wildfires.

But these little guys are worth the wait, and I’ma tell you why. They basically cook themselves. Ok, so not in the “one little Totoro stirs the pot while the other climbs in” sense, though that paints an adorably sick picture, but in the “chuck surprisingly few ingredients in a rice cooker and press the little lever thingy” kind … Read More
