P.S. ~ I'm vacillating about what to do here. I'm currently spending somewhere between $25 and $30 a month on coffee and closer to $40 during the harsh winter months. I know that's not a great habit but don't judge. Anyhow, Starbucks is currently having their annual Home Brewing Sale and I am seriously considering buying my own espresso machine for next year. Starbucks even gives thorough in-store demonstrations on how to use the equipment and make your favorite Starbucks drinks (Almond nonfat latte! Nonfat peppermint mocha!). I definitely wouldn't buy one from Starbucks ($399--I don't think so), but even if I do buy a cheaper one and then have to buy the espresso and the milk and the flavored syrups, I can't figure out if it's worth it. What do you think?
