📸 Meet the Royal Espresso Machine! While some espresso machines can fetch prices north of $30,000, this beauty from Italy has been our faithful companion for nearly a decade and only set us back $2,000. Quite the steal, considering its performance!

Now, a little secret - I lucked out with this purchase. 🍀 Recent models from the same line faced production issues, leading to an unreliable reputation for the brand. But I'm happy to have one from a batch that predates those problems.

Nestled on the machine is our latest espresso bean guest: Indo Noir! 🖤 An Indonesian-based coffee delight. Over the next couple weeks, our team and community will be savoring these beans thanks to our amazing partners . Exploring world flavors through espresso has always been a passion of mine.

Want to join on this flavor journey? 🌎☕️ Keep those tastebuds alert, and let's see how this Indonesian varietal stacks up against our next introduction!
