I have been drinking coffee for 35 years. One of my favorite things when traveling to Europe is their coffee. It is much more rich than in the USA. I like Starbucks but not the prices. I have had multiple Keurig machines but it makes weak coffee. The best coffee I have made is with my Nespresso machine. It is rich and tasty. Many different pod options for a wide variety of coffee including pods design to make specialty coffee. The machine can even comes with a separate easy to use frother!

Long Island, NY is the hub of the best diners and there are an abundance of them in every LI town! My husband and I are proud diner enthusiasts.
