easy cappuccino the italian way

do it Neapolitan style!

Making a cappuccino is my incentive 

to get myself out of bed every morning 

and start my day.  

It's so easy with a stove-top espresso maker, 

like the Neapolitan flip-drip style aka 

macchinetta napoletana, shown above and below. 

It's the same style my Nonna 
used when I was growing up.  

The aroma of the espresso fills the air, 

and I'm transported back to her 
kitchen in Campobasso.  

All you need to do is froth your 

warm non-fat milk or soy, 

and you have instant gratification!  

My favorite coffees are 

Trader Joe's 
Organic Five Country Blend Espresso 

or Illy Medium Roast.  

Another option is the standard 

Bialetti Moka Espresso maker, 

also for your stove-top.  

They both make excellent coffee, 

and they come in lots 
of different sizes.  

You won't be disappointed!  

These are usually available at 
Williams-Sonoma, 

Sur La Table,  or Amazon.

Need a little sweet to 
go with your cappuccino?  

Have you tried Nonni's Biscotti.  

They come in lots of flavors, 

but cioccolati is my favorite.  

It's a crisp almond biscotti, 

that's simply dipped in rich chocolate.  

It's perfect way I start my day everyday!
