TweetI own a Gaggia espresso machine and use Lavazza Super Crema espresso whole beans. The beans and espresso maker produce a natural crema -- best coffee on Earth! The only thing I add is a small amount of extra virgin coconut oil and a little heavy whipping cream -- AMAZING! Although, occasionally, I do put in some grass-fed butter too.

The machine and coffee are from Italy. The machine runs around $1000-1500 but well worth the cost. The coffee is only $20-24 per 2 pound bag. In the long term, it's cheaper than buying coffee regularly at StarBucks or any other franchise coffee shop. As for the extra virgin coconut oil and heavy whipping cream -- no competition! I always have a surplus supply of both so I never run out!

It's pricey but worth every nickle. Sometime, you can find refurbished machines for $800-$900. The difference in the quality of coffee is night and day compared to Starbucks, etc... Now, the only time I go to Starbucks is when I'm traveling.

when i travel i grind my own and use the hotel coffee pot to brew it. quality beans make a huge difference. I LOVE COFFEE. no flavored creamers or sugar. just me and my black coffee. sometimes i add a little milk but want to try coconut oil. i hear its good for you and gives coffee a pleasurable mouth feel and palate texture as well as complement the flavor. I buy grade 1 sumatran coffee beans used to roast them myself but it was a chore and i was inconsistent.
