The pot that I use and recommend to brew espresso is this Biraletti Italian Espresso Pot that my mother and nonna also used in their kitchens.
I still use the espresso pots that were passed down to me from my mom.
And these are the BEST Italian Espresso Coffee Beans that my family in Italy enjoys. And they are very particular!

All of these look absolutely wonderful! I don’t know where to start. The parfait and the biscotti really caught my eye. If I really wanted a kick of espresso I guess I could serve them together. 🙂
I’m the same way with recipe round-ups MJ . . . where to start! I’ve got to make some of those that I found and shared from other bloggers. There’s sure a lot of great cooking talent in the blogosphere!
