'spro ftw!

since i have discovered coffee shops years ago, i realized that creamer is just no good for me. in order for me to enjoy a cup of coffee, it has to have milk.

naturally, my fave drink would be a cappuccino, which is an espresso-based drink with steamed milk, frothed milk, and a sprinkle of cinnamon. and then on special occasions (like when i need to feel some extra TLC), i just spice it up with extra hazelnut or mint syrup.

today i tried a different kind of coffee - brewed coffee plus milk. and then i realized, brewed coffee is no good for me either. i have to have espresso! 

ok, quick overview:
brewed/drip coffee - coursely ground coffee beans, hot water, let water drip through coffee.
espresso - finely ground coffee beans, hot water, let water pass through coffee quickly by using pressure, result is concentrated coffee with crema.

brewed coffee is not really bad. i mean, it's still coffee :) the taste between the two is just different - and Spro definitely suits my taste :D
