Best $10 I ever spent

As I no longer work close to civilisation,  I must come up with my own coffee solution. The office coffee is particularly disgusting, so I’ve come up with a way to make it tolerable.

My milk frother.

I use this guy daily to make my own coffee mistos.

I pour myself a cup of coffee with 2 tbsp of sugar free cinnamon dolce syrup.

I put 1/4 milk into a measuring cup and nuke it for about 45 seconds.

I froth it up, and then add it to my ass tasting, horrid, putrid, barfalicious coffee.

The end result, a pretty decent cup of coffee!

I got my frother at Canadian Tire for just $9.99.  I’ve also seen them at Ikea, Walmart and a handful of little kitchen gadget stores.

Best $10 I’ve ever spent!

Work coffee is the worst. :( Have the Starbucks up there gotten the instant Via's yet? They are really good and not what you'd expect when you think "instant".

I have one of those in my cupboards that I was planning on using, but it's been there for probably a year. I don't drink coffee so i was going to attempt some sort of homemade chai latte-ish? Thanks for the reminder of these little nifty things.

Amy - I was wondering how you made the move to self-hosting? What service are you using? I love how your move re-directs automatically, while some bloggers have had to post a link.

Oh, the coffee drinker in me is in lust of your coffee.

I have a frother too, and use it often, but not often enough.

Amy,

Thanks for the post on the "thinga-ma-bobby "whisk thing".. I recently had 2 uber expensive espresso machines break on me and decided I would revert to my French Press Espresso. However, I needed help frothing the milk..

I am going to try to locate this little bugger.. Also, your zuchinni boats look scrumptious..

Happy Blogging,
Ashley
