OK. Well, the espresso is shockingly good. I didn’t waste my $20. Always a good thing.
On a related note, my sister gave me one of these stovetop espresso makers about a decade ago. Because I am (occasionally) a total fool, I don’t think I ever even took it out of the box. After languishing in our cupboard, I’m pretty sure it ended up at Goodwill.
This brings to mind the time my sister tried to interest me in Matthew Sweet’s “100% Fun” and I couldn’t be bothered. About a decade after that, I heard Death Cab cover “Sick of Myself,” a song from that album. Within the hour, I bought the original Matthew Sweet version off iTunes. Shortly thereafter, I either wrote or called my sister to tell her she was ahead of her time.
Or at least ahead of me.
Again.
