I have a confession to make. I am a bit of a kitchen gadget whore! A few years ago I would have lusted over the latest Miu Miu or Marc Jacobs handbag, or spent my last £5 on a copy of Elle magazine. Then with the onslaught of my 30's came sensible flat shoes and copies of Good Food magazine.
I've rambled on before about how much I love my Ina, my Kitchenaid - quite possibly the most beautiful thing I own in the kitchen other than Maud, the old, battered ceramic chicken, who was left in our care by the previous owners of our house and I can't bear to throw away.
Lovely Maud
The newest addition to the kitchen is our new Nespresso CiTiz machine. Yes, I have succumbed to a very pretentious pod coffee machine, but I absolutely love it. there are a number of pod machines out there on the market but the Nespresso pods are considered to be the best. I'm not a massive coffee expert, all I know is that I like mine dark, short and strong!
The pods are only available online / mail order through the "Nespresso Club" and there are a range of coffees to suit your taste. I am quite a lazy person by nature so to be able to stick a pod in the machine and press a button is brilliant for me.
However, aside from the ease and convenience, it's also very very pretty! Not that I'm shallow of course... I think the only disadvantage is that my intake of coffee has increased dramatically.
I think I need to curb my purchasing habit for a while, but I did see a lovely pasta attachment for Ina...
