I've heard people raving about AeroPress for their espresso. Really simple method that just uses handheld pressure to pull the drink. The only thing keeping me from buying one is that it's made from plastic and some reviewers are reporting melting over time.

It is getting easier. I was about to box it back up and figured most of it out. It has a frother. I burnt my hand first time. I just cant get much froth. Its a pain, but the cappuccino is good.
I got it because me and the grandson got hooked on cappuccinos from the market while basketball was going on and I was spending too much $$$ plus they were not sugar free.

CSD, here's a link with the major crowdfunding sites and relevant fee data for quick reference. gofundme seems to be the best one for personal fundraising, but I can't remember if they let you specify limited prizes (ie. the first three people who donate $75 to you get one of three available bags you have, or if you would have to provide everyone who donated $75 with a bag, whether it was 3 people or 10 people).

Mr. CSD and I have actually discussed this at length like we do everything else and it just isn't sitting well with either of us completely.
We are both from the "work for everything you need" era of those who raised us but we would be most happy to donate to a good cause without issue.

Yikes, I hope it doesn't hurt you again! I'm thinking about picking up one of those handheld milk frothers if they go on sale. The standalone ones that hold several cups are priced way more than you would think a milk warmer would be.

Yeah, I understand that. Crowdfunding is a strange thing coming out of this generation. It's fantastic for creative/business ventures and independent industrial designers or emergency medical funds, but the personal listings are sometimes abused.

glen, we have plenty of medical debt right now from Mr. CSD's broken arm and we have more coming with the next surgery he needs but that isn't the point you know?
It is just so hard to articulate in writing at times.

I added the photo to the completed quilts album on my profile here it was supposed to be a baby quilt however, the gal that used to work for me part time has requested this particular quilt so it is now "Big E's Cancer Quilt".
She has double mastectomy on Thursday, 10 years after her first round of breast cancer.
