   • When it starts to boil, reduce the heat and let the spices cook for about 5 minutes, so that the flavors get absorbed into the water.
2. Add tea and espresso:
   • When the spices have boiled, add black tea bags to the saucepan.
   • Let the tea steep in the spiced water for 3-5 minutes, or until it reaches your desired strength.
   • Take the saucepan off the heat and discard the tea bags.

Home Espresso Maker

We’ve tried a number of espresso makers over the years, and here are our favorites at various price points and skill levels:

• cafe automatic espresso machine – My current machine. It uses any whole beans, so if you use high-quality beans you will get high-quality espresso. It automatically makes espresso shots (no barista skills required) and includes a milk frothing wand to heat and froth milk. We have used this machine almost every day since we bought it a year and a half ago and we love it! It comes in three colors.
• Stovetop Espresso – This is the most economical way to make espresso at home. It takes more effort and you’ll need to be very particular about how you grind the beans for the best results. But, it’s a classic method that works great when done well.
• Breville Barista Touch – We bought this once for a good friend as a wedding gift and he said he loved it. It’s a high end machine that you’ll need some barista skills to operate, but it’s a great home espresso maker.
• Nespresso Vertuo – This is my favorite for people who want an espresso maker that uses pods. It can make either espresso or coffee, depending on which pod you use.
