Notes

If you don't normally make espresso; I suggest using an instant Espresso. I prefer Medaglia D'Oro Espresso.

You can find it at most grocers; Target had the best price when I checked...but NOT Amazon! All of the online grocers were much pricier.

I have a stovetop espresso maker but thought I would try the instant and it was so good there is no need to make espresso unless you want to!
