Look out, Starbucks!
Unfortunately, I have developed a taste for specialty coffee drinks lately. The thing that makes it unfortunate is the cost of the product . But recently, my wife Eleanor took a small gamble that may greatly reduce the cost of my coffee habit. The unlikely source was IKEA!
Eleanor bought a $4, battery-powered milk foamer from IKEA - mostly on a lark. But it turns out that this thing really works. This thing takes regular milke and produces frothed milk that looks and tastes like steamed milk! The only difference is that it doesn’t heat it up. (I can live with that.)
Now we can put espresso coffee in the drip coffee maker, foam our own milk, and have cappuccinos for next to nothing. And the little milk foamer only cost a few cents more than a “Venti Mocha” at Starbucks!

I found one of those $4 gems at IKEA recently, too. And then I went back and bought one for work. My mornings have never been the same!
