Afternoon Sip and Savor with Nespresso VertuoLine
Everyday around 3 o'clock, it seems like the world slows down just a bit. Perhaps a little too much. Solution? Coffee. Obviously. But not just any coffee. A Nespresso maple cinnamon coffee with a few chocolate covered almonds and maybe a handful of sea salt popcorn. Something so good, that it instantly reenergizes you so the mountain of a to-do list you've been staring at starts to look like a cinch.
For our afternoon Nespresso VertuoLine moment we used our favorite color machine - the black beauty - to craft two of our most scrumptious recipes: a classic cappuccino and that maple cinnamon coffee we were just gushing about. Using the Aeroccino+ to froth our milk, we made straight from the café tasting beverages, that were so quick, simple and completely delicious - well, it's sort of like we cheated. We brought in a bit of sunshine with some fresh cut garden flowers, a sparkly new notebook and a few yummy snacks for a much needed pick-me-up.
Taking an afternoon time-out to craft a moment like this might sound excessive. But guess what? It's so worth it. With mere minutes of your time - seconds if you're simply brewing a delicious afternoon cappuccino and ditching the flowers - you get this little respite from all of the chaos. It's a 3pm Nespresso VertuoLine break to recharge, regroup and tackle the rest of your day with all out gusto.
