***This giveaway is now closed. updated 10/27 at 11 PM EST***
These items are near and dear to my heart. I use them daily to make Cuban Coffee.
One of my lucky readers will receive a three cup (serving size) stove top espresso maker, Pilon Cuban Coffee (espresso), and an eight ounce metal pitcher (for making espumita).
If you do not drink Cuban Coffee, think of all the other drinks and desserts you can make with the espresso maker. Can't think of any? Just ask in a comment or send me an email. I love to hear from my readers.
I recently used espresso to make Tiramisu Ice Cream and Tiramisu Cake. I have even replaced the water with espresso in my chocolate cake to make me extra happy.
If you comment on this post, I would love to know what you would use the espresso for. Are you a coffee drinker? If so, how often do you indulge? Have you ever had Cuban Coffee?

Betty Crapper loves her morning cafe and this she will gladly share.
She does have two stovetop espresso makers after all!
(they darken with age and use)
Thank you so much for stopping by these last few months. If you are new to Betty Crapper, welcome! I look forward to getting to know you too.
What a great giveaway! I drink coffe everyday, twice a day. Espresso...I'd add it to brownies. Love coffee flavored brownies.
ReplyDeleteI already follow! Have never had Cuban coffee.
ReplyDelete(this is my second entry)
Most awesome giveaway ever! I love coffee and drink several cups daily. I've never had cuban coffee though and I'm intrigued! What would I do with it? First I'd make a big cup and drink it, not sure I would "waste" something so special on a dessert ;o)
ReplyDeleteI'm already a follower! :o)
ReplyDeleteI have been following you with Google Reader but I just clicked the Friend connect button, so now I'm doing that too!
ReplyDeleteAlso, for my second entry, I do not drink just plain coffee but I enjoy some here and there in the form of a latte or macchiato-type drink. I would love to be able to make my own, so the stovetop maker would sure come in handy. But I would probably use it more to make espresso to be used in desserts.
ReplyDeleteI've always loved expresso,but I don't know how to make it.
ReplyDeleteI adore a great expresso. I am queenesperfect at yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted an espresso pot on my stove. I love espresso and it looks so cosmopolitan.

ReplyDeleteI don't drink a lot of coffee these days, but I do love the occasional cup of espresso and I like to use coffee and espresso in cooking (did you notice that one of the latest rages is to use ground coffee and cinnamon as a rub when roasting pork?). I've never tried Cuban coffee but I bet it's wonderful.
ReplyDeleteWhat is better than coffee
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Linda Lansford

ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway! I've been looking to get one of these for my boyfriend.
ReplyDeleteI follow via GFC.
ReplyDeleteI didn't start drinking coffee until I was 40! And I haven't tried stovetop coffee yet--looks interesting.
ReplyDeleteBetty Crapper. Really? I love it, you made my day, Betty Crapper! I gave up daily coffee a few months ago. Awesome decision. I've found peace. I now drink coffee about once a week, and when I do, it's a blast. Coffee now feels like a meth hit, or a toke on the crack pipe. I haven't yet done those things, but with my new method of consuming coffee, I no longer feel the urge to.
ReplyDeleteSweet blog and thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteWould love, love, LOVE to win this!

I think I would use the espresso for fancy coffee drinks, like made at home lattes. My husband would be ridiculously excited about the opportunity to drink the espresso black. It'd be an adventure for both of us! Cool giveaway :)

My husband is an avid coffee drinker. He'd most likely be using this. However, I found a pork recipe that uses coffee that was absolutely amazing. I'm thinking it'd be amazing with espresso too. Gotta give it a try. It coulda used a bit of an extra "kick".
