A Cup of Espresso

After dinner or after lunch, a cup of espresso is often the best way to end the meal. We have a regular manual espresso maker which makes a good cup. We prefer to serve it with a cube of sugar and a bit of lemon peel to squeeze into the inky dark coffee.

We also have a couple of sets of china demitasse or espresso cups to pour the coffee in. And wee spoons to stir the sugar into the coffee.
The very best way to end a luncheon -- with a cup of hot espresso. Whether it is for one. . .

or four!
