National Coffee Day was September 29th and my social media feeds were flooded with awesome coffee photos from you all. I was inspired by IMUSA to create a cappuccino of my own and just had to share it on my Instagram page.

I received a coffee maker courtesy of IMUSA to facilitate my review. Any opinion expressed in this article is based on my experience with the product.
The coffee machine used in my video was the IMUSA Bistro 4-cup Espresso Maker. With this machine you have the option of doing an espresso or cappuccino in just minutes. I’ve never (I know) used an espresso maker before so I was so nervous to try it out for the first time. The instructions, looking back, were confusing at first but totally made sense once I got started. The instruction booklet even came with recipes like the almond-vanilla cappuccino which was absolutely delicious.
The machine is petite and doesn’t take up too much room on the kitchen counter. The sleek silver details look really nice go well with my farmhouse kitchen decor. The image of the machine shows a super cute mini milk pitcher under the milk frother but this unit doesn’t actually come with that pitcher. It does come with a glass carafe with a lid and pouring spout, though.
The first couple of uses with this machine were messy experiences for me. Luckily, the machine components are really easy to clean and/or wipe down. This is definitely a great little machine for a great price (from my favorite store, Target).

We usually make our own at home, but go out for coffee maybe twice a month to Starbucks or a local coffee shop!
I usually get a coffee drink from Starbucks.

I have a cup of coffee from home almost every day, occasionally I like to go to the local mom and pop coffee shop to get a coffee!
it is a little of both, we make some at home in the Keurig and also get some Dunkin Donuts or Tim Hortons.
We make our coffee at home. Otherwise it's too expensive. Thanks for the honest review. kristiedonelson(at)gmail(dot)com Thank you.
I stop a Panera twice a week. I think this machine would make just as fancy coffee and I'd love to make it at home daily.
We make it at home but don't have a fancy expresso maker. We love to stop every so often and get one. Everyone in our house loves espressos!
I make coffee at home always, when out and about I will sometimes stop by Starbucks or Panera Bread and grab it.
I'm not a coffee drinker but my daughter is and as a college student she doesn't make much money.
I usually make it at home sometimes I go to Starbucks but not very often it's just to expensive to do that everyday
I usually make it at home
I am so rushed in the Mornings I rather make it at home!
I so a bit of both but generally try to make my coffee at home.
I usually just make my coffee at home. I do love Starbucks though. 🙂
I typically make my coffee at home because it is cheaper but if/when I have the spare money I do love to indulge in a cup of out of the house coffee and other coffee beverages.
I do both. I start my morning with coffee made at home and several times a week I will also purchase coffee for a mid-morning pick-me-up
I usually make coffee at home but sometimes buy Starbucks for my nieces 🙂
Thank You for the chance
