The only time I drink one of these is in Paris and most often with Peter, a world class espresso drinker! Maybe it's the pretty cup ( not cardboard) or the little sweet that always comes with it. C'est Paris and that's enough!
Oh I am missing this so much. It's probably the worst thing about not being in France. I've had good coffee here but it is not the same. I guess being with the grandkids is good compensation !
I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, lover of all things French ( whose French is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic church and community volunteer, and grandmother to 5 delightful grandchildren.
I fell in love with Paris in March 2007. It was as the French say, le coup de foudre : love at first sight. As a result of that trip, my photography took another direction. Since that time I have pursued a career of sorts in photography and dreamed of returning to the City of Light. November 2008 found me strolling the streets of Paris once again. My first visit I was so overwhelmed with the incredible beauty of the city, I photographed it as a "tourist". In 2008 I returned and I looked at the city with more of a photographer's eye. I wanted to capture the unique, the small details, and oh yes - the people! This blog was started as a photo diary of that trip, but I have been most fortunate to return to the city j'adore 15 times since. Each time I leave, I wipe a tear and start planning my list for the next trip. Paris may well be a moveable feast, but I think it's best savored in person! Someone told me that once you have been to Paris, you will leave a piece of your heart. I left mine right there, but I brought home some wonderful memories. It is my pleasure to share them with you.

I haven't had espresso in years. I tend to go for tea as it is, but the treat might be enticing!
Where can I find this delicious espresso and pretty cup?

Le petit napperon sous la tasse, c'est très raffiné.
Alain, as always I learn from you. Aujourd'hui...le petit napperon! :)

I also prefer coffee in a ceramic cup, but those small cups with impossibly small handles are impossible to hold. Bah, humbug.
