Jennifer Garner is an award-winning actress, business owner, and mom of three kids. But fans who follow her on social media also know that her talents extend to the kitchen, where she often hosts her Pretend Cooking Show.
Jennifer has recently made the transition from baking and cooking to making coffee, for a special segment she calls Pretend Cooking Show: Barista Edition. She took to Instagram to show off her favorite new gadget, KitchenAid's Semi Automatic Espresso Machine.
Jennifer showed off the gadget's many features. She says, "After back to school, we want coffee. How do we want it? In weird, different ways. You want it short, you want it tall, you want it extra hot, you want it with a special floof. Now you can have all of that at home."
She shows off all the features of the KitchenAid machine while making her MoCoNut Floof Latte topped with coconut cream. The machine has a built-in burr grinder and a multi-angle steam wand, plus a "clean me" notification when it's time to run the cleaning cycle.
Any coffee fan knows that a professional-grade machine comes at a price. The heavy-duty KitchenAid device (available in black, stainless steel, and juniper) retails for $699.99, but, this week only, it's steeply discounted by $150 to bring the price to $549. If you're an espresso drinker, now's the time to buy, or pick one up for a splurge present for the most caffeinated person on your holiday shopping list. You'll put the costly Nespresso pods and trips to Starbucks in your past.
