Vanilla Frappe Macarons

Let’s see mornings in a new light with Nespresso VertuoLine Breakfast Coffees, Solelio and Giornio and some breakfast cookies.

A-yup. Breakfast cookies by way of French Toast Macarons and Vanilla Frappe Macarons.

Admittedly, most days I will hurriedly down a few scrambled eggs and then it’s off to start a day of rushed madness. But lately, I’m seeing mornings in a new light. To help me along with that are these breakfast dessert macarons and Nespresso VertuoLine Breakfast Coffees, Solelio and Giornio to go with them.

I’ve decided waking up and thinking about all one-hundred and elevent-y! things that need to be complete before 4pm while sipping my coffee is completely non-sensical. Not only that, it gets me reeling down the path of wanting to ignore emails because after that one-hundred and elevent-y to-do list is probably another few dozen emails of missed deadlines inquiries. That, friends, is the awful truth of it.
Thank gawd for the little pleasures in life like morning coffee and cookies. If you are a regular reader around here, then you know I’ve been a long time fan and partner of Nespresso. Their new VertuoLine Breakfast Coffees, Solelio and Giornio are my new go-to blends. The Solelio has red fruity notes, while Giornio has white floral notes—both are light and medium in roast.

What really makes this coffee shine is that Nespresso’s coffees and espressos are topped with a silky and generous layer of naturally-formed crema—a sign of superior, high quality coffee. And if you are a coffee and espresso drinker like me, then you will love how the VertuoLine Evoluo machine brews both large-cup coffee and authentic espresso with one easy touch of a button. But foam—where is the foam to this at-home barista machine you ask? No worries there, because Nespresso has you covered with its Aeroccino4 milk frother, which helps you turn hot or cold milk into barista-worthy foam.
Look at how airy and tight that foam is.

Beyond that, Nespresso makes it easy to recycle the 100% aluminum capsules with a pre-paid Nespresso UPS bag, so go ahead and indulge in some Nespresso and don’t forget the breakfast cookies to go with it!
