The Venti Cup Nespresso Lattissima Holiday Giveaway
Are you ready, Venti Cup fans? It's the holiday gift you actually long for... a sleek home espresso machine from Nespresso. As you may know, I was introduced to the brand this year and am now my own barista. We can make espressos in an instant and whip up frothy cappuccinos in a moment. And yes, these are as good or better than those you enjoy at Starbucks. I was dubious at first, thinking these were flavored coffees. Nespresso is nothing of the sort. These are espressos cultivated from around the world. They are smooth, never bitter, and are by far the best shots I've ever tasted.
Now Life in a Venti Cup and Nespresso have partnered up for a holiday giveaway. The Nespresso Lattissima is one of Oprah's favorite things - and soon to be one of yours! It comes in a few fabulous colors Silky White, Ice Silver and Passion Red. Imagine this lovely espresso device on your polished counters.
To be honest, I'm a bit jealous, as this machine is so much more elaborate than the one I own. The Lattissima comes with auto-start and off functions and a built-in milk frother. You'll easily create perfectly portioned espresso, cappuccinos and lattes at the mere touch of a button.
How will you enter to win this marvelous gift? Here's how. "Like" Life in a Venti Cup on facebook and simply drop a comment below telling me how much you love coffee. That's it. A winner will be selected (from qualified entries) on December 20th. Want to double your odds of winning? Share this post on facebook and twitter. The winner will receive a brand new Lattissima machine mailed directly to their home. How's that for a holiday giveaway?
Alright, boys and girls... "Like" Life in a Venti Cup on facebook & drop a comment below to be entered. Let's get into the holiday spirit one sip at a time.
Of course I already like "Life in a Venti Cup" on facebook and I would love to win the espresso machine....what a fantastic giveaway!!!
Thanks for the opportunity to win Franki! xo

I'm a busy mom trying to juggle running a new business and raising a toddler and just recently discovered the wonders a cup of coffee can do! On hiatus from drinking coffee while I'm pregnant but boy would I love to have this when Baby #2 arrives in April!!!
Posted by: Monika Merchant | November 28, 2012 at 07:01 AM
An employee at Crate & Barrel showed me how this machine worked (he made me a sample). Not only delish but so easy to operate.

Monika, I have a 9 month old and a four year old... I agree - coffee is the magic ingredient in the mommy mix. I am so happy to be able to drink coffee now. Congrats on your upcoming arrival. Youll love that they make decaf espresso (three different types, all non-flavored) too! I drank it throughout my pregnancy! Good luck ;)
Posted by: franki durbin | November 28, 2012 at 08:48 AM

Actually, new to coffee! Never liked it (my mom was a burn unit nurse that always had burnt coffee around) but have slowly weaned myself into the iced coffee craze. Now, I don't know a single person who isn't happy with their Nespresso or dare I say the other brand? Curious if I can wean myself into hot coffee now ;)
Posted by: Meara | November 28, 2012 at 10:49 AM
LOVE Coffee! No idea what I would do without it! This would make a great addition to my kitchen and my daily routine!!!
Posted by: Kayti Kersten | November 28, 2012 at 10:49 AM
Meara, I think youd love it. You can always add ice! ;)

yes it would, Kayti!
Posted by: franki durbin | November 28, 2012 at 11:22 AM
Coffee is the best friend who greets you in the morning with warm and gentle hug and then kicks your butt into gear about 20 mins later. I can always count on my bff bean!
I need a machine!!
Posted by: Bree Rockwell | November 28, 2012 at 11:40 AM
Franki Dearest-
If you say this makes good coffee, I trust you. I need some caffeine to keep it going, so bring on the good luck for the drawing :)

Great coffee is a point of pride in Portland. I'd love if my morning ritual was as simple and elegant as Nespresso Lattissima! A frothy cream mustache is just a bonus.

Sean and I both love coffee, and we miss having coffee with our coffee loving friends! And, since the Krups we've been using for the past 10 years is falling apart, we've been shopping for a new one!

Hi, Tracy!!! Well you need a new coffee machine for sure. Love seeing pix of your beautiful girls online. The are getting SO big! Oh my gosh!
Posted by: franki durbin | December 02, 2012 at 08:11 AM
Oh my old coffee maker is so sad compared to this! I LOVE coffee and I want this machine! Thank you!!!
Posted by: Ashley | December 05, 2012 at 07:24 PM
My coffeemaker has been a faithful friend, first thing every morning, mid-day, and after dinner. But can it compare to this amazing barrista-in-a-box? No!
Coffee is at the top of my food chain. Watch me grovel for this Venti Cup Nespresso maker.
Posted by: Bonnie | December 06, 2012 at 08:50 PM
Bonnie, a little coffee is a good thing. A lot of espresso is a wonderful thing. ;)

I love coffee in the winter months and would love this.
Posted by: Jason Lytle | December 10, 2012 at 05:48 PM
Its a steamy one, but my love affair with coffee had lasted many years & runs deep. I have been not so subtly hinting on amazon and Facebook that this is the very model my husband needs to get me for Christmas. I have a feeling it's not happening, but girl, a win would make my very tired, mom-to-a-newborn life!!
Posted by: Melody | December 10, 2012 at 06:01 PM
Ahhh, like coffee? I love coffee. After pregnancy and then breastfeeding for 12 months, drinking coffee again is like finding my long lost relative. I didn't have a drop for nearly 2 years and now I can't be without it.

It is not a good morning without a cu of coffee. It would be a GREAT morning if I had this machine!

Like you on Facebook and I adore coffee, I actually prefer European coffee and after reading various reviews I believe this machine is perfect for making that.
Posted by: D Schmidt | December 14, 2012 at 12:39 AM
Just liked you on facebook. Would love to win this Nespresso for my parents, who love coffee almost more than I do!
