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.
