I Likey Coffee.
December 31st, 1969
One of my great, great joys in life is coffee. It is, among all “vices” the one that seems to have the most actual, beneficial results when taken. Especially now that there’s Crest White Strips in every grocery store.
To top any given morning cup of coffee, drank in almost any given situation (I find coffee can cure many ills of many situations) I believe that sipping freshly brewed coffee while sitting outside under the warm morning sun is perhaps, one of those small things in life that make you happy to be alive.
Other things that make me happy:
- Well made products (UK Coffee Maker company La Cafetière is almost 40 years old, and has mastered the art of making a good cup of joe.)
- Melamine – I mean, who doesn’t love melamine?? And La Cafetière’s “Al Fresco Miami” brightly pink colored melamine coffee set is about as fab as you can get. It’s so Rat Pack in Palm Springs…so JLo in South Beach.
- French press – because it takes time to make, which means it needs time to enjoy, which means you most certainly be sitting down and taking it easy.
- Beautiful items that have multiple functions (the pink flowered tray is ADORABLE and just screaming to serve Mojitos after the coffee has been finitoed.)
The Alfresco Miami set has been designed exclusively by Alison Appleton for La Cafetière. This stylish set is made from grade A melamine and is dishwasher-safe. The strong melamine material means that this French press pot and cups do not easily break if dropped onto a hard surface, thus making them oh-so suitable for use outside on the patio or by the pool.
Drinking from this flowered coffee set makes it perfectly acceptable to wear over-sized sunglasses and a blindingly colored mu mu. You may also bring out anything Lilly Pulitzer.
Ahhh. Coffee.

Melamine – I mean, who doesn’t love melamine??
Oooo, poorly timed question. Melamine: great in serving dishes, absolute hell in pet food…

I just got mine and it’s soooo delightful. The photos don’t do it justice. It’s lightweight but has great handfeel and the coffee press works like a charm. It’s perfect for having my cup of coffee in the morning on our terrace.
