Notes

*I usually do about half the espresso that I brew and then I save the other half for the next day! But this is totally up to you!
**This part is optional if you don't want to add any creamer you don't have to! I like that it adds a little bit more creaminess to the drink and a touch more sweetness! You could leave it out if you wanted.
