Neighborhood Spy: Brewing Up a Storm

Verismo System by Starbucks via Williams Sonoma

Sometimes, you just need a good cup of joe. And with temperatures set to plunge into wintry depths in the months to come, today’s link roundup focuses on how to get your fix without leaving the warm and cozy comforts of home.

First up, Williams-Sonoma unleashes its exclusive Verismo System by Starbucks (the fruits of which are seen above); if you’re a truly addicted zealot who wants it just like your barista makes it, this might just be the only way.

Next, if you need something snarky from which to sip your java, Uncrate offers up Phoebe Richardson’s stackable skeleton mugs, just in time for Halloween… kind of puts another spin on the term bone china, doesn’t it?  (Eh? …Eh?)

If you’re not a Starbucks junkie but, rather, prefer equally (or even more so) indulgent alternatives to the jittery joe they serve, Furniture Fashion has ten options for you in its roundup of sleek, modern cappuccino and espresso makers like the oh-so-shiny Nuovo Era contraption shown here:

Elsewhere on the web, Apartment Therapy takes us on a color safari through the wild, cool world of teal kitchens in which to enjoy your dark roast or your buttery blonde morning blend…

…and last but not least, AT’s partner site, The Kitchn, swirls us through the coffee-colored kitchen of a couple named Emily and Erick in Los Angeles.

Happy spying!
