I can't believe I am back with another pen review so soon. Nothing has really piqued my interest and I have been loving the rest of my collection so much that I am now trying to clean them all out to avoid having 15 fountain pens inked. However, I saw this beautiful pen and I had to get it.
This lovely pen is the M200 Cafe Creme from the amazing Pelikan brand. Cafe Creme was available as a fountain pen and ballpoint pen in 2015 and is a special edition. I bought this off of eBay second-hand for slightly less than $200. Thankfully this pen is in very good condition and came with the papers with the purchase date and warranty.
What really influenced me to buy this was the stunning color combination. The cap, grip section, and piston knob are a very unique dark brown with a hint of red that represents the espresso while the body is a very nice cream color. Overall this pen is the closest I will get to a freshly made macchiato and I love it so much. Below is the picture of the difference in brown is from the M800 Brown-Black.

The nib on this is an extra-fine but writes more like a fine which I am completely ok with. The nib clip and trim are gold-plated. I do love the ink window above the grip section. Really easy to see how much ink you have left and it really fits with the color combo.
M200s are reasonably priced and if you find a color you love I super recommend getting it.
