I have had my own espresso machine for many years. I can’t imagine a life without her. What a nightmare it would be to wake up early in the morning and not have my old trusty espresso. I have to have a good, strong cup of coffee at the start of the day, or I’m just never going to wake up. I like the royal treatment. None of that kind of instant powder, just add water which the ads try to sell by showing you a series of pretty girls in mouthwatering outfits.
For true espresso lovers, automatic espresso machines that take a single pod of overpacked ground coffee simply aren’t good enough. Think about the whole process that pre-built pods go through. They are individually packaged and then repackaged in yet another wrapper. They are put in a box which is then put in another bigger box! Then they put the capsules in a TV commercial that probably cost a few million dollars, which is supposed to convince us that you can’t get any better on the market than that!
The best discount espresso machines for home use
There is life after espresso in capsules. I have bought many espresso machines in my time and know all about how they work. Coffee makers for home use have become very affordable in recent years. Almost everyone can afford one these days, so there’s no real reason not to buy one. And if you have to save for a month or so… I’d say it’s worth the effort! And if you think the regular price is too high, you can always look for discount espresso machines. There are plenty to find on the web and they make a great cup of coffee!
In fact, there are coffee makers available for less than $100. And that’s just the regular price! Can you imagine finding that model available at a discount? Browse the web and you will surely find one. Even the cheap machines are powered by pumps instead of steam these days. This is good, because pump-powered machines generate much more pressure than steam-powered machines. More pressure means a stronger tasting shot of espresso! So if you’re shopping and a good model catches your eye, at least make sure it’s pump-driven so you can enjoy a good espresso right in your own home.
