Is it time to invest in an Espresso machine...?
Every morning on the way to work, I make my daily pit stop at Starbucks for my usual Black Eye. This cost me $4.01 or $4.29 depending on whether I get a Grande or Vente.
My first question is....would it be a good investment on my part to purchase an espresso machine of sorts and save myself the $25ish bucks a week on coffee? I know I would be making the purchase of he coffee beans in lieu of just going to Starbucks and having it made for me... Just don't know if it would be cheaper to do it myself in the long run. My second question...I drink solely Red and Black eyes...nothing else. Is there a machine can just make the espresso for me and thats it. I don't need the foam or any of that other Dane McCloud shit. I am open to recommendations if you know of a good machine that may suit my needs... Happy Thanksgiving buttholes. |

I am a little hesitant in purchasing a machine where I have to use 'their' espresso packet/cup things...

Breville makes several different models, and I've enjoyed every Breville product I've purchased. My family had one (grind and brew coffee maker) that went on the fritz a few weeks after the warranty expired and Breville exchanged it anyway, as it was a known issue. I'm not saying that you can't go wrong with Breville, and they tend to be a bit pricey, but I've been happy with them.
Krups and DeLonghi also make some for less money, if cost is an issue. |

My girlfriend and my mom both have this one. They enjoy it. Also one in the break room and people enjoy it. JPB is right about Breville making excellent ones as well.
