Coffee is one of life’s simpler pleasures. But, your caffeine habit presents an interesting Catch 22: While a morning jolt can make our workday exponentially better, you can't bring yourself to fork over $7 for a cup of Joe everyday.
Switching to an at-home coffee maker, like the De'Longhi dual espresso and cappuccino machine, will let you indulge in barista-quality brews for way less. With one press of a button, its attached frother can whip up milk for rich, creamy lattes. The gadget can also simultaneously brew extra-strong espressos — just the way you like them.
From there the menu options are endless; artisanal concoctions like red eyes and flat whites are just the start. And, when you're finished, you simply wipe-down the removable water tank and drip tray for a hassle-free clean-up.
After about 14 uses (give or take), the $72 brewer will prove itself a superior option to commercial, overpriced coffeehouses: It won't forget your order, rack up your credit card bill, or spell your name wrong on a disposable cup.
