I'm a hopeless coffee addict who has only just found out about automatic espresso machines. Consequently, I've been browsing the Internet with the intention of buying one. It's almost impossible to make a cup of coffee to rival that of Starbucks with manual espresso coffee machines, the likes of which I currently have at home. In truth, I rarely use my espresso machine. I make espresso only once or twice a week. I resent making it more often than that because I can get the milk to froth up and my husband can't. Hence, I end up making all of the espresso. Automatic espresso machines could end this country-wide problem. Husbands across the nation will lose their excuse for not making the espresso, and we wives will all laugh with impish merriment. It seems that automatic espresso machines can cost anywhere between three hundred dollars for a Nespresso to six thousand for a top of the range Astoria Sibilla. I know what I want for Christmas.
