I would hate to sit down and actually figure out how much money I spend on coffee in one month. I don't want to even think about it. I am a Starbucks drive through junky.  Once in a while I actually go in the store to get my coffee. Every time I go in, I walk right past the espresso coffee machines sitting on the shelf for sale. Why do I do that to my pocket book?  I have researched commercial espresso machines and automatic espresso machines online and there are so many great products to choose from. If I bought one of those automatic espresso machines, I could wake up to the delicious coffee bean aroma in the morning, without impatiently having to wait like I do in the drive through.  And with the automatic espresso machines, you can present it to be hot and ready for you whenever you want it to be.  So if you are a coffee junky like me, maybe we should be considering the commercial espresso machines that are out there on the market, instead of spending unspeakable amounts of money every month at coffee shops and restaurants.
