Everybody loves to drink coffee, and especially espresso. There is nothing like a kick of espresso in the morning with some milk and sugar to get you going. Problem is, caffeine (and especially the fancy kind) can really start to pinch your wallet. What with Starbucks charging you $4 on average per drink, it can be an expensive monthly habit. So what is the answer? Espresso coffee machines.

What exactly are espresso coffee machines? Well - your barista uses one when they make your drink, though it is industrially made and bought for the company. The kind I am referring to are the commercial brands that can fit in the comfort of your home and make you espresso any time you want it.

Espresso coffee machines are not that cheap, though I found one at WalMart on sale for about $130. If you average that you get a $4 coffee every morning, that's already the cost of a machine right there in one month. And then you figure over a longer period of time, the money you are saving by buying coffee in bulk - it is well worth it.
