coffee & espresso machinesWould you like to know how to find the best coffee & espresso machines online so that you can save yourself unnessary trips to starbucks?  If you’re an avid coffee and espresso lover, you probably want to save your $6.00 to $12.00 a day habit at Starbucks for an espresso based drink. Am I right? I’ll show you how.

Stop Wasting Your Money at Starbucks

Six bucks is the average cost of an espresso based drink at Starbucks.  That’s for one  drink.  I’m assuming you only purchase one a day. But many people often buy at least two $5-$6 drinks a day from Starbucks.  Typically they purchase one in the morning and the other at around 3:00 p.m. when they hit that midday slump. 

With the rise in coffee houses and the rise in the price of espresso based drinks, the interest in affordable coffee & espresso machines have risen dramatically.  Knowing where to look online for the best deals in coffee & espresso machines is imporant. Here’s how to go about picking the best espresso machines

What’s Your Budget?

First, you have to determine your budget.  Ask yourself two questions.  What is the absolute most you’re able to afford and what is the least you’ll spend.  Although being economical makes sense, it doesn’t pay to be cheap. 

What Do You Need in a Coffee and Espresso Machine?

Second, ask yourself, what exactly do you need in a coffee and espresso machine?  Are you more of a coffee drinker who occassionally likes espresso based drinks?  Or, are you an avid espresso, cappuccino or mocha lover? 

Depending on your answers, you can then determine what kind of machine to invest in. There’s no point in investing in a high end coffee and espresso machine if you mostly like coffee but occasionally like cappuccino and mocha beverages.  A medium priced espresso coffee machine will suffice.

Do Your Research Online

How do you do research online for coffee & espresso machines?  You have to look for websites that do coffee & espresso machine reviews. In these coffee and espresso machine reviews, look for the following:

  • The website that’s giving the review has disclaimer, about, privacy and contact information on the website
  • Links to original reviews by others who have purchased the item
  • Links to reputable websites on which the coffee and espresso machines are advertised (i.e., Amazon.com)

Finally, add up the cost of your daily Starbucks habit. At $6.00 a day 7 days a week, that’s already $42.  There are 52 weeks in a year.  That comes to a whopping $2,184.00 for year’s worth of Starbucks coffee.  For that amount of money, you can buy a high-end coffee and espresso machines online!
