Why to Buy Espresso Machines
It's always nice to show up at a Starbucks and have a nice [insert drink of choice here] handed right to you.
But once I bought my own espresso machine and switched to only making my own coffee, I've enjoyed my mornings drinks SO much more and have never gone back since.
I love that I can make my espresso/drink any way I would like. I also like that I can have it WHENEVER I like.
I also like that I've saved myself money despite how much good quality espresso machines cost. My espresso machine paid for itself (considering Starbucks prices) within a month (yes, it's an addiction).
The biggest advice I can give is to do your homework well. Luckily, there are tons of resources on the web to help you do that. For all of that info, look below.

Fetching RSS feed... please stand byBuy Stove Top Espresso Machines
Stove top espresso machines are the "authentic" way to make espresso.
I personally am I big fan of the taste of the espresso that you get from stove top espresso machines.
It's a tiny bit more waiting time than the espresso machines and you also need to be more aware of how much espresso you put in there. Your espressos will taste a bit different from one to the next but your technique can certainly perfected if you prefer a specific taste.
They're easy to clean though and maintain and are generally much more inexpensive.
