5 Great Reasons to Buy a Fully Automatic Espresso Machine
Imagine how great it would be to have a fully automatic espresso machine in your own kitchen
. Lots of people have not only considered it, but tons of people are taking that step and tossing out the old drip coffee maker. Why do the "drip" if you don't have to?Let's look at 5 reasons why you should have your own personal fully automatic espresso machine, and then you can decide if you should join the crowd of true espresso lovers and take actions towards purchasing your own:
First, drip coffee is "blah" compared to an espresso drink that is created with a shot of freshly extracted espresso. Really, there's no comparison. Ok, I will accept your objection that a fully automatic espresso machine is considerably more expensive than a Mr. Coffee coffee maker, like maybe 28 times more costly. But you should consider this: an espresso drink, like a cappuccino, or latte, that's a g-zillion times better, much more complex, more robust, and richer than drip coffee, is worth paying 28 times more for the machine that can make it. Besides, you should keep in mind that if you're having to pay $5 or more for the daily cup of deliciousness at Starbucks that at the end of the year you have spent close to $1,500, or more, for your espresso. That hurts!
Second, producing a latte or cappuccino at home is just as simple as making a cup of drip coffee when you have a fully automatic espresso machine. The primary reason for that would be that today's high-tech, fully automatic espresso machine does practically everything for you, from grinding the beans all the way to disposing of the used coffee grounds after the brewing process is complete. It doesn't get much simpler than that. It is probably easier to make an espresso than it is to make a cup of coffee with a drip coffee maker.
Third, you are able to make a wide assortment of espresso beverages, not only a plain cup of coffee. With the frothing wand that comes with all fully automatic espresso machines you are able to steam milk for lattes, and foam milk for cappuccinos. You can even get creative and make your own beverages.
Fourth, you are able to drink all the espressos, lattes and cappuccinos that you would like, without busting the budget! For mere pennies you are able to make an espresso drink, every bit as good as you can buy at Starbucks, where you'd pay $5 or more.
And Fifth, and perhaps most important (tongue in cheek), is that you will impress the heck out of all your buddies and family the next time you have them over for "coffee", and set a stunning, foamy-capped, nutmeg-sprinkled cappuccino in front of them.
After you consider these compelling factors and carefully evaluate them, I expect you'll probably have to admit that a very great case can be made for purchasing your own fully automatic espresso machine for your kitchen.
Just think it over. In all seriousness, if you really adore espresso, and millions of Americans do, you really should have your own fully automatic espresso machine. The cost may make it seem like a selfish indulgence, but in the long run you'll really be saving a ton of cash, and you will be much happier when you don't have to slog through a line to obtain your morning espresso. We only live once, so we should drink lots of great coffee drinks, right?
