When a coffee machine says “fully automatic,” it’s not a lie: it has a built-in grinder and milk frother, so it essentially does everything for you. Simply add beans and milk, press a button, and in minutes you’ll have an espresso, Americano, cappuccino, latte, macchiato, or regular coffee. This machine has over 5,000 reviews and a rating of 3.9 stars out of 5.
I’m considering buying one. Spending $399 on a coffee maker may seem extravagant, but let’s not get into the details. I go to my local coffee shop about twice a week when I want a nice latte or something similar. A cup of gourmet coffee costs about $7, so that’s $728 a year. With this machine, a latte will probably cost me about a dollar, so even with the price of the machine, the savings in the first year alone will be over $224. The second year is pure profit. I can’t afford not to buy a $400 coffee maker.
