Why Should You Buy an Espresso Machine? Here Are Six Stellar Reasons

By Lili Rousso

Coffee houses are on every street corner, why should you buy an espresso machine? Convenience and expense often top the lists of reasons people buy espresso machines, but we delve a little more deeply into lifestyle of the coffee connoisseur. True coffee lovers do not sacrifice quality for price.

Convenience

Convenience still tops the list of reasons to buy an espresso machine. No matter the time, your espresso machine is made to serve. Early morning or late at night, enjoy a cappuccino or latte any time.

Saving 20 minutes per work day may not seem like a lot of time but in the long run it is more than 86.5 hours per year. More than two work weeks standing there in line to hand someone too much money when you could brew your own at home. For example:

Save Fifteen to Twenty Minutes Daily: That's the average amount of time it takes to stand in line at the coffee shop. According to the traditional 40-hour work week, the average person works 260 days per year. One trip per work day to the coffee house at 20 minutes each averages out to 5,200 minutes per year spent standing in line.

Brew your own cappuccino or latte at home and alleviate the morning rush to the coffee shop. Enjoy the rich aroma as you create your favorite drink. Spend that extra 15 minutes enjoying being at home.

Sick Days

Colds and the flu are very good reasons to stay home from work. Crowded areas, like ordering lines, are great places to be exposed to germs. Spend your sick days cuddled up with a good book or movie and an espresso you made yourself. A home espresso machine brings a lot of comfort on sick days.

Less Expensive than the Coffee House

Cappuccinos, lattes and other caffeinated drinks cost around $4 on average. Some cost more, some less, depending on ingredients used. The relatively inexpensive purchase of a home espresso machine could save more than $900 per year. For example:

Save $4 Per Work Day: Using the example above, the average person works 260 days per year. They spend about $4 on a single caffeinated drink from the corner shop each work day. That is an average of $1,040 in a year.

A nice home espresso machine costs as much as $150. Cartridges especially made to create the perfect cup every single time cost about $0.49 each. Yes, that's forty-nine cents and five minutes for the perfect cup. Of course you have to add in milk and other inexpensive additives but you're still saving a lot of money at the end of the year.

Experimentation Purposes

Be honest, how many times have you looked at the menu, decided to try something different then decided against it because you were in a hurry or just wanted to be sure you'd like what you bought? Stop wishing and start tasting.

Home espresso machines work very well with cartridges of varying blends. Use your curiosity to discover new aromas and tastes. Enjoy being your own barista.

Entertain Guests

Home entertainment includes a nice television, nice music, comfortable furnishings and the best in snacks and drinks. A home espresso machine is sure to please your caffeine loving friends in more ways than one. The espresso machine provides the aroma to make everyone comfortable and give that authentic coffee house feel.

Scent of Freshly Brewed Gourmet Coffee at Home

Nothing matches the aroma of freshly brewed gourmet coffee as you enter the coffee house. Several blends have been previously brewed so the entire room smells like one huge smelting pot of incredible roasts and blends.

Freshly made espresso at home creates a similar, more comfortable feeling in your kitchen. Long lines can make you late for work but a home espresso machine takes about five minutes from preparation to utter enjoyment. Shave 15 minutes off of your daily routine with one simple purchase.
