My friend recently started working at a popular coffee shop and I stopped in to get an iced mocha. I ended up spending more than $8 after tip. And while it was good, I grew up getting eight McChickens for that price. If you love coffee and you’re spending too much buying it from coffee shops, now is the time to invest in a versatile at-home espresso machine or coffee maker. I personally love De’Longhi’s easy-to-use countertop machines and—even though they aren’t cheap—they will pay for themselves in relatively short order by curbing your takeout coffee habit. These machines don’t go on sale all that often, so these rare Amazon discounts are worth jumping on right now.
