I’m sure I don’t need to say this, but where would we be without coffee? I’m well aware there are many people who don’t drink the good stuff, but for those of us who do, I reckon we can all agree it’s something we could never live without.
And no matter if you have a couple of cups in the morning or spread a variety of coffee-based drinks over the course of your day, if you’re getting your caffeine hit from a cafe, then I can only imagine what your yearly expenditure would look like. Fortunately, that’s where a home coffee machine can come into its own, as they’ll slowly but surely earn their price tag back in the amount saved from avoiding takeaway.
That’s especially true right now, as there are several excellent espresso machines discounted for Afterpay Day, from a variety of retailers. I’ve used my fair share of coffee machines in recent years, from fully-automatic bean-to-cup machines, to convenient capsule models and even cafe-level machines that deliver the true crema de la crema (see what I did there?) of at-home espresso — so safe to say, I know which machines are most worth your money.
I’ve picked out my six favourites below, but make sure to follow my live coverage of the Afterpay Day sales for a more comprehensive selection.
