Espresso Coffee - Make Great Shots, Cheaply at Home

Everybody loves a great shot of espresso, but these frothy drinks served at your local coffee houses are one of the extra indulgences we are all trying to cut back on these days because of the expense. You don't have to go without your coffee fix, you simply have to find a more convenient and economical way to get it. One way to solve the dilemna is to buy your own espresso machine.

At about $4 a shot you will spend almost $1500 a year for one shot a day at a coffee house. Purchasing your own espresso machine allows you to have as many shots a day as you like and your espresso maker would pay for itself in a couple of months. The best espresso maker for the money you can buy is the Gaggia Classic Espresso Maker. It has classic design and very rugged build which puts you in mind of a much higher priced commercial machine that would be found in one of the big coffee houses.

Because of its advanced technology, strong construction and great looks this is a machine which will serve you great coffee and last you for many, many years. There is no end to the versatility of a Gaggia Classic Espresso Machine and it is manufactured by 'Gaggia', probably the most respected name in the espresso world. Achille's Gaggia invented the espresso coffee maker that bears his name in 1945 and the company has been known for top of the line quality in their machines ever since.
