Rise and grind! Oh, what's that? You buy your lattes from a cafe every morning? That must add up. If the idea of enjoying a pro-level espresso drink without having to get in the car sounds appealing to you, here's what Martha Stewart herself recommends: the Breville Barista Express. An Amazon bestseller, this mighty appliance was thoughtfully designed with crafting the perfect cup in mind. And while the promise of sipping on homemade caffeinated beverages from the comfort of our kitchens is enough to wake us right up, the fact that it's currently $150 off is the whipped cream on the mocha. Plus, it'll arrive before Mother's Day (May 11) if you order quickly, so if you've got a java lover on your gift list, you can treat them to one too.

Juice, frozen cocktails, soups, smoothies ... the possibilities are endless with this multitasker in your kitchen.
At $550 (down from $700), this machine is on sale for one of its lowest prices all year, and we're not seeing it for less anywhere else on the web. Is it still an investment? Absolutely, but because it has Stewart's endorsement, you know it's a top-tier product. And let's do some math, shall we? Say you spend about $5 on an espresso drink five days a week (before tip!). That's $25 per week, or $100 per month — meaning $1,200 per year. In six months, this appliance will more than pay for itself!
Stewart included the Breville Barista Express in a gift guide for US Weekly, calling it "the best" and saying it'll inspire recipients to "get rid of those pods and make real coffee." Of course, the best gifts are often the ones we treat ourselves to, and if you appreciate a good cup o' joe, you can't do much better than this.
Equipped with a grinder that has 16(!) settings, the machine allows you to customize your brew to make your ideal cup. There's also a built-in steam wand to froth up milk for foamy lattes and cappuccinos. A combo of low water pressure pre-infusion and a digital temperature control helps ensure you're getting the most flavor out of your beans. No bitter mud water here!
Martha Stewart's in good company — more than 21,000 Amazon customers thought the Breville was worthy of a perfect five-star rating.
"I’ve had this for a few weeks and I am blown away," shared one convert. "Once you tune this just right, your espresso will be perfect every time ... Perfecting the grind and the steamer on this will bring your barista abilities up to [a] professional level. The only reason I go to Starbucks now is to resupply my espresso beans, saving me about $120 per month."
"I've had various espresso machines over the past 36 years, some of them worked well, some did not," said another. "I'm pleased to say that our new Breville is absolutely the best machine I've had. It was easy to set up, and following several YouTube videos on how to dial it in helped me quickly get to the right grind to draw the perfect espresso ... And it looks beautiful on our countertop!"
"My husband and I had been searching for a compact and durable espresso machine that would make excellent coffee for a while now, and this is it," raved a third. "The machine heats up quickly so we can have morning espresso shots ... and it is relatively easy to clean. We’ve had iced lattes, Americanos and Vietnamese coconut coffees that all taste excellent. Should last us many years; definitely worth the investment!"
"Must have saved us thousands!" exclaimed a generally satisfied shopper. "My only minor design complaint is that it is difficult to see the water level, as the tank is on the back, so sometimes the water runs out during the coffee making. It is still five stars!"
"If you are an avid coffee drinker, look no further," wrote a final fan. "I have used other espresso machines, and so far this one has been my favorite. ... The only thing I wish I could change on this machine is the ability to foam milk while pouring your espresso shot."
