When it comes to a cup of coffee, those of us with a discerning addiction can tell you not all coffee machines are equal. While I love a good French press on a leisurely morning, most days I crave a strong brew — like the kind that comes from a barista at the coffee shop or from at home espresso machine, like the De’Longhi La Specialista Arte Evo espresso machine, currently on sale for $500 at Best Buy, a $200 savings on the regular price. If you think this coffee maker will change your life or that of someone you love, you’re probably right, but this deal won’t last much longer, so add to cart while you can.
This attractive stainless steel espresso machine has a built-in grinder with eight different settings designed to optimize the flavor of the bean depending on the type of drink you want. You can make single or double espresso drinks and even opt for a cold-brew. There are also multiple temperature controls which allow you to choose between three settings to get the best flavor extraction from your beans.
