Krups XP1020 Espresso Machine

I bought this cheap espresso machine in an attempt to save my wallet from the damage my local Starbucks store was doing. And I have to say it has performed wonderfully and met all my expectations.

Once I got comfortable with what amount of espresso, milk and other ingredients to use, I have found the mocha I can make with this machine to be excellent and satisfying.

I have not had any other kind of experience with cheap espresso machine in the past, so it's hard to say how it measures up to others (easier to use, espresso tastes funny, etc), but I can say that for a first time user it works just fine.

If you are a true cheap espresso machine connoisseur, this is probably not the machine for you. Go ahead and spend a budgeted money to get your cheap espresso machine to the exact taste and consistency that you require. If you are someone who just wants a decent latte, mocha, cappuccino or other espresso based drink and don't want to break the bank, you can't go wrong with this machine.

Price Range: 45$ to 75$ depending on capacity
