Starbucks Barista espresso maker

by Nancy

I own Starbucks Barista espresso maker and I love it! I actually own two of them, one for my first home and another for my vacation home.

It can make 2 shots of espresso at a time. I've had both for almost 9 years and use it daily. I've never had any problems with them. Every day I make at least 2 lattes - steaming the milk and making the espresso is so easy.

Prior to these I owned a Krups espresso maker that I hated, way too complicated to use. The Starbucks one is so simple, you push a button when you want to make espresso and then push another to steam the milk.

The only issue I have with it is remembering to refill it with water. It is amazing to me that after daily use, these 9 year old appliances still work as well as the day I bought them (knock on wood!). When these finally peeter out, I would definitely buy another one. They are reasonably priced, I think I spent no more than $350 for them and they paid for themselves within months.
