Compare and Review Home Cafe Barista Coffee Brewers

I personally had 3 very good examples and comparisons while evaluating the purchase of my own in home barista.

My sister’s husband bought her the pricey Breville Barista Express Espresso Machine with Grinder for $800.00 cold hard cash but she raves about it all the time.

Frankly I got really tired of hearing her brag.

I had sampled coffee from her pricey brewer over and over and it was very good but I just couldn't wrap my head around spending that much money.

Once I crunched the numbers it proved to be a savings. I was now on the road to brewing my own specialty coffees.

But it does make an amazing cup of coffee, latte, cap and all with that beloved frothy foamy texture I adore so much. 

Plus it has a grinder built in,  it's just like the machine the use at Starbucks. I knew I had to have my own.

I have a friend who manages a Starbucks.

What I learned from him is this; you can brew your own coffee at home from the standard coffee brewer for about twenty cents on the dollar while any espresso based drink, like those made at Starbucks is twenty three cents on the dollar, their cost, not the mark up. Too Much!

You can do the math yourself quickly noting the huge cost difference.

My manager friend also invested in his own fancy Barista home brewer as did my sister.

With the average cost of the Starbucks drinks we routinely enjoyed costing @ six bucks his brewer paid for its self in a few short months, he shared with me and other friends when we came for frequently came over for coffee.  

I love my new brewer you can see to the right.... I picked the Mr. Coffee and I've never been a fan always owning Bunn being very happy with them, I was a bit of a coffee snob who thought Mr. Coffee was a low end product I would never use. I've been proven wrong...

After three real life examples of coffee barista machines I was convinced it was a good purchase.

Third example, another friend bought the Mr. Coffee Barista after we watched a comparison done on our local news station.

Mr. Coffee was picked over Starbucks as the better tasting coffee.  She loved it and now makes delicious lattes and cappuccinos for only 45 cents a cup and that’s with the fancy frothy foam coffee we adore so much
