Breville’s Barista Express is on sale at Amazon and Best Buy for $549.95 ($150 off), its second-best price this year. It certainly isn’t the cheapest espresso machine available, but it’s chic, straightforward, and relatively easy to maintain, given that Breville provides most of the tools.
Just ask The Verge’s own Allison Johnson, who uses it as her daily driver.
