You don't actually have to break the bank to pick up an espresso machine, love. In fact, there are several great options under the $300 mark that will produce great shots and steamed milk so that you can easily craft your favorite espresso drinks at home.
We asked Jess and Teri to choose a few of their favorites within this price bracket and they selected DeLonghi's EC155, Saeco's Poemia & Aroma and Krups' XP5280. Watch them discuss the features and specs of each of these machines, how they compare and what they do and don't like about them.
