As much as we try to deny it, coffee is a morning necessity for plenty of us. The lure for us to swing into the coffee shop for a little treat every morning (or afternoon) is strong. While that's a fun part of some days, it can add up quickly if it's an everyday occurrence. Instead, turn your own kitchen into the coffee shop.

The Bosch 300 Series Fully Auto Espresso Machine is an all-in one unit with a ceramic grinder, steam wand, and one-touch buttons to make five drinks. Choose from espresso, coffee, cappuccino, latte macchiato, and steam milk. The dual heads allow for brewing two cups at once, making the coffee line in the kitchen each morning go much quicker.

In addition to the coffee-based drinks, you can also adjust your desired strength. The high-quality ceramic grinder can hold up to nine ounces of coffee beans. Adding to the convenience of the machine, the stainless steel frothing wand is removable and safe to clean in the dishwasher.

Since it's on sale for the lowest price we've seen and dark mornings are coming, make the upgrade to the Bosch 300 Series Auto Espresso Machine.
