I've had espresso machines, one of which exploded in my kitchen. Luckily I was not near it when the top blew off of it or I could have been badly burned. Never again, not a cheap one anyway. We tried a Keurig machine, $100 for a coffee pot that leaked all over my counter before it was one year old. Also never again. Right now I'm using a simple Mr. Coffee drip machine. My wife and I only drink one cup a day, so I make a whole pot then put it in the refrigerator and it will last about three days. We just heat it in the microwave. Sometimes simple is best for me.
We have used Peete's Coffee for years, but they have literally doubled their price in recent years so I've been buying Dunkin Donuts Espresso at a discount grocery store for half the price of Peete's and I can't tell the difference.
