Up until last week, my wife and I had been brewing our morning pot of coffee in the same machine for over 25 years. When I came downstairs on Wednesday morning however, I found that the machine wouldn’t turn on, and after a few minutes of exasperatingly slapping it on the sides and getting no response, I threw it in the dumpster. Over the weekend, we went to the nearest department store to pick up a new one, and we were simply overwhelmed by the myriad of espresso machines there were to choose from.
The number of choices filled us with a crippling existential fear; so, we decided to go home and do some research before making our decision. After hours of poring over reviews and articles on the merits of the various manufacturers and models, we decided on a Saeco machine. Now that we’ve been using this state-of-the-art technology for about a week, I can’t believe that we waited so long to make the switch.
