Making a good espresso or caffe latte doesn’t have to cost a fortune and need an expensive machine. Take the time and enjoy the process with some self involvement time with one of these classic cheap coffee makers and than whisk some warm milk in a pot.

My Bialetti Moka pot keeps me fueled all day long. There are similar looking coffee pots, but only the Bialetti are truly the best.

I have used this espresso coffee pot for the stovetop forever. It makes incredible espresso and it's cheap! A coffee lover's staple and a must for any student. (via www.bialettishop.com)

I hear the french drink all of their coffee out of these. I have one and love it - now I just need to make it to the other side of the pond to see how the french live. :-)

Unique!!! I love Bialetti!!

I cannot be spoken to until I've had my first cup of espresso in the morning! Grrrrrrrr!

This is the household coffee maker in Italy. Bialetti is known the world over as the best manufacturer of stovetop espresso machines. It is the number one coffee maker in the world and it is available in a number of sizes. This is the perfect little machine for making your own espresso drinks at home! Perfect for the change of seasons!

Whenever I find myself with a craving for a pricey Starbucks latte, I turn to my Bialetti instead. It cooks up terrific tasting espresso at a fraction of the cost of a store-bought latte.
