For those in the market for a super reliable, entry-level semi-automatic espresso machine, the Saeco Aroma is hard to beat. It's got great build quality, a pressurized portafilter that works great with pods or pre-ground coffee and can even be upgraded with a non-pressurized portafilter for those that want to delve into the world of traditional extractions. While supplies last, we've put these excellent single boiler espresso machines on a smokin' sale -- the black powder-coated metal version is $239.95 and the brushed stainless steel model is $249.95. These normally go for significantly more, so if you've been thinking about picking one up, now is definitely the time.
