Let’s face it, for most of us, one of our daily joys consists of grabbing a $7 cup of coffee. But when taking daily trips to your local cafe is too expensive, what do you do? Buying a super expensive espresso machine can be challenging and is probably out of the question. However, you don’t have to spend a ton of money for cafe-style espresso. Just invest in a Moka Pot.

Known as a stovetop espresso maker, Moka Pots deliver deep, rich and delicious coffee in just a matter of minutes, and they’re versatile enough for lattes, cappuccinos and iced or hot coffee. This best-selling one from Amazon even doubles as kitchen decor, and it’s under $20.

Entertaining a crowd of people? This pot makes six servings, and the heat-resistant handle and non-drip spout make for easy pouring. The bright red color also adds a vintage and colorful touch to any kitchen. But if red isn’t your style, it also comes in black, silver and blue.

However, upon seeing the price tag for espresso makers, I realized that I’d have to be creative to get my espresso fix at home. I quickly settled on moka pots. Something you don’t have to plug in? Sold!,” says one reviewer. “I’m confident to say that this was a pretty good buy, especially if one wants to have a moka pot that doesn’t break the bank.”
