Maybe it’s just the chaos of Prime Big Deal Days getting to me, but I’m ready to admit something: I’m a coffee addict. I drink three cups every morning, sometimes have a pick-me-up after work, and a late-night Spanish Coffee certainly isn’t out of the question. So when I saw this espresso maker deal at Best Buy today, I figured it might be time to upgrade from my tried and true but worn out .
The has a 31% discount during Best Buy Prime Day deals, the tech retailer’s 48-Hour Flash Sale competing with Amazon. That brings the price of this machine down to just $550 (compared to its regular $800 price). While that’s a far cry from my $75, battle-tested Mr. Coffee, it’s an enticing, splurge-worthy offer. Savings aside, there’s so much this machine can do that will entice a real java junkie.
Why you should buy the Philips 3300 Espresso Maker
The most obvious improvement is the ability to make real espresso shots, not just drip coffee (but it makes that, too). The Philips 3300 has six main modes: espresso shot, drip coffee, cappuccino, macchiato, hot water, and iced coffee. That’s how this thing saves you money. With the Philips 3300 on my countertop, the only reason I’ll go to a coffee shop is for the vibes or a ridiculously sugary frappe. Its discount price of $550 is equivalent to 110 $5 coffees. If you’re like me, you’ll recoup your costs in about three months. If you have multiple latte lovers in the house, it’ll pay for itself in no time.
All you need to make coffee with the Philips 3300 is fresh coffee beans, water, and milk — no barista skills required. The espresso maker grinds the beans and pulls the espresso shot for you. You don’t have to worry about burning your grounds. The milk frother is even automatic. No need to learn any fancy barista tricks — you get perfectly frothed milk every time.
Prime Big Deal Days has thrown plenty of espresso maker deals at us this year. We’re getting everything from simple Keurigs to elaborate machines like this Philips 3300. I’m strongly considering buying the Philips 3300 and upgrading my coffee routine. A real pulled shot made from fresh ground beans, frothed milk instead of Stevia — heck, I might learn how to make latte art. Check out this if you’re also interested, but hurry. Best Buy is ending this deal tomorrow, so we don’t have long to make up our minds.
