Welcome to pumpkin spice latte season (and Skelly season). Regardless of whether you love pumpkin spice or wish it would disappear forever, the Starbucks fall menu landed in stores this morning, and of course that includes the PSL. Like everything these days, the latte doesn't come cheap. Not that the coffee chain ever was cheap, but a daily PSL (or any other flavor) can add up at a shocking speed.
We have tons of at-home coffee maker options these days and some are truly amazing. There's typically an initial cost investment, but it evens out to be less expensive than the cafe over time. And making coffee in your own kitchen means you don't need to change into public-appropriate clothing or dodge that acquaintance from high school you'd rather not encounter.
De'Longhi makes some of the most user-friendly and advanced espresso machines, and that includes the brand's lineup of Nespresso Vertuo machines. Just in time for PSL season (and the upcoming fall back clock reset) the brand has discounted espresso machines for Labor Day, and the sale is already live. Here are some great options to shop this week.
Best automatic De'Longhi espresso machine deal
Why we like it
One touch is all it takes to make a latte, cappuccino, flat white, iced coffee, espresso, and more with the De'Longhi Rivelia Espresso Machine. The automatic milk frother is great for milk or milk alternatives and the 3.5-inch color display will help guide you to your perfect coffee-house drink each morning. You can also set four user profiles on the machines, so it'll become your new favorite barista, knowing your precise order. Plus, the Rivelia comes with two removeable bean hoppers, so you can switch from your morning medium roast to your late afternoon decaf roast.
If we assume your daily cafe order includes a $6 latte, it only takes 200 days to break even with today's sale price of $1,200 on the De'Longhi Rivelia Espresso Machine.

Why we like it
If you prefer the convenience of a pod machine, the Nespresso Vertuo Lattissima Coffee and Espresso Maker is one of the best options. Build by the experts at De'Longhi, the machine uses one-touch brewing we've come to love on busy mornings. You'll have your choice of five cup sizes which includes iced and hot options. The one-touch milk system takes mere moments to serve up foamy milk or milk alternatives directly into your perfect cup of coffee each morning. Plus, the 16-ounce milk tank is detachable and can safely head into the dishwasher.
