I bought the wife a cheap one (~$100) two years ago for her birthday. If you get the right espresso pods, it's awesome.

This is the exact one we have:
De'Longhi EC155 15 BAR Pump Espresso and Cappuccino Maker: Amazon.com: Kitchen & Dining De'Longhi EC155 15 BAR Pump Espresso and Cappuccino Maker: Amazon.com: Kitchen & Dining

It's cheap, simple, and works everytime. In fact, if it were to break tomorrow I'd buy another one instead of dropping coin on an expensive one. I'm at the point where coffee doesn't give me the kick I need anymore, and foaming half and half with milk is the tits.

We use lavazza pods we get from amazon. I think I got 50 pods (1 pod per drink) for $18 or something. I bought it more for convenience than for savings. A trip from my place to starbucks is a 15 minute round trip compared to a 3 minute trip to the kitchen.

I wouldn't say addicted.. I was real messed up on sleep for a while where I was up all night and sleeping all day. I think I've come full circle so I'm happy about that. Been trying to wake up early, depending on my work schedule.. but no more of these sleeping 'till 3pm days.

I'll have a cup of creamer with a touch of coffee some mornings, usually topped with Reddi-whip. We got a Keurig for our wedding shower. For as much as we drink, I'd say it's worth having. I'm good for a pop or 2 a day.. usually Mt. Dew. I don't really drink many caffeine drinks, but I like Monster of NOS at times.

Drinking lots more water though.

Coffee. Drink 2-3 K-cups a day. Always make one in the morning for my (short) ride to work. Usually have another two while I am at work. We have a Keurig and a Nespresso machine in the office. When I feel particularly ballsy I make my own red-eyes.

No more. I really enjoy coffee/espresso, but caffeine just makes me a stressed out mess.
