If you're sick of buying a $7 latte every day on your way to work, we found a quality, beloved coffee maker at Walmart that shoppers can't stop raving about. Though espresso machines are a pricier investment, do a little math and you'll realize just how quickly you can make it basically pay for itself.
While some of the most popular espresso machines are listed in the $500 range, you don’t have to spend that much to get a beautiful, well balanced pull. Right now, the super popular LinkChef Espresso Machine is on sale at Walmart for $200 off the original price of $320. That means you can get a highly capable espresso maker for only $120—and that’s pretty hard to beat.

This machine is easy to use, with a simple and straightforward choice between single and double shots, or a steam setting which engages the steam wand to foam a milk of your choice. The wand even has a control button that allows you to adjust the level of steam so you can get maximum foam without risking an unwanted burnt-milk flavor.
“Excellent quality machine at an attractive price,” said one customer. “This espresso machine is the highlight of my kitchen 'coffee corner.' It is extremely easy to use and maintain, and the espresso tastes great.”
It comes with both a single and double shot filter basket, as well as a double sided ground scoop and tamper. It also has a removable water reservoir and removable drip tray, which makes refilling and cleaning a breeze.
“Got it on clearance which made me hesitate but I couldn't be happier with my choice,” said one shopper. Another said they appreciated the slim design, which was a great fit for their limited counter space.
Since this is a clearance deal, we can’t be sure how long the sale—or inventory—will last, so we suggest buying ASAP to lock down the best price.
