A De'Longhi espresso machine priced at $150 is reported to produce 'perfect' espresso, offering a more affordable alternative to higher-end options like Breville. Some outlets are highlighting affordable coffee machine options, with one report mentioning a machine that outperformed more expensive devices in a blind taste test. It appears that various coffee machines, including those from Breville and De'Longhi, are being discounted during sales events, although the specific deals and prices vary.
