Save 50%: Get your caffeine fix for half off. As of March 14, the Cuisinart Defined Espresso Machine is just $99.99 (down from $199.99) at Amazon and Best Buy.


Spring is days away, meaning the clocks have jumped forward, the sky is dark when your alarm goes off, and very quickly a strong latte in the morning has shifted from a want to an absolute need.

Now maybe you're one of those morning people that can pop out of bed bright and early, with or without an alarm (in which case, we think a nice espresso drink pairs well with any sweets you might be enjoying for today's Pi Day celebrations). But for the rest of us, an extra jolt of energy in the morning is all but essential, so the timing of the Cuisinart Defined Espresso Machine going for 50% off at just $99.99, at both Amazon and Best Buy, couldn't be better.

Is this machine the fancy barista-quality Breville you've been eyeing? No, but it's also not $700 like the Breville. Think of the Cuisinart as more of an analogue to the Nespresso, which goes for about $159. In fact, it can even use the same Nespresso pods, and uses 19 bars of pressure to make you smooth single or double espressos. From the digital display, you can set your espresso temp and strength to your liking. For those without much counter space, this compact machine can also squeeze right into your kitchen.

We know today is collectively one of the groggiest days of the year, but you won't want to sleep on this deal — at Best Buy, it's over by tomorrow, and we strongly suspect Amazon will follow suit. So if you're in need of a new espresso fix, check out the Cuisinart Defined Espresso Machine on sale for a limited time only.
