We’ve been enjoying our Bialetti Mini Express espresso maker every day for the last six months. So if you’re looking for a great gift for an espresso-loving dad, check it out.

A no-mess capsule machine with a modest footprint—7.5″ wide x 10.5″ deep—it fits easily onto the kitchen counter. At $149.95 on Amazon.com, it’s much more affordable than other options.

We like the different espresso blends, and decaf is one of the choices (great for that midnight latte!). We also like that:

It’s easy to brew as short or tall an espresso as you want (we always like a double). The cup platform easily holds an eight-ounce-size American cup.

The water reservoir is on the side. It’s so much more convenient than the typical reservoir-in-the-back design, which requires pulling the machine away from the wall to check the level and refill the water.

It’s a gift that keeps on giving every day, at breakfast, after dinner and for a cappuccino or latte in between.
