We’re in a blizzard, and the cafes are either closed, packed or impossible to reach without sacrificing yourself to a black ice accident. Uber Eats will deliver pad thai in a snowstorm, but no one is couriering you a proper espresso with fresh crema intact.
This is where the De’Longhi Stilosa Manual Espresso Machine becomes a snow-day survival tool — or a daily survival tool regardless of the weather. At $150 on Amazon (with Prime shipping, no less), it upgrades your snowed-in situation to a cozy WFH opportunity.
De’Longhi Stilosa Manual Espresso Machine
AmazonThe Stilosa is a 15-bar pump manual espresso machine with a stainless steel boiler, a two-level cup holder to accommodate taller mugs, and a traditional portafilter that allows for single or double shots. It includes a steam wand for milk frothing, meaning cappuccinos and lattes are fully on the table, and its compact footprint fits comfortably on even the most aggressively small New York countertops.
It’s compatible with ground espresso, giving you control over grind and roast, and it heats quickly, which is an important detail when the city outside looks like a snow globe you didn’t consent to living in.
