2. Breville Barista Express Espresso Maker
If your mother enjoys a good latte, cappuccino, or any other caffeinated beverage involving espresso shots, a top-of-the-line machine to make them from the comfort of her own kitchen would make for a wonderful gift. This one by Breville is professional-grade but you don't need to have barista experience to use it. It does everything: takes pods, grinds beans, has a fancy swivel steam wand, and will balance your checkbook. It's the BMW 5 Series with a sports package of espresso makers, and your mom deserves nothing but the best.
