9. Breville Barista Express Espresso Machine
Do you know how much I spend each month on my caffeine habit? Neither do I, and I don't like thinking about it.  For 2011, I probably could afford one and a half Birkins with what I've put towards non-fat quad lattes. Right now I'm convinced an espresso/cappuccino maker will help my cause, but it needs to be a good one. 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. The ultimate.
