Is the Salton 3-in-1 worth it at $225.54?

It is a reasonable entry point if you want espresso and milk frothing in one machine and already own a grinder. With only one new listing at $225.54 at Newegg as of November 7, 2026, you have no cheaper store to fall back on, so compare against similarly priced single-boiler machines before buying.

Does it grind coffee beans?

No. The machine has no integrated grinder, so you need pre-ground espresso or a separate burr grinder. The reusable filter basket takes standard ground coffee.

How does the milk frother work?

The frother is built into the machine, so you steam milk for cappuccino and latte without a separate wand. Expect to wait between pulling a shot and frothing on this single-boiler design.

What comes in the box?

You get the machine, a reusable filter basket and a drip tray. Filters are reusable, so there are no pods to buy.

Where is it cheapest?

Newegg lists it at $225.54 as of November 7, 2026, and it is the only store pricing it new. That price is at the high end of its recent range, so waiting for a drop is reasonable if you are not in a hurry.
