You can get good results with a Krups Gusto. They are no longer made, but
you can pick one up on Ebay for like 25-50 bucks now. The gusto is a pump
driven machine with a stainless steel boiler. I got very good espresso with
mine. I did have to find the right grind to get good results. The frother
works well once you pull off the frothing aid...you dont need it. And the
plastic tamper is a joke...you'll need a better one.
