We purchased a Rocket Espresso (R58) machine from Seattlecoffeegear.com and it’s the centerpiece of the kitchen and makes great coffee. Not a cheap option but when I added up what we spent at Starbucks for two of us, I could somewhat justify it. The espressos and lattes reminds us of what we get in Europe.
