I like my coffee the way I like my women... Asian and horny...

Oh wait... not a good analogy.

Let me start again, I make my own coffee, by some standards some people consider me a coffee snob (and a beer snob but that is another thread).

I buy fresh beans (Costa Rican, Honduran, Bolivian, Ethiopian are a few of my favorites) grind them myself, French press at home, drip at work, black... if I am in touch with my feminine side maybe a shot of whole milk in there... that is it.

Sometime when we are out after a good meal I will have one of those espresso drinks.

So I am board and surfing Amazon for espresso machines... everything from $50 to $5000.

So what is a good, reliable, not break the bank ($$$) espresso machine good for just a shot here and there on the weekends?

Ciao!
