I can't see dropping $2,000 to be able to make expresso at home. And! Then be frustrated I can pull even shots.
Doing research on the web is confusing as hell with all kinds of conflicting info.
Is there a book out there "Expresso Making for Dummies" or a non commercial website where someone breaks it down?
If I could shell out $500 or so, and know I can make a good expresso, I'd jump.
A couple of grand - I'll hit the local

Hit up Youtube and check out Seattle Coffee gear and Prima Coffee Equipment's channels.
Also, start watching craigslist and looking around at restaurant equipment suppliers for a used Nuavoa Simonelli Oscar. IMO it's the best unit that can be had for under $1k if you can find one that's been properly maintained. I picked one up for $300 and then had to put about $80 into it on a rebuild and it's awesome.
