I posted about this thing a couple of days ago, Casabrews CM5418 espresso maker. It's decent! The tamper it comes with is thin plastic dog shit as is standard with basically any espresso machine. It claims 20 bars but dials itself in at 8 to 10, so good espresso range, and it actually warns you in the manual that if your machine is putting in more than that much pressure you should probably RMA it. Milk steaming wand works, but it doesn't come with a small pitcher or anything so that you can, you know, steam milk without needing to buy further equipment.

For $139 I'm very pleased with it.

$139 for this espresso/cappuccino machine seems to be quite the steal.
