Ah! Same. I was wondering if others hadn't been driven to buy some sort of espresso machine. I bought one for $70 from Kmart, and loved it. Then I got a fancy grinder second hand and it improved the espresso a lot. So then I upgraded to a second hand DeLonghi Icona after a while. It was only $50 because it leaked, but I fixed that with a screwdriver and pliers. Now considering "fancy Italian".
