I bought a Cuisinart espresso machine a few months back, it’s makes a really good espresso and I’ve never had any problems with it. It heats up reasonably fast and it’s nice to look at (stainless steel). It was around $150 Canadian. I could suggest not getting a Tassimo, I had originally purchased one of these and returned it immediately when I saw the ridiculous packages of espresso and milk.
