What is the best Espresso machine out there under $300?
I’m looking for something for the beginning Barista that is easy to use, makes great espresso, nice crema, milk steamer/frother, easy cleanup and a filter that doesn’t clog easily.

There are no REAL espresso machines out there for less than 3 bills, unless you can get a good bargain on a used machine that originally sold for 5 bills.
Anything less all you are buying is a steam toy that makes something equivalent to a stove top moka pot.
there’s a starbuck barista espresso machine that was rated highly a few month back. there’s many new one on ebay right now going for mid $200-300. I got one a few month back and use it everyday. I’m a major coffee drinker. It’s so good and has smooth taste compared to other machines, very little maintenance. http://www.starbucks.com/retail/espressoMachines.asp (last image on the site). retail is $399-$449.
Starbucks has a great one for about $249…they will show you how to use it and they work great.
