This is my first time posting, but I have done some searching and am not sure exactly what machine I want. On epinions.com , the Delonghi machines received good reviews, but are bashed on here. I also read on here the newer Briel machines are not very good. I am left wondering, what is a good machine that can be had for at or under $100 (before shipping)? Of course, this is eBay price, so the Delonghi Bar32 and machines like that are in play, but I don't see a whole lot of options at this price. I will use the machine mostly for espresso, so a decent frother is important, but I'd like to be able to taste a good espresso from it now & then also. Yes, I've read about the importance of a grinder too, so in advance, thanks for that advice :) and thanks for any other suggestions.
