Espresso Machines - STARBUCKS Coffee Maker - Zia, Athena, Barista

MR COFFEE espresso machines:
All models, retail price varies

For moderately priced espresso machines, these do not report the design flaws that others in its price range have; good for the beginning student of coffee construction; steam wand is not overly powerful, but slow and steady makes the right foam

And just for fun.
