Bare Bones < 200 dollars We get asked all the time: I want to make great coffee or espresso for under 200$. Is it possible? What do I buy? I am on a limited budget but I want good coffee! Help!	9	38	2008/03/25 20:59 by Lokoseena
Entry level < 400 dollars! You are new to espresso - you have just purchased a 5-buck piece of junk at a garage sale or your dearly departed has left you a Delonghi, Salton-Maxim, Krups, Braun, Betty Crocker, Capresso espresso and the link. Please discuss your woes here.	94	370	2008/07/14 13:55 by lanstrad
Higher end > 400 dollars Whether it's the Solis SL70, any of the pump powered Gaggia's, the Rancilio Silvia and beyond to the ECM Giotto, the Pasquini Livia, Wega etc. We are moving the serious espresso machine discussions here.	46	188	2008/07/17 08:51 by klukkluk

I think the poll has some value at least in the sense of which cafes have a strong report with their regulars as well as an awareness of the poll going on. Obviously, the cafes near the top of the po...
