When I have a real job my desire for one of these fancy machines may increase with my salary, but really, you don't need to spend $180 or more on an espresso machine.
The humble Vietnamese coffee drip costs $1 (in Vietnam). You can get Bodum versions for $10.
A French press costs $10 at Target.
Or a Bialetti expresso maker in one of many sizes for less than $30.
Not hard to use. Few instructions required. No special "pods" of coffee. Just a grinder, and some water at 96C.
