I see ads for home-duty espresso machines for under $200, and some under $100, even. The reviews are not entirely negative. Some do a passable job, it’s said.
They look decidedly light-duty — plastic bodies, thinnish metal components. I wouldn’t expect them to last more than a year or two in regular use (a couple times or more per day on average, say).
For those less than obsessive about their coffee (I’d never go the lengths some do), I’d think these low-end machines would prove more than adequate.
