I had no idea an espresso machine was so expensive.

I was thinking of getting me an espresso maker. Well, it would be nice, but a thousand dollars ain't chicken feed. I once had a combo coffee and cappuccino machine that worked for over a year for under a hundred dollars. I think it was a hamilton beach cappuccino plus espresso coffee maker for under a hundred. It was satisfactory for my purposes. Do you think a thousand is a bit high for such a machine? If I could make my own espressos I wouldn't have to go to Starbucks no more except for when I get a gift card and have some points on it. I managed to make gold level at Starbucks but that just translates to a few hundred dollars so far spent on coffee I could have made at home and without dealing with all the preppies.
