Having been in the U.S. I'm aware of the best espresso makers on the market there, but I'm clueless as to what is available in Europe. Phil had mentioned a couple of good ones available in Spain (do you have the URLs?). Any other recommendations?
Thanks.

Both me and Eward are very happy with our Vibiemme (aka VBM or VIBM), an Italian beauty with E61 gruppa, available in both single boiler and HX. I paid about 600 $ for the single boiler version, plus 250 $ for the Rocky (which I hate, but that's another story). Don't know if that's too expensive for you. There's always the Rancilio Silvia, which should be around 400 $, but it's not an E61 machine as far as I know.
