Rob1 Used to be the case you could get an old La Pavoni lever on ebay for less than £200 that just needed a bit of maintenance. All seem to be high priced now. You could find some other vintage levers though.
purnelljack Hi, You can go for a stovetop espresso machine, as the push-button espresso or coffee maker machines are costly. If you are comfortable with old or used machines, then Gaggia Classic Pro - Espresso Machine is the best option.
