I’m pretty good with my tamping and timing, but since retiring from being a barista at a small coffeehouse, I miss the espresso. After looking around I have been fairly disappointed with the junk espresso machines that are being pushed right now.

What I’m looking for is an espresso maker that does not auto-tamp, has a hot waterspout, a steam wand, manual steam control (for the group head), and a hefty portafilter.

Where can I find such one that is not junk?
