DeLonghi Espresso Machine EC220.R
Priced to go as I moved house and have no room.
Great little budget espresso maker, though not a "true espresso machine" because it can't create enough pressure. It still manages with the pressurized portafilter to do a good job of extracting. I found that with most medium roast espresso ground coffees that a 20-25s drawdown was plenty.
Serviced the machine last year and it is in good working order. As ever when you buy a new machine I recommend de-scaling it. It's clean and well used though with plenty of miles left on the clock. The steam wand isn't the best, it's about my only complaint - but it works and will steam milk if you're making a latte, but steaming and foaming for something like a cappuccino night be ambitious. I never really used the wand really so it didn't matter. The portafilter is surprisingly good and has served me well.
The model number is an EC220.R - if you look online they are fairly well liked and we'll reviewed as budget machines go. Put up a screenshot to an Ebay sale of one there. They sell pretty well still.
