I want to buy one of my good friends an espresso machine for Christmas, but I don’t have a whole lot of money to spend. If I buy a – model, will I be severely compromising on quality? How good are these machines? Here’s some of the machines I’m looking at:

I have a simple Krups pump espresso machine. I know it needs a decalcifier, and I have found a few cleaning solutions on amazon.com, but what do I do once I get it?

I plan to purchase this one: Durgol 0296 Express Multipurpose Decalcifier
Does that one work well? If not, let me know what does. Thanks!
