I was going to get a Gaggia Cubik, but have seen some reviews and a lot of them say that it tends to break down a lot.
I know they are sold on the net and on ebay. My question is about what model under £200 people would recommend from personal experience, which produces a nice crema, and doesn’t break down after a couple of months. Please don’t just post lists of machines – I can find these myself! Thanks

Starbucks Barista Espresso Machine?

I recently bought a Breville for 0.00. The pump did not work well for steaming the milk and the espresso was never hot enough. I returned it after a month. I have attempted to buy a Starbucks Point on eBay and keep getting overbid. I want the real thing. Any advice/experience?
