I know a lot of the Sydney crew have great taste in coffee...in fact, some of you guys could be fairly labeled espresso geeks [thumbsup] So I'm coming to you for advice.
I want to get a home Espresso machine. Since the cafe on my corner closed, I need to be able to self-enable my own addiction ;D Counter space is at a premium in my place, so it's got to be fairly small. I love dry cappuccinos so it has to have a great steamer wand. Some things I'm looking for:
So do you guys have any recommendations or tips? Many thanks in advance.

- Must have a small counter footprint...roughly 48cm x 60cm
- Steamer wand must make great dry foam
- Good, consistent crema on the espresso
- Must have a water tank, since a water supply valve is not available
- 110 volt...I'm in the US so no 220v ;D
So do you guys have any recommendations or tips? Many thanks in advance.
