venuv's Full Review: Krups Bravo Plus 872 Espresso Machine
For $70 (20 visits to Starbucks), you get a pretty reasonable cappucino without the commute. Krups is fairly well built, and easy to clean. It is quite durable (the last model I bought last me over 5 years) and easy to clean. Make sure you use purified water, else the machine won't last you more than a few months. I have had a previous model calcify because of hard water. The machine is easy enough to use that my 7 year old makes me coffee on Sundays.

Things to watch. The steamer is adequate but slow. Good enough for a couple of cups but not for big parties. The biggest drawback is the lid on the water tank, which you have to make sure that you tighten completely. I have on many an occasion thought that I closed the lid, only to find that I had not tightened it enough.

All told - I highly recommend it for the price
