If you're a cappuccino lover, the biggest compromise is that Silvia is a single-boiler espresso machine without a heat exchanger; in other words, you must wait a minute or so between steaming milk and making espresso. This delay can be quite irksome if you wish to produce more than two milk-based drinks in succession. Silvia is at her best for one or two drinks.

Espresso machines are made with either ABS shock-resistant plastic or metal housing. If plastic bothers you, make sure you look for a machine with a metal housing. As expected, these cost more, and options in the lower prices ranges are limited.

Sirena — sold at 2,100 suburban Starbucks stores and at Starbucks.com — isn't the most expensive espresso machine sold by Starbucks. It sells an even more upscale Magnifica for $999. But officials expect Sirena to be the big holiday hit.

Rated4Stars Review: Gaggia’s Carezza is one of the most popular semi-automatic pump espresso machines, due in part to its competitive sub-$200 price. It is one of the only machines in this price range to deliver a 4-star rating, but not without some flaws. Owners of the unit report rich crema espresso from the Carezza. However, a number of owners point out that you need to need to experiment with grind and other settings before producing the desired result. An included video provides pointers. Some owners ... reported that the unit is messy in operation (some leaking).
