If you have a passion for coffee, though, this might be just the machine you need, and would probably even work well in a small coffee house.

Amazon reviewed it and said it is “an excellent machine for the exacting home barista, the Capresso C1500 is engineered for maximum user choice and meticulously consistent results. Built with an 18-bar power pump, the C1500 grinds, tamps, and brews a shot of espresso in 50 seconds. It also automatically froths milk or delivers hot water without the waiting period of lesser machines, thanks to its dual 1450-watt ThermoBlock heating system. In addition, a six-setting solid steel conical burr grinder and a two-step pre-infusion cycle ensure optimum flavor, perfect crema, and ideal aroma.”
