I'm still using my humble Starbucks Barrista, purchased almost ten years ago and still going strong, faithfully producing my raw milk latte every single morning.  A friend who is looking to purchase his own system asked my advice for which one I'd buy today.  I haven't been in the market for a while so I'm not sure what's out there, but now I see that my favorite coffee shop Espresso Vivace advises the GS/3, from Franke Coffee Systems: The GS/3 dramatically resets the gold standard for performance among all espresso machines. Its performance meets and surpasses the finest high volume machines on the market today. In a tiny footprint, with water reservoir or plumb-in options, GS/3 suits high-end home use and has sufficient steam power and performance for many commercial applications including restaurants, catering, and professional offices.    [Image]   Contact your Franke regional sales manager for purchasing details.  Oh wait, I see it listed on eBay for a mere $6300.  Hmmm.  Time to raid my children's college fund?   How can I get my wife to agree.  Let's see, if I drink $4 worth of Starbucks a day, it would pay for itself in only, what, four years! Please, honey!
