It's not "professional grade" but a Moka pot does a pretty good imitation of espresso without so much hassle.
Steamed milk still needs to be handled separately.
We've tried the Moka Pot but the espresso seems to be more bitter than this lever unit. I've read that boiling water is the enemy of good espresso. My biggest issue with espresso is, I don't like espresso, therefore really don't have a good handle on what good espresso should taste like. I usually give it to the bride and get her opinion. Though I'm getting better at the feel of the lever, the visual of the shot and the smell.
