Is this espresso machine any good?

There is an espresso machine on woot. Refurbished but it has a 90 day warranty and a great price ($100 on woot, $320 an amazon).

Seems like it would be decent, yes. Stainless boiler, 15 bar pump. In a manual machine, you basically want sturdy construction, an adequate pressure rating, and whatever aesthetic qualities you seek. Making good coffee will be in the technique.

I have a superautomatic machine because I love the convenience. Refurbs of some of the Saeco machines can be had in the $400 range and make very good espresso. Just FYI.
