Also, domestic espresso machines should be seperated into boiler pressure vs pump pressure, as they make very different quality brews. A domestic eectric espresso machine with at least 15 bar pump pressure is the closest you'll get to cafe espresso. Mind you, I didn't have a single decent espresso coffee in England, and the only good stuff I did get was plunger coffee in Ambleside.
Come visit, and I will introduce you to goooood coffee. We have a city that's famous for it, for Melbourne is full of Italians and poseurs. ;-)
