Which espresso machine (up to £200)

[G600]

Any recommendations for a coffee machine for up to £200? It's something to replace my leaky current one
Something along the lines of this http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/gaggia-r18155-12-baby...
Thanks.

Edit: I should have said, I don't need one with a grinder, already got a seperate one.

I would buy a second hand Gaggia Classic on eBay. The classic is the benchmark of entry level machines. Anything less is always going to be focused for domestic (naff) use only.

Ok, I'd rather not buy used TBH but how much difference is there between the baby and classic? this place seems to be cheapest http://www.myespresso.co.uk/product.php/420/gaggia...

My company sells gaggias but I'm not allowed to talk about it too much on here, so will drop you a pm later!

I've had a Classic for some years now and if it breaks then I'll get repaired no thoughts about getting a different one. It's simple, sturdy, easy to clean, makes a consistent cup and it looks good (the least of my concerns).

Friend of mine bought one second hand gave it a service and has been working flawlessly since (>5 years ago).

Classic it is thanks guys

I was given a broken, 8 year old classic. Don't think it had ever been cleaned or serviced.

New solenoid and it's as good as new. That was 3 years ago.

You do see very little used ones popping up on ebay quite often. It's the sort of thing a lot of people get given and use twice or buy and then can't be bothered with the effort.

This company I've dealt with a few times, and they have always delivered and I've been happy with their service.
