So I was looking at all the popular espresso machines (Delonghi EC155, Mr. Coffee ECMP50, ECM160, etc), but everyone keeps saying they leak, rust, and even fucking explode over time.
Does anyone know of any budget espresso machines that aren't grenades or rust tea makers?
I'm really willing to get a machine worth 300 dollars, but is it that fucking hard to find a reliable machine? Pretty much every machine I look at has 3.5 stars on Amazon because of manufacturing problems.
What are some reliable machines for a few hundred dollars or less? I know coffeefags will tell me to spend 5000 USD for a half-decent machine, but I just want one that will work okay.

You post suggests that you're over caffeinated. Perhaps you should consider paragraphs.

Not gonna make it bro
Search for capresso EC pro. It haves 2 types of portafilters one pressurized and one non pressurized. It's the best amateur entry machine. My recommendation is to invest a little more in a grinder.
I used my shitty Breville and dial hacked it to make the water hotter during extraction. Made great espresso.
