As someone who works at the Enterprise Help Desk at Starbucks, this thread has been an interesting read.

I imagine it has nothing to do with Star Trek: The Next Generation or Battlestar Galactica sadly.

Unfortunately not. All we do here at the EHD is troubleshoot when the store registers or wifi go south, or when something breaks at the roasting plants.

My dad is really into espresso after my cousin left her espresso machine behind after she lived with us for a few months. The thing is it's an older machine and is showing its age. I want to get my dad a new one for Christmas.

Can anyone recommend a good espresso machine?

You're going to need to give a price range. Also keep in mind that "good" in terms of espresso machine, you're talking $1000. You can get capable ones however starting around $300. Anything below that and they're really mediocre at best.

I am willing to spend $300 - $600 if that helps.

I'd look at Gaggia. They're typically the most recommended in that price range. I have an older version of this one and it works very well for the price. The site below also has a promo going on for 20% off Gaggia units, so it brings it down to a pretty reasonable price.

Does your dad have a good grinder to go with it?

Yeah, he got a good grinder a while ago, no need to worry about that.

So it looks like this machine does a lot of other stuff besides making espresso; is there any machine that does just espresso?
