[seattlecoffeegear.com](http://seattlecoffeegear.com) has a large selection, and also a lot of demo videos and info. I started with a Rancilio Silvia, still have it at work, but after several years upgraded to a better, bigger machine (Diletta Bello). That has been totally great. You will need to buy a good grinder too. But, it is so much better to be able to make a great espresso or mocha at home.
