One tip is how to leverage the strength of the dollar to save a couple hundred bucks. You can order some of the good stuff from a retailer in Italy, Espresso Coffee Shop. I think that makes the stuff grey market in the US, so I wouldn’t order an espresso machine from them, but I just ordered a Eureka Specialita. Even with shipping it was about $180 below the cost of any domestic retailer. I’ll let you know when it comes in if it was a legit deal.

I ordered it yesterday during the noon our our time, and UPS just notified me that it was delivered to UPS at about 9 am Italy time this morning, and has already cleared import customs. It should be delivered on Monday. That's much faster than the US retailers.

Ordered it on January 31, and it was shipped from Italy to my door, delivered Monday, February 5. No hitches or glitches at all. Grinder, once dialed in, works great, is very quiet and super easy to use.
