I would go to eBay and look for a used well known brand like Gaggia, not one like this that appears to have a pressurized portafilter. It is the nature of espresso makers that they have parts that need replacing now and then, especially seals. Gaggia parts ought to be easy to find. Be prepared to spend as much as possible on a good espresso grinder. I am sure lots of folks here can provide tons more useful information.I just realized I posted this in the wrong thread, and its too late to delete, I'm sorry.
If the powers that be could either move it to "coffee are you drinking" or just delete? Thank you, and again, sorry.
