OT: Espresso machines


I know this is off topic for the A'gon, but I thought my fellow gear enthusiasts had an opinion.  I'm looking for a simple,  narrow espresso machine.  Reliability is important.  I have a Nespresso Vertuo which I really like but lately I've been roasting my own coffee and wanted a more traditional machine.

Opinions?

I use Fellow Opus grinder but I don’t do espresso. Happy with it. For espresso one of my friends uses Gaggia for the last 10 + years and the espresso is delicious - I had it many times. 
For me at home it’s either Cafe Cubano in a Bialetti stovetop moka pot or French Press. When I’m in a hurry Nespresso classic. Narrow, consistent and convenient. Not a bad cup actually.
