Espresso maker recommendations? (self.coffee)

I'm looking for a single head mid-range espresso maker for my workplace (Canada); two of our three people are real coffee fans (one used to own a cafe) and so I need something pretty special. Figured it's a good topic to, uh, try to get things brewing a bit here in the new community. Anyone got a specific recommendation?

Honestly I don't really have a specific budget, it's more that I shouldn't just dive for the highest end stuff.

Fully automated stuff always worries me for longevity. how long have you had yours, is it wearing well?

Going strong at two years. I do all of the maintenance recommended in the manual (which is honestly not that much work), and I make sure to leave it open after I've finished making coffee for the day so that it dries out and doesn't leave it gross and moist inside.

I specifically avoided the one that froths the milk since I figured it would be a nightmare to clean.
