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?

I have a Londinium R24 and a Decent. I'm not sure if they are mid-range but I love both. The Decent has taught me so much about espresso making. The Londinium makes insanely good espresso consistently. Both offer flexibility that allows you to make anything at any roast level, assuming you pair it with a good grinder. If everyone likes medium to dark roasts, I'd suggest investing more in the grinder and getting a reliable E61 group.

Agreed on the grinder thing. Oddly enough one of my main criteria for that is just going to be "does it not make a huge mess, because this counter space is very small" though.
