I am looking to buy an espresso machine and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations. I would like to keep the price around 200-250.

I love these guys. They have reviews on all of their products. I bought a refurbished Gaggia "Super Automatic" machine from them almost 8 years ago. Awesome coffee machine that does everything but sing "O Solo Mio." They gave me a two year guarantee at the time, and it still works perfectly to this day.
They also have an extensive knowledge base right on their website, as well as a lot of "how to" videos.
Ours does that, too, but everything is pretty straightforward. The messages are normally limited to things like "add water", "add coffee", or "dump grounds."A friend of mine has a "super automatic" Jura. It drives me nuts, as a guest using it. "Susana, it says _________. What do I do?" It puts messages for all kinds of things.

As far as buttons, it has a big red on/off switch, and three buttons for small, medium, and large coffee. If someone with my limited intelligence can use it, anyone can.

I got mine in a thrift shop for a couple of bucks, cheap and easy, who could ask for anything more!
