I don't have a machine at home, but I am a barista/roaster at a local shop called Black Sheep Coffee. I run shots through a Rancilio Classe 8 3 grouphead machine. It is fully manual, no auto steam or pour. I usually start my day off with a quad.
 
This weekend I scored a full Gaggia set-up for $150. Includes a MDF grinder and Baby espresso machine, along with the tray/drawer setup for them to sit on. They're older machines but hardly used. The grinder sells for $350 locally, and the machine (current version) sells for about $500.

Bought them for the grinder, as I didn't have a proper burr grinder, but I may end up keeping the Baby as well. It has a solid stainless steel HEAVY non-pressurized portafilter which would be nice to play with and learn how to get a proper shot without the aid of my cheater Saeco Aroma portafilter.

Oh, and these days I'm buying 49th Parallel Epic Espresso from my local shop Crema (the Junction in Toronto). I believe Dark Horse in Toronto uses 49th Parallel espresso as well, and they make some of the best coffee in the city.
