Price: $150 (MSRP is $350). I've seen these going for $175 or $200 on Ebay, but not having to deal with Ebay and keeping this machine in the Stanford community is apparently worth at least $25 to me.

I am selling a Starbucks Barista Espresso Machine. This is a high end, semi-automatic machine that is well rated. It's one of the best sub-$400 machines out there. You can read some consumer reviews here:

http://coffeegeek.com/reviews/consumer/starbucks_barista.

The machine is manufactured by Saeco, which is a reputable high-end espresso machine manufacturer (you can find Saecos at many coffee shops), and uses a reliable single boiler construction, and the exterior is stainless steel. It has a large (96 oz.) water reservoir that's refillable without removing it. The top of the machine is a cup warming tray. This machine is reliable, easy to maintain, and will last a long time.

I bought this machine new last summer, so it has been lightly used for about a year. It's in great condition (and works exactly the same as the day I bought it), and has been recently decalsified. The machine is cosmetically perfect except for some (unavoidable) scuffing on the polished chrome top (see picture for details). I'm selling this because I may not have room for it in my new dorm.

I'll deliver it to anywhere around the Stanford area, and include a personal introduction and tips on how to get the most out of the machine.

Here's whats included:

1. The espresso machine

2. Portafilter

3. Cup for coffee grounds

4. Portafilter adapter for coffee pods

5. Coffee grounds measuring spoon

6. Group head cleaner

7. (Bonus) Stainless steel tamper (bought off amazon for $37)

8. Delivery (if reasonably close to Stanford) and a personal demonstration on how to make great espresso drinks
