    It has a boiler which is good to see (as opposed to a thermablock or something similar). For $70 probably not terrible but I doubt it’ll last long and it’s a no name brand so I’m not sure how reliable they’ll be for servicing and such. If you want a budget espresso machine, check out the DeLonghi Stilosa. I’m not sure how much it is in your local currency (I’m not American) but in Canada it’s around $150 and regularly on sale for $100 and is probably the best machine you can get for the budget end.
