I had a look at this machine today and it seems pretty reasonable for the price ($198 at big double-you). I swapped out the basket with one from a Breville bes250 (which I was also considering, but the portafilter seems really light and cheap compared to the sunbeam) and it fit perfectly, so I'm assuming the single wall ones you can buy from breville will also work.
Has anyone tried this machine with proper baskets? I have a semi decent grinder (em0480) and access to fresh beans so there's no problems there. I'm not looking to pull god-shots, I just want something that I can learn on and will make decent shot for a few years until I can afford a better setup.
