I buy coffee from a stall every morning on my way to work so have decided that it's worth investing in a decent coffee machine to make my own instead! Which home machine is good for lattes? Is there anything specfic I should look out for?

I've had Starbucks Barista espresso machine for probably 4 years at least. I've used it several times a day every day and its been great. I got it on sale which is a plus too. Its easy to use and steams the milk great! Just recently I had to take it in to have some valve adjusted but when I think of the thousands of lattes I've made its really been a great machine. Its definitely not the most expensive but I'm not a coffee snob so I can't find any fault with it!
