    I'm torn between the Breville and a Gaggia Brera, a fully-automatic espresso machine selling for $439, less than the Breville. The Breville is on sale for Xmas, I should make a choice soon.

    Get yourself a Moka Pot. :)

    I have a huge moka pot, think it's 6 cups. I need to get a little one for making 1-2 cups. It's almost impossible to make a good single cup with the
    big models.

    Have you considered trying to repair your current machine? It
    may be a simple component swap, or just clearing some corrosion.

    I looked around the inside with a multimeter and a magnifying glass, and didn't see anything that jumped out at me.

    Hmm.. You said it was a ground fault? I wonder if there are
    any electrolytic caps in the power supply. Those may short to ground.

    Small ones can be interesting.. a bit hit and miss on how well they actually function. Experience tells me to avoid super budget versions.
