La Pavoni
No idea where to get them in US, but you could get them for about $1k in Norway.
Edit: Didn't see the part about not using a lot of money.

oooohhhh he is so right! la Pavoni kicks some major ass. I think they are the manufacturers of the Starbucks branded espresso machine, same parts used.
Another option that I explored is Francis Francis. I think it has really stunning design, but it made pretty [censored] espresso.
