Not exactly espresso but close - I've been using the Delonghi Alicia Electric "Moka" coffee maker for about a year. Makes delicious coffee that is very close to Espresso (no cremma). Inexpensive at about $50. Quick and pretty much fool-proof. It is virtually identical to the Bialetti 6-Cup Stovetop Moka coffee maker but you have to be careful with the Bialetti to turn off the stove at the proper moment and you don't have to worry about that with Alicia because she shuts herself off. It looks like Bialetti also makes an electric version but it's really expensive ($290) compared to Alicia.
