Get a moka pot at that price range.

Also La Pavoni isn't really "the big boss" but they're nice home machines. Big boss would be something like La Marzocco or Kees van der Westen.

pic related. it's like a mini percolator

I've got a "3c" one. Tips:
- Don't use soap and water to clean, a thin layer of coffee oil will protect your drink from metal flavors
- Pre-heat water in a kettle first, pour into base to the bottom of the pressure gasket. Starting from cold water in the moka pot itself leads to metal flavors
- Use fresh-ground coffee, not quite as fine as espresso grind, but slightly finer than paper filter.
- Pour ground coffee into filter, lightly mounding in the center, make sure no grounds are on metal rim, do not tamp down
- Let coffee flow until liquid touches the bottom of V-shape spout (color will be of whipped honey). Dip moka pot base into cold water to prevent over-extraction.
- Easiest to clean right away, before coffee dries/stains metal
