I had the same problem Gruss. Bought an inexpensive espresso machine and did not know how to use it very well. I read the instructions but still could not get my lattes to taste as good as Starbucks or Seattle's Best. So I went to my local Starbucks and while the brew master was making my latte, I asked her how to make a good one at home. She explained to me that the most important things are the quality of the bean, selecting a bean that was roasted for espresso, making the espresso itself, and how to steam the milk, including the optimal temp for it. So I practiced over the weekend and lo and behold, I was able to turn out a latte almost as good as Starbucks. With a better machine I am sure that I could produce something as good as theirs, but since the good ones are over $500.00, I need a windfall of some green to convince my wife I need one of these. LOL. Maybe I will let her buy a new chair for the house or something.
