Has anyone had any succeess making espresso with a Mr Coffee type machine?!

Question: My first espresso machine was a Mr Coffee one and boy did was it horrible. I always thought that great espresso comes from a good barista and not just a good espresso machine, but I was totally wrong.
The espresso never came out right and I had trouble getting the milk to steam to a decent temp...not to mention that the wands would never create good froth on the milk.

I don't recommend to anyone to go out and buy a cheap Mr Coffee machine, but rather to save up money at get one that is at least $100.
