Last time I was in one, they had one or two models off in a corner.
They have a new one that's made specially for them by Kitchen Aid
that was supposed to be in stores in time for Christmas, but I haven't
checked. It's $800, so I don't really care.

Le Sur de Table is another W-S-like store, and they too have a few
espresso makers, but the brand that they carry in depth, Nespresso,
only uses pre-measured cartridges. I don't want that. Others they
carry (Francis-Francis) are over $400. Kitchens Etc. is similar.
There are on-line sources for machines in the $200-$300 range, but
that seems to be missing from the few local stores that have any stock
beyond the department store brands.
