Good call. Before getting our Giotto we went around the shops sampling test shots from a whole bunch of different super-auto machines. Most of them made coffee that tasted worse than what we made in our Moka pot. And the steaming facility was crap, bordering on useless. The only super-autos that we tried that tasted half-good were Jura, Gaggia, and maybe a higher end Saeco model. You're far better off using a moka pot and stovetop frother, unless you want to spend close to a thousand or more on a proper machine, because that's what you'd have to shell out to get something that makes good coffee, can actually steam milk properly, AND won't fall apart in six months.
Enjoy!
