The lower end of automatic espresso machines is quite affordable. You can buy a new DeLonghi Magnifica ESAM 4200 for under 300€ and with the right settings and good beans that'll make better coffee than you can get at Starbucks.

Better coffee than at Starbucks is extremely low bar. Any espresso machine with good quality beans will do better than starbucks because they use low grade beans (and mostly roasted to death). Unless US starbucks is somehow very differen from the european one.
