Hello folks,
Being the stereotypical Engineer/IT Geek that I am, I am something of a caffeine freak. My Krups espresso machine is starting to get a bit long in the tooth and a seal is going somewhere.
With this in mind I have started to look at replacement machines, and thought that maybe it was time to advance a step or two and go for one of those automatic 'bean-to-cup' machines that grinds the beans, makes the espresso, froths the milk etc etc all with minimal input from the hung-over zombie standing in front of it.
My question is: Does anyone have one of these contraptions or have any experience/comments/recommendations to share? I don't have a gazillion pounds to spend unfortunately, so most of them are waaay beyond my means, but there are machines like a couple of the Delonghis and Krups that wouldn't necessarily require selling an organ to finance.
Thanks!
Vormulac.
