Coffee machines ?

I have one of these (an Elektra T1) at the office, but feel it would be complete overkill for the home!
I just don’t bother drinking coffee at home. Much simpler and easier on the wallet.

huge boiler
but got for it
coffeeitalia are doing them for almost half price .. 1700 quid IIRC which is a steal for an elektra

In all seriousness are these machines actually any better than buying the beans you like and using a cafetiere?
as stated, its a totally different drink and not comparableI like espresso and caps with a small amount of milk
cafetiere tastes revolting to me and is a totally different thing, in fact to me it's not coffee but something else

They will produce an entirely different drink. Whether it's better or not is a matter of personal taste. I like espresso, so a cafetiere is no good to me. 
t;)).a decent grinder and then a decent HX machine (or care taklen with a single boiler) will produce coffee that is better than most cafes (easily beating the likes of starbucks, nero, costa etc..)
you need to spend a bit of money though and get freshly roasted beans
