Office Espresso Machine - £100ish?

[Ikemi]

I love coffee. I've had a decent bean-to-cup machine at home for several years and feel it's been one of my better purchases in life! The coffee provided at work is terrible, so I use cones and filters and supply my own coffee, which friends in the office occasionally help themselves to as well ...

However I'm thinking of replacing the cones/filters with a cheapish espresso machine. My only criteria is that the machine accepts ground coffee, has a steam wand and can just about fit a normal mug underneath the spouts. Oh, and it's got to be around £100, as it could get damaged/stolen.

I had my heart on a Gran Gaggia for £100, 'cos it looks awesome! However lots of reviews mention that it leaks ... a lot. So then my attention was drawn to the Delonghi EC220CD ...

Looks about right! Can anyone suggest anything better? Does anyone have the EC220? Not a fan of pods, as I like to choose my coffees, as well as not pay huge amounts for a few cups! As others use it (... and I don't expect them to pay), I go through a lot of coffee!

Cheers!
