Coffee machine

[8bit]

We're having an extension done, partly comprising a new dining kitchen. I'd like to get a decent coffee machine. Key requirements are a milk frother, using either fresh beans or pre-ground coffee, and reliable. Out of those two, preferably grounds as I drink normal coffee but my wife prefers decaff.

We had a look on the John Lewis website last night just for ideas and came away from that somewhat bewildered. Anyone able to recommend anything?

I bought one of these recently, and can't fault it:

It has a built in grinder, and you can also use pre ground coffee if you wish.

I have had a Siemens B2C machine for 4 years, it gets used a lot and so far hasn't missed a beat.

As is the same for most of these machines you fill the hopper with your choice of bean, but it also has the ability take enough ground coffee for a single cup.

I believe it was actually made by Jura, which is what I'll be looking at when it finally packs in.
