bean to cup coffee machine

[PositronicRay]

Just back from visiting some friends and I'm a convert, after yrs of our old filter.

So here's the rub they have a Jura E8 machine, excitedly googled this then had to pick myself up off the floor!!

Any more budget orientated machines, that'll still do a good job?

I also followed the steer from the PH masses and went for the De'Longhi Magnifica ESAM4200 machine recently. Great machine for a very sensible price. I now have Americano's and Macchiato's that we think taste better than what we get from Costa! The expresso's are pretty good too.

Bought from here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B001EOMZ5E/ref...

That sounds great, does it look okay? In the photo the fascia and controls look a bit..............well.................plasticy.

I've had a Sage Barista for a few years now - use it every day and it's great. I really could not want more in a coffee maker.

This is going to sound a bit crap, but things endorsed by famous cheffy types irritate me.

I know exactly what you mean. I can only really offer an opinion but to me, it's appearance isn't cheap and it feel solid to use. If you're anywhere near Crowthorne Berks , you are welcome to pop in.

Thanks.

We're Warwickshire, so a bit far, sounds reassuring anyway.


ETA

Amazon also have this one spec looks the same

Just too much choice man.

Picked up the Argos jobbie this morning

a) It's black
b) Quiet grinder

Very impressed so far.
