Coffee machines

I'm thinking of getting a real coffee machine, one that grinds the beans also, can anyone recommend? Must be small and have clear instructions on how to use it - or a YouTube video!

Sage bean to cup is good. It's expensive but we got ours on eBay 2nd hand. Still excellent. I got really into different beans.

delonghi autentica (comes in various models) has a small footprint and is good. I got a slightly older model on amazon for cheaper; you can watch it and wait for sales. I got one that foams the milk automatically as I like cappuccino; it grinds the beans; it has a separate compartment for already ground coffee so that you can make decaf- those were the three things I was looking for. It doesn't make lots at once and has a small tank etc, but that's fine as it's just me here, and I'd rather have a small footprint on my counter.

They all need lots of regular maintenance - filling, cleaning, emptying, descaling, etc. but I guess that's true of lots of coffee machines.

I've got a Gaggia Classic, which I bought refurbished (used) from the manufacturer. It is your basic old school espresso maker so no fancy gadgetry to go wrong. Easy to use, easy to clean and built like a tank. Lovely coffee too!
