Coffee lovers

[SpecialPerson]

I need a new coffee machine. I spend far too much on coffee pods so I'm thinking of getting a machine that takes coffee beans.

I don't know where to start, there are so many on the market. So I am looking for recommendations... on the best bean to machine that makes a good cup of coffee/espresso etc? Thanks

I’ve got a DeLonghi Caffe Venezia, had it for about 5 years and love it. It’s the most basic model they made at the time, no programmable options as I thought it would be less to go wrong and I would probably only use one setting. When I did my research it did seem important to ensure that the machine had a burr grinder.
I’ve probably saved a fortune over the years as I get my coffee in bulk from a company that usually supplies to the trade.
