Best Nespresso machine for lattes and flat whites?

I’m looking to buy a Nespresso which I’ll mostly use for milky coffees like lattes, cappuccinos and flat whites. I don’t want to spend a fortune, no more than £200, and I’d prefer one that uses the original pods rather than the Vertuo ones.
I’m getting bamboozled the more I read so has anyone got a recommendation?

I have a nespresso that is now 10 years old and as awesome as when I bought it. It’s this model but 10 years older. I think the main difference is the quality of the pod. I used to buy 100 in bulk from Amazon for £10. The coffee was awful and I didn’t look forward to it. I now buy Waitrose pods (£3 for 10) and it’s so delicious I prefer it to coffee shop coffee. The milk tank comes off and goes in the fridge with milk in, which is handy. It occasionally needs descaling but this is a simple enough process. And like I said, I’ve had mine for a decade and still enjoy it every single day. Seemed like an indulgent purchase when I bought it but had truly paid off.

I found this at John Lewis & Partners. What do you think?

Ooh thanks for the recommendation. That one is probably looking like the best bet for me. Only concern is I’ve read quite a few reviews saying the coffee isn’t very hot . How have you found it for temperature?
I hadn’t even thought about buying different, cheaper pods! Great to hear that the Waitrose ones are good. One reason I want Nespresso is that the decaf pods taste good and I’m trying to cut down a bit on caffeine as I’m having reflux issues 🙈
