Coffee Machines - help please!

[cfc]

Hi guys,

I have searched on here and read reviews about coffee makers from Gaggia to DeLonghi, but I am more confused than ever.

What I want is:

pod and ground coffee capability

steamer/frother thing so I can make babyccino for the little ones (!)

good space under the nozzles so i can fit my tallish china there

and all the usual reliability, good looking etc. Would prefer silver/chrome.

So, as I am very new to this, can anyone help me please? It's a proper 30th birthday present from hubby, so the budget is more than it would usually be for a luxury item!

Help me please, I genuinely don't know where to begin!

We wanted the same and checked out a few before opting for a Dualit Espressivo. It does everything you have listed and my Denby tall mugs fit under the nozzles. We have had it 6 months and use it everyday - it's brilliant!

Woo hoo! Thank you, it looks perfect, gonna buy it now x
