Has anyone got an integrated bean to cup coffee machine they are really happy with?

Just that really - ours has always been really crap and has finally died so I have a standard coffee machine hole to fill but would really like something that doesn't just produce brown water but provides me with a really good cup of coffee to brighten up my days 😀Has anyone got one they are genuinely happy with?

Let me be your saviour :)

I went in-store to a John Lewis recently and was greeted by a lovely employee helping me with Siemens coffee machines, so easy to use and genuinely a really good cup of coffee (huge coffee fanatic myself so this was a major necessity!!)

There's a deal on right now in John Lewis for one that's nearly half the price,
Siemens TQ515GB9 Coffee Machine, Black, would defo recommend xx

DH treated himself to this a couple of years ago. He is very happy with it - it's used daily and he's never had any issues. My only criticism is that it's quite noisy when grinding the beans.

We just have a bog standard De Longhi one and it’s the dogs! Four coffees daily between DH and I and it’s going strong after about 4 years.

It’s not super pretty like some that cost £££ but it works perfectly.

I have a Gaggia Brera that is now nearly 10 years old & I love it.

Thanks for all the replies so far. I am however looking for any recommendations on integrated/built in machines so that I can replace the useless one currently built into my kitchen.

We used to have an integrated bosch machine. Then we moved house and didn't want to put one in new kitchen.

I didn't think the coffee from the integrated machine was that bad until I bought a Sage Barista and the difference in quality is huge. Apparently integrated machines can't grind the beans to the best size for decent espresso because the brewing unit would get constantly blocked.

If you're able to, I'd stick a microwave or something else in the space and get a decent countertop one because integrated ones defo aren't worth the £1600+ they cost.

We have a Miele integrated. I don’t drink coffee and have no idea how to use it, but my husband and kids love it. I think it was pretty expensive, but worth it.

Edited to add we also have a Sage machine in the utility which probably gets used more.
