I wanna... integrated / built in coffee machine

shona_2

Hi
I'm hoping to get a new kitchen and want to treat myself to one of these - I've looked at the AEG PE3038 and the Baumatic one.

Does anyone have a machine like this and could give me any hints at what is good etc. Or bad?

Many thanks
Shona

Does no-one have one of these?

Perhaps it's a gadget too far - even for me...

I'd love one, but haven't found a reason to replace the whole kitchen (yet )

I have one of these at the moment, which I adore:

Only thing that would improve it would be if it were plumbed in.

Only some are plumbed in - eg Baumatic, but others aren't - eg the AEG one. But I'm not sure whether it's worth the bother of getting it plumbed in...

I'm not sure it's worth having an in-built machine unless it is plumbed in!!!

It's a pain having to refill it when it's on the worktop, never mind in the wall!!!

Sorry I can't help you I have a coffee machine it probably gets used once per year, I would be wary of building in a machine that might go wrong and not be available in the same size if you want to replace it, other built in appliances are standard sizes at least.

They seem to fit in a standard microwave space. Maybe you've got a point re plumbed in one, and not having to refill it... hmmm, I'll need to rethink my layout again!
