    We have a Sage machine, it grinds, tamps and you manually move the holder to the group head and make single or double espresso as well as other coffees. 
    We've had many machines over the years, all traditional machines and this is the best apart from a plumbed in commercial machines that took a metre of worktop space!
    FIL has a pod machine, the coffee is not as good as ours although it's many times better than instant.
    I don't like the pod machines personally, for waste & taste reasons but FIL is 88 and it works for him.

    This Machine or (the latest version of it) will do all the things you want. It has a frothy milk dispenser as well, though its not attached in the pic. You just press a button and it does it all for you, starting with grinding the beans  You can select the strength the size, the level of froth, flat milk or no milk etc etc so far its made 2292 cups

    I agree with this, the notion that a coffee bag is like an espresso is like saying Ben Nevis is the same as Everest - yes, they're both mountains, but one is substantially bigger than the other.
    I think a better metaphor would be:

    "Hey everyone, I'm looking for a race car. Please could people recommend what car to buy?"
    "Lamborghini goes fast"
    "Ferrari also goes vroom"
    "Lol don't listen to them, a Smart car gets you from A to B just fine."
