    If you like coffee, then go for a bean to cup machine.

    Probably good advice, but maybe not very money-saving!
    I paid £200 for my machine back in 2020 during Covid, as was drinking at home all the time. 

    As were we all.  Oh... you meant coffee.

    If you like coffee, either buy a proper espresso machine for £500+, or a good quality cafetiere for £30.

    One can get a good espresso machine for less than that, but it will just be an espresso machine, no milk processing, no multiple coffee options etc.

    It's been busy at three cups a day for 6 mths now, plastic construction is a bit weedy but the brewing engine and grinder seem solid enough. Which? Best Buy, FWIW.
