Take a Look at Acorto/Concordia models. 2000s 2500s I have 2, in use for 2.5 years now. They work. 2 Grinders 1 for regular the other for...decaf..flavored beans (ugh), Built in fridge holds 2 gal of milk. Two Boilers. Press a button and a latte comes out. So simple a caveman could use it. can be set for 3 different size cups in menus. it makes Latte, Cappucino espresso and Americanos. as well as hot water on hand for Tea drinkers. Just be prepared to use 5# of beans to dial it in and check it every morning, they can produce a sour drink if you dont keep an eye on your shot time. They can be found for 1000 to 5k used. Downsides, If space is a huge issue they are large. 25 w x 25 d x 42 inches tall. its 220v min but can be adjusted if you have higher voltage with internal settings. It has lots of parts, some can be had/replaced cheap...some not so much. They need cleaned daily. ours has 40k shots on one and over 9k on the other they are on 24/7/365. aside from a few leaks and 1 pstat...they keep on trucking.
side note, dont consider a 1000 or a 1500. Its a 115v model smaller single grinder single milk single boiler, attractive? yes, but I couldnt get those to produce an acceptable drink to save my life. I ended up getting rid of it. Too much hassle.
