Well none of them really and especially not the Krups nespresso machine, if you buy one of those...I will cry with dispair.

Bean to cup = bad

If your determined to get one, then not much I can say to convince you otherwise, except that if you spend $300 or $3000, they all have one thing in common....they make a poor beverage.

If I have convinced you not to get a bean to cup, then

Espresso machine + Grinder = good

Minimum starter type machine = rancilio silvia and iberital MC2 or similar

Better setup for longer term = Macap MC4 or better (grinder + HX machine of some kind (expobar pulser or leva, Izzo Vivi, La Scala etc.. etc)

Good luck

thats some good advice above, remember the \"bean to cup=bad\" and \"espresso + grinder = good\" thing....
