Can anyone please recommend a coffee machine for me to gift someone? Something medium range would be great - nothing too basic but nothing too extravagant either!
Are you looking for bean to cup, or a capsule (such as Nespresso) machine? We have used the Nespresso machines for years and find them very good and relatively inexpensive (between £150 - £250 depending on whether you include the milk frother/warmer), although the pods are quite pricey. Peter Jones normally give a two year warranty which is a bonus.
We also have a Nespresso machine - the Sage one which allows you to heat milk via wand but is all part of the same machine. It gets the milk v hot which we like. Has been very reliable. Bought in J Lewis.
