I have had one of these for about 4 years now http://www.delonghi.com/en-za/products/coffee/coffee-makers/bean-to-cup/ecam-23210w-0132213095 Really simple machine and a decent price, I think it was around 3K when I bought it. It has now been upgraded to my "take on holiday" and camping etc coffee machine, as I bought a house with one of these built in. https://www.whirlpool.co.za/r/products/kitchen-home-additions/fully-automatic-built-in-coffee-machine-ace-102-ixl/852210201100 It may be fair to say that the machine is the reason I bought the house. I would never out of my own pocket spend 25K on a coffee machine but hey, it makes a damn good cuppa! I have also found that buying 1kg bags of beans from Woolworths is the best value for money I can get. They have pretty decent coffee too, again spending 400 bucks on a bag of coffee beans doesn't fit my budget
