Bump. Bought a Delonghi Magnifica espresso maker about a month ago. Wasn’t cheap
but well worth it. Does the grinding, loading and disposal for you. All I have to do is fill the water tank a few times a week and empty out the spent grind bin about once a week. Otherwise I turn it on and press a button, that’s it. No grinds making a mess, rinsing the coffee pot, etc. Can make a nice crema too. I usually add a shot to 3-4 oz boiling water.

I kept the box just in case I wasn't sure and went back to drip coffee. Then I made drip coffee a few times, and in comparison it’s like I’m drinking hot water steeped in used tires. Burned the boat (threw away the box) and never turning back
