Answer 2

I LOVE my DeLonghi Magnifica 3300, and it's usually one of the very highest rated too .....  It has a bean reservoir, and grinds fresh for each cup(s);  a water reservoir, so you just push a button to brew;  a ground dispenser reservoir (so you don't have to empty grinds all the time);  a frother;  you can select strength or how large the cup(s) is ........  You can get them at Bed, Bath & Beyond ... or Linen & Things, and probably Williams Sonoma or Crate & Barrel.  You can also find them NEW in the box, on eBay.  Expect to pay at least $700;  and I think the MSRP is closer to $1300+
