Help choosing a bean-to-cup coffee machine

    Hi all — I know almost nothing about coffee (I’m a tea drinker), but my wife has coffee every day and I’d love to get her a bean-to-cup machine.

    Budget: €300–€400
    Drinks: Everyday coffees (americano); milk drinks are a nice-to-have but not essential
    Ease of use & cleaning: Very important
    Beans vs pre-ground: Is there such a thing as a machine that can use both beans and pre-ground

    What models should I look at in this price range, and what features matter most (grinder type, milk system, cleaning cycles, water filters, etc.)? Any pitfalls to avoid? Thanks!
