I love my Nespresso machine. It makes great espresso but also yummy lattes and cappuccinos. Unless you live in a major metropolitan area (with a retail store) you'll have to order the capsules direct from Nespresso.
But it is obviously low tech, not even a little automatic, and doesn't do anything but make espresso. I currently use a superautomatic which is very cool, but seems to require a lot of maintenance. And I am not mechanical enough to take the damn thing apart and get it back together - I rely on the wonderful owner of the machine to keep it going. It seems to gum up about twice a year (it's a very expensive Saeco).
