Hi All,
We are designing a new house & I have the opportunity to allow for a plumbed in machine. I will have an under bench filtration system with a tap to the sink for flushing & drinking water. I am imagining a washing machine type tap mounted to the wall (via filter, of course) for the coffee machine, is this the normal way of doing things or does it need to come through the bench?
Do plumbed in machines require a drainage/overflow hose, if so does that need to be through the bench, or can it dangle into the sink? I am happy to empty & wash the drip tray each day as I do now, so I’m not fussed about allowing for that.
Your thoughts please,
Coffee Mum

I was only considering (without much research) upgrading the VBM Junior to one of its big brothers, or maybe a Rocket Evoluzione. I agree that beside the stove top isn't a great place, I think I'd like to keep my benchtop bling clean & slightly out of sight, rather than front & centre & exposed to daily kitchen muck. BTW, "Dog house" at my new place is going to be 3x4m, with access from inside, heating & cooling, (must be getting soft in my old age)
) before anything happens, but I'll post pictures once its all done.
