    The BES980 oracle is on Black Friday sale on Amazon for $1759, in case that fits the budget - otherwise the 878 will be even cheaper.

    Or get the Lelit if you want something more solid...

        Fair call - I didn't realise the oops.

        The best mechanic my Yammy 11+ (stretched to fit me properly, DCP Concorde fairing set up by Comair wind tunnel) ever had was a diminutive 19 yo woman... Even if she had to hit the horn when returning to the workshop so someone could catch her.

            Hi Erimus,

            Thank you for your suggestion. I have been looking at the Barista Pro but don’t like that I have to stamp my coffee. I feel like I’m just going to make a huge mess in the mornings.

                Thank you JetBlack Espresso. Had a look into that model. Problem is that I have to wait for it to warm up for 5 minutes. It seems less convenient and a little messy as I have to tamp the coffee.

                  I can be handy but I would say my hubby is worse than me. I honestly just want to keep it really simple and have minimal mess.

                    Thank you WarrenK. I’ll definitely be looking at extended warranty. Thanks for that excellent tip!

                      All coffee machines will make a slight mess. If by stamp you mean tamp, it's no real hardship. The 878 will make comparable coffee as the Oracle for less than half the price. Some Pod machines can be messy too, with their milk frothers, yuk!
                      A fully automatic machine will not clean itself, so you're not gaining anything going that route apart from emptier pockets.

                        Don't be too fussed about the five minutes, anything less than that isn't true. You actually need to wait for the portafilter (the bit holding the coffee) to warm up. There is a little mess with all of the suggestionsbut less effort than cleaning an auto.

                          You can say that again.

                          For the auto, clean the microfibre cloth, fill 2 10-litre buckets with water, one also with detergent, spray off loose dirt, wipe from detergent bucket, rinse cloth in other bucket, rinse off the suds...and that's just for the bonnet.
