Claire's just bought that and she's absolutely in love with it. I'll get her to give you a more considered opinion on it tomorrow.
For the best coffee in London, the Algerian Coffee Storehttp://www.algcoffee.co.uk/scripts/default.asptakes some beating.
Would def recommend the De'Longhi Icona.I bought one around 6 months ago and for its price it produces a perfect espresso. The steam arm isn't as powerful as you'd get from a much more expensive machine but is decent enough for good milk frothing.
decided to go for the De'Longhi Icona, was going to get a grinder aswell but that will cost at least £100 for a decent one
Good choice
The Krups Expert, GVX231, Burr Coffee Grinder is great for the price (around £30) - no need to pay £100+ for one..

This bad boy is amazing for the money.
Have a nespresso coffee machine, beautiful.
Nespresso just seems wrong.Surely anything with pod's would be expensive over time.+ you would not have as much choice in coffee.I have a bog standard old Krups machine, its fantastic and about 7 years old.Basically looks like the DeLonghi above...
Got a Cuisinart Bean-to-Cup, similar to this;http://www.brennands.co.uk/home-garden/kitchen/coffee-machines/bean-to-cup-machines/cuisinart-bean-to-cup-filter-coffee-maker-dgb900bc/prod_1736.html?of_tid=qTGJdYdJamxDooaVVkynlMmEbSLeXk-nw5kad4Teh0VPVQYigKyKrP0hX6Ealk6NMmmmmmmmmmmm is all that needs to be said.
That's not an espresso machine?
That it be.
