bean to cup coffee machines
So John Lewis have a bunch of trade-in offers on DeLonghi coffee machines until the end of the month. We have an old delonghi machine which is quite tired -leaks a lot etc. Lasted pretty well though. So we were looking at this as an opportunity to replace.
But their models are a minefield. Delonghi alone appears to have four different sub-brands, but even using their website compare tool I can't work out the practical differences. They have prima donna, Eletta, autentica and magnifica. Within each brand they have a few price levels - with/without milky frothy thing etc. Anyone got one and can recommend one over the other? I'm leaning towards the prima donna as its slimmer than the others and has front loading water. Probably don't need the milk frother though as we don't usually drink milky coffee at home |

I didn't go for the Prima Donna as I didn't think it was worth the premium. I got a Magnifica 360 and love it:

Prima donna xs £545 Autentica plus £500 Eletta cappucino £450 The autentica is coffee only, the other two have a milk container thingy. Our current machine I think is the same one as your brother in laws - been very happy with it but it is noisy. Any improvement there will be welcome |
