Trying to decide on an Espresso/Coffee Machine?

I’m going away to college and while I’m not a big coffee drinker I LOVE lattes and the like. I’m trying to decide between 3 different machines.

The Nespresso Delonghi Lattissima

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000UVZ2DE/ref=s9_simh_gw_p79_d0_i2?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=0HEGR26XYP1D44K7PTCR&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938631&pf_rd_i=507846

The Breville Brewing System

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002MZYZHU/ref=s9_simh_gw_p79_d0_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-3&pf_rd_r=033CGCEGK2WJ0GDHSTYM&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938811&pf_rd_i=507846

The Nespresso Citiz Machine

http://www.amazon.com/Nespresso-D120-US-BK-NE-Automatic-Single-Serve-Limousine/dp/B002NGNHBS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1309659482&sr=1-1

I like the variety of the K-cups that the Breville offers the best, as I’m sure with over 200 different flavors for different drinks, including iced drinks, I can find something I like but if I do get that machine I’d also have to get a milk frother… Whereas the Lattissima has a frother included and the Citiz comes with one.

I guess it just comes down to what would be the best choice? I think for simpleness in mind the Lattissima would be best but as far as variety the Breville would win hands down…

On another note: The Breville supposedly has quiet-brew technology, which I’m sure my roommate would love me for whereas the Nespresso machines sound like a tractor is rolling through the room…

    Broken steamer wand? Help!?

    I have a Krups 985 Duomo Coffee & Espresso machine, and for some reason, the steamer wand isn’t working. Does anyone here know of a possible solution?

    Note: I do not own a manual. I did a little digging around, and the official Krups website will not let me access the manual. Other websites didn’t yield any helpful results either.

    Going to buy a Espresso Machine for my gf?

    My gf is an avid espresso, cappuccino, latte drinker, but she does not own an espresso machine. I am looking for one for 90 – 180 price range. There are so many online. Since I am pretty much clueless, I am seeking any insight to which one I should choose. So far I am eyeing this Delonghi model: http://www.amazon.com/DeLonghi-EC702-15-Bar-Pump-Espresso-Stainless/dp/B001CNG7RY/ref=wl_it_dp_o?ie=UTF8&coliid=I628ACDJX636B&colid=397AJJTILP813

    Any ideas for other models?

    Espresso Machine?

    I’m looking for an Espresso-Latte machine to buy my wife for Christmas. This is the first machine I’ve bought and would like some advice. Basically from what I’ve read one of the most important this is pump driven.

    The DeLonghi EC155 doesn’t seem bad. It seems to carry decent reviews. http://www.amazon.com/DeLonghi-EC155-Espresso-Maker/dp/B000F49XXG/ref=pd_sbs_k?ie=UTF8&qid=1196695533&sr=1-11

    Any other ideas and assistance?

    Thanks

    Are super automatic espresso makers worth the money?

    I was on a trip recently where my room was equipped with a Saeco Incanto Sirius. I fell in love with the ease & have recently been researching getting a super automatic machine for myself. I’ve heard that many break quickly though so before I invest that much money into a coffee maker, I would like to get some real feedback on them.

    If you have one, which brand, model? How’s the quality? Have you had any "issues" with it?

    Thanks!!
    Additional Info…

    I am a coffee fanatic/snob! I, personally have my coffee imported from Tarrazu, Costa Rica from a man who roasts the beans in his garage! It’s the best coffee I have ever tasted.

    Thanks again for all the insight. Though, I am looking for more details, like Brand (and Model), brewing quality, etc.

    What espresso machine should I get?

    I know its not much, but I’m not too picky about coffee; I’ve been doing fine on a steam operated one, but would like a pump operated one

    I’ve been looking at these two:
