If you love fresh coffee but don't have the time or inclination to use a manual espresso machine, you need a bean-to-cup coffee machine. These smart appliances automate some or all of the coffee-making process, so you don't have to get bogged down in the technicalities of grind sizes and brew times.
The best bean-to-cup coffee machines have a good quality grinder that offers lots of settings (ideally with flat, ceramic burrs for grinding espresso nice and fine) and a boiler that keeps the water temperature stable (and ideally lets you control it too). It should also generate an optimal nine bars of pressure, and have a quality automatic steam wand with temperature control. It's a lot to ask.
