Hi Mark,

Check out the Saeco Espresso machine I bought for my parents (in
Europe):
at http://bestespressomachine.blogspot.com
it grinds beans, low maintainance (just make sure to clean the coffee
grit disposal when it says so!) and makes 12 espressos before the
disposal is full

In case you have another choice, please let me know,

Thanks
Stef
