The Dolce gusto machine has been doing sterling work churning out cafe au lait but has started to leak. So the opportunity is there to replace it with a bean to cup machine BUT it must produce a better quality cafe au lait with minimal fuss or we'll be back to pods pronto. WWSTWD. Let's try and keep this to a nominal £350 budget and not require cleaning internal milk tanks.
Milk in coffee??
You've reminded me our Dolce gusto mini me leaks from under the water tank... Quick Google, one YouTube video and a replacement seal ordered for under a fiver. Hopefully job done 🤞
My MiniMe started to leak. A quick disassemble-reassemble fixed it.
@jonwe - Aprt from burn your budget and recommend a separate espresso machine and grinder? 😉
I’m a big coffee fan and have picked it up as a hobby really, but on the coffee forum I’m a member of the Melitta bean 2 cups seem well regarded whilst other brands get slated. They are a proper established coffee company more famous recently for their drippers.
Maybe up your budget a bit, for something like this? External milk tank as well.

Tell me more about the seal? We've one in the house and one in the caravan. Both now leak.
