Any reason why you want a machine with capsules? A small french press is going to be much less expensive (while also being very compact), and you can brew some fantastic coffee. A pourover with a metal filter is also not much hassle, and also less expensive in the long run.
I was going for variety, since there's so many different types of capsules.
Edit: I do understand the appeal of a French press though, I have a mini one and make some amazing espressos with it. But... yeah it gets stale after a while, since it's the same type of coffee
a french press cannot make espressos, or anything close to an espresso
if you want, you can always use different beans with your french press - yes, it’ll always be the same type of coffee, but there’s some pretty big differences in flavor
