They vary a lot in price and the Essenza Mini has a smaller reservoir than the Pixie (next machine up) and a smaller waste bin. You would have to step up to a more expensive machine if you wanted milk based drinks, but it just might be better to get a separate frother if that’s important to you. Summary: you aren’t losing much by going with their cheapest one.
The coffee you buy is going to be the expensive part if you don’t choose wisely. You may even get a cheaper nespresso capsule compatible machine in Europe if you really want to save some money.
For versatility, I use an Aeropress (everyday) more than my regular delonghi semiauto (once a week or once every other week)
