Reputedly (if you did go to a proper coffee forum rather than a contracting one), separate grinder and espresso machine is the optimal way to go, but it'll take more time than the Bialetti you've already decided is too time-consuming. I'd recommend a beans-to-cup machine (I use a Gaggia personally, but haven't properly tried to compare De Longhi etc.) Decent coffee, and I like being able to choose a range of different coffees (I'd recommend Roast&Post) rather than being limited to what Nescafe have seen fit to put into their pods.
My wife did win a Nespresso machine but it was just a bit disappointing compared to the Gaggia, so we gave it away. Wasn't bad coffee by any means though, it was just not as good.Comment

I've had a de'longhi bean to cup machine for the better part of 10 years (facebook recently reminded me of the anniversary). You can set the grind coarseness, how much coffee is used per portion, and how hot the water is. Makes a nice cuppa with a good crema
This is the modern version of it (mine is black)

Sage Barista and Aeropress for me. www.redber.co.uk for the beansI was an IPSE Consultative Council Member, until the BoD abolished it. I am not an IPSE Member, since they have no longer have any relevance to me, as an IT Contractor. Read my lips...I recommend QDOS for ALL your Insurance requirements (Contact me for a referral code).Comment

Once you have the machine, it is a slippery slope, you start looking at the beans from artisan roasters.
Why spend all that money on a decent machine to put in cheap supermarket coffee.
