Sage fake-espresso bean-to-cup thing
"Fake" how? I've generally been quite impressed with the one that I've tried.

Didn't think Sage did anything bean to cup.
They have a Nespresso thing
And they have espresso machines that have a separate grinder, steam wand and make espresso. Some have a small heat coil in place of a boiler but they're all 'proper' espresso (and fairly well reviewed for it) -
Ok fake was a bit harsh, it does make espresso coffees but for £600 you get a stepped in-built grinder and a machine covered in proprietary parts with a 19g basket.

Recently other half's employer (she works for a family) had their in-laws over. Dad of the family starts talking about how much he likes coffee and brother-in-law inadvertently called his bluff on it by getting really excited and basically strong arming him in to buying a £600 Sage fake-espresso bean-to-cup thing to replace his Nespresso machine. I laughed.
