I had a DeLonghi one for a few years, until the pump broke and I decided to just use a regular coffee maker. It was really nice and convenient. Also cheaper than most of the other ones. A friend has had the same Delonghi since I got mine and his still works fine, so I may have just gotten a dud.

A Dutch friend says Saeco is the best and that he's had Saecos for the last 20 years.

Any real coffee snob will tell you that the super automatic machines are Frankensteinean monsters that make mediocre-at-best coffee and you should buy a $2000 semiautomatic machine for "real" coffee. Don't listen to them. But read http://www.coffeegeek.com/ for more of the geek perspective.
