Hi, Hard to find a really good espresso/coffee maker combo. I think it has something to do with how an espresso machine is constructed and how that differs from a regular coffee machine. For the espresso/cappuccino machine, definitely go with the Pump type which allows you to refill the water to make a second cup. With a steam type machine, you have to wait for the machine to cool a bit (steam to cool off) before opening to refill to make a second cup or risk scalding oneself, ouch, and that is speaking from experience) DeLonghi EC702 15-Bar-Pump Espresso Maker, Stainless $162.01 [Amazon: DeLonghi EC702 15-Bar-Pump Espresso Maker, Stainless] Lello 45920 Ariete Cafe Roma Deluxe Espresso/Cappuccino Maker with Built-In Coffee Grinder $299.99 [Amazon: Lello 45920 Ariete Cafe Roma Deluxe Espresso/Cappuccino Maker with Built-In Coffee Grinder] here is a combo, a bit pricey, review are not great. Krups XP2280 Combi Espresso and Coffee Machine with Precise Tamp, Stainless Steel $370.00 [Amazon: Krups XP2280 Combi Espresso and Coffee Machine with Precise Tamp, Stainless Steel] Lello 1375 Ariete Cafe Prestige Coffee Maker $199.99 [Amazon: Lello 1375 Ariete Cafe Prestige Coffee Maker] You may have to get two dedicated machines :( Cheers
