It's not a good week for terminal kitchen appliance breakdowns in the Guest household (!)

First, the dishwasher, then the pump in my Bosch coffee machine! It's only 18 months old, and Bosch don't offer a repair service. It's scrap.

Fortunately, it looks as though John Lewis will refund my outlay as its within their 2 year guarantee period (they can't provide a direct replacement).

So, what to choose - and, more importantly, a bean-to-cup machine that can actually be repaired should the worst happen in future.

Does anyone have experience of owning a particular brand of bean-to-cup coffee machine that developed a serious fault and was then successfully repaired by the manufacturer?
