Is an integrated fully automatic coffee machine recommended?

I am currently very busy with kitchen planning. I am thinking about an integrated coffee machine. Do you have one and would you do it again? Can you recommend a specific one or do you have tips on what to pay attention to? And the most important question: what about maintenance and cleaning? Do you have to remove it once a year, for example, and have it serviced?

Fully automatic coffee machines require intensive cleaning, meaning they must be cleaned constantly or else everything will mold. Therefore, I would not install a fixed one.

I also see no real advantage in it; moreover, you are extremely limited in your choice of devices, and it is more expensive.

Hmm... alternatively, we are also considering a wine cooler. Is that probably more sensible?

otherwise everything will mold.

Oh dear. No desire for that.

We have one and don’t want to be without it anymore. Finally no ugly fully automatic machine cluttering up the countertop.

Of course, you have to clean and descale it regularly. Like any other coffee machine.
