Is an integrated fully automatic coffee machine recommended?

I also think a built-in one is great. Unfortunately, we didn’t have space for it. The cooking school we like to go to has one from Miele. It’s great.

We have not chosen a built-in one, nor a built-in microwave. The latter always has a cooking space that is too small as a built-in variant.

Then we prefer regular appliances, which are also cheaper than the built-in versions.

If a device breaks down, we can freely decide what new one to get.

Forget that quickly. Very expensive and what kind of coffee does it make? Nothing decent. So better keep a nice spot free for a portafilter machine and get such a device. You need a bit of practice, but then you'll never be able to drink the slop from the superautomatic again.

I can only agree. And such a portafilter machine is a real eye-catcher. We don’t want to miss our Bezzera anymore.

And then in the future, people might not want to drink coffee outside the house anymore because they first realize what slop is actually being served to them...
A few months ago, I treated myself to a Rocket Appartamento with a Eureka Specialita, a dream!
I would never buy a fully automatic machine again, especially not a built-in one, not even 10 times over.

I also had a portafilter machine from Rocket at home for a while. Yes, it was beautiful. And the espresso was delicious too. In practice, that was it. Too often I just didn’t feel like going through the process. Now it’s in the office and the employees enjoy it. Everyone has to decide for themselves, for us it fits so much better this way.
