Forget the coffee bag type ones - tassimo etc.
For what you ask for, I would go for a nespresso-based machine, then get the 3rd party pods. They make a cracking shot of espresso. @jedi_toaster runs a branch of Costa IIRC, and yet he has one of these things at home!
Only issues I have with it are the steam wand isn't all that powerful - but it was the same with my last machine. Also, the "tea" button - i.e. hot water - isn't boiling water, it comes out at 80C. So its useless for tea (unless green)
Wait till black friday if you can - there will be massive discounts.

I sold my massive one, and bought a slimline one instead. Delonghi Authentica Plus - Its barely bigger than some of the nespresso machines:First I would go into somewhere like currys though and have a look at the size of bean to cup machines, they aren't all massive.
