Coffee machine on the cheap but tastes nice?

Hi all.

I do like my coffee tho its instant but i do like cappuccino and stuff when im out and about.

I have thought about a coffee machine for awhile now but have been put off by the expense. I was wondering if their is a machine that would suit me in a few ways as in cheap to buy cheap to run and easy to clean or require no cleaning as i hate cleaning lol.

So is there any out there for a budget that would be around £30-50 that's cheap to run i.e buy coffee thats nice and lots of verities to try with the machine also adapting to different types of coffee being made and makes a good cappuccino. Then the final requirement, little to no maintenance i.e cleaning. Oh and would really like nice big mugs to use not tiny cups as i prefer my coffee drinks to by large and last awhile.

How much is the coffee to buy for these machines, im hoping not that much more than say £3 for a decent amount of cups of coffee like i get with 200g of instant coffee provides.

Btw i dont want to grind the stuff myself if possible as i dont like things that take effort (yep totally lazy) so if there are easy ways to do it then i want to do it that way like small packets u just stick in make sure water and milk is in and then press the button.

Doesnt look like a one for a large mug to fill. Also does it do hot milk for the drinks?

Lookin at amazon the t discs look expensive like 8 drinks for 10 quid which seems really high cost when i was hoping it be like 10 discs or whatever for £3. Is it really that expensive for these types of machines i thought it was maybe just slightly more expensive than 200g instant which gives like 20-30 cups of coffee for 2-4 quid ish. So if i drink say in a usual day 4-5 cups of coffee or tea a day, its gona be expensive for someone lookin to move from instant coffee on the cheap.

All i wanted was to have a way to do cappuccino on the cheap at home. Not bothered about espressos etc tho maybe latte might be nice i dunno.

Was considering the phillips thing someone mentioned awhile ago as they have the ability to buy a filter so u dont need the pods and can just buy pre ground coffee in bulk for it. Tho not sure how cappuccino are made with that machine per say to the tassimo thing which all the guess works done with the bar code methods.

Is this a decent one to get, i was thinking of getting this, using a coffeeduck so i dont need to get the expensive pods and get ground coffee (not sure what type id need to start buying tho).

Is that coffee any good for the machine seems cheap and 250g which i duno how it compares with how many cups it makes compared to 200g instant does.

Edit - Hmm doesnt seem that version has the milk section on front like i thought it had.

Any good, seems has a lot of features for small price, hotukdeal comments were saying it wasnt bad. Just wondered if its worth it over say the phillips senso thats going for 39.99 on argos atm. I do like the idea that this one is designed for ground coffee not pods, has a steamer for milk frothing for cappachinos and is stainless steel. Tho when i looked on utube the thing isnt adjustable for large cups so id have to use a medium cup or buy one i guess for it.
