Having recently graduated from instant coffee and currently being stuck with using using tea infuser to make coffee I'd like to know what to look for when doing research on coffee machines

If location is relevant I'm in Queensland, Australia

Edit: got a breville barista express

For drip machines, there is one that really stands out, the Mocca Master. It's so much better than any other drop machine it's insane.

That said, get a burr grinder (old ones are totally okay, as long as they have burrs, not those "knifes") that will bring much better coffee than any machine or expensive system can.

The fellow Aiden is now a real competitor but with some fuss factor involved.

I agree, if you want a coffee "machine" this is one of life's easier decisions. Buy or start saving up for a moccamaster. I don't think you should seriously consider the Aiden without at least starting with the simpler moccamaster.
