Personally I have a Sage (which is a Breville in the UK) with a built in conical burr grinder. It grinds from beans and is a semi-automatic machine but it's so quick to use it's not really any slower than using a capsule machine but without the waste capsules. My favourite coffee brand is Illy and that comes in an easily recyclable aluminium can, so you can avoid the little plastic coffee bags too if you're careful. It was maybe a little more expensive than a high end Nespresso machine but not much more for a "real" coffee machine.
