If you can afford a Jura, they're just as easy as a Keurig, better tasting, and a much less wasteful. You can use any beans you want, too.

At four cups per day it pays for itself in about two years.
It's less convenient than a super-automatic, I think, which it sounds like you're referring to.
I have a Jura Micro 9 [1] (bigger brother to the Micro 1 [2]), and it's literally just the button of a button, even to make a latte. They're both amazing, the closest to what I imagine you'd get if Apple had made espresso machines.
It grinds and steams, has lots of easily-changed adjustments, and the only regular maintenance is emptying the grounds, which it will tell you to do when required, and descaling every year or so. No waste aside from the bag of coffee beans every now and then.
