espresso machine with grinder

Can anyone recommend a good espresso machine + grinder?

I have a budget of $ 1,000 in total. I researched on the net in recent weeks and I know I want a semi-automatic and a Burr grinder. I worked at the cafe several times in the past, so I am familiar with the machines of large industrial, but I'm not sure how to compare consumer machines. Some advice from someone who actually owns one would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

You might consider a Rancilio Sylvia - it is for a small office or home, but comes with the same quality portafilter and group pro that commercial machines complete. Sylvia-failure of approximately U.S. $ 500, I bought a $ 200 Breville on Sylvia only because of money ... I really had my heart set on a Sylvia. I used to run a coffee bar and I miss my old Rancilio Classe 10, so that Sylvia would have been perfect. As a grinder, I think Rancilio also makes one called Rockies, and if I on a table grinder work well Rancilio espresso machine with the same manufacturer. You are right to seek a grinder Burr, however, because they provide much more consistent grind quality than a blade grinder.
