I do the same, but we don't have a heating system that heats the whole house.
My home office has french doors leading to a deck, and the only way to get
heat into there is with a space heater.

It's got a decent sized-boiler - you can pull two expresso shots then
immediately go about steaming milk or pulling boiling water for an americano. 

Two things that make it larger than some others are the system for disposing
of coffee pucks and the front-mounted water reservoir. That makes it easy to
maintain the unit if it's under a counter, like mine is.
