About this deal

If you have any questions or comments about bean-to-cup coffee makers, choosing beans or anything else – let us know in the comments section. The great thing about these sites is you can read reviews from real people who’ve spent their own money on a machine. Offering 2-in-1 versatility, you can use ground coffee or grind beans in the integrated burr grinder. Considering milk texture is one of the most difficult parts of making a high-quality cappuccino, this is a welcome feature.

This allows you to make milky drinks without needing to use a steam wand, making the Siemens much more convenient. While bean-to-cup machines are designed to make coffee directly from beans, many also take ground coffee. The grinder has 13 different settings for coarseness, providing greater control over the coffee output. The Melitta E953-102 Caffeo has a variety of options, including several brew temperatures and a cup warmer.As a guide, the finer grain size, the stronger and more bitter the coffee will taste – so aim for a very fine grain for an espresso, but a more coarse one for longer drinks. Some of our partners may process your data as a part of their legitimate business interest without asking for consent. Configure the milk and coffee settings to your tastes and save them to the machine’s memory, and you can quickly replicate that perfect cup every time!

While coffee enthusiasts may love making their coffee by hand, it’s a slow process that requires patience and skill. Now, we’ve not got a machine to hand when we added this point into the review, but the documentation we’ve found on the web does seem to suggest it should be there. The stainless steel design also requires regular maintenance if you want it to maintain its stylish appearance.

Most importantly, we found that the Beko produces appetising espresso with a strong taste, decent crema, and lovely aroma (just make sure you use high-quality beans! Again, it’s not a true bean-to-cup machine, but it’s far cheaper and can still produce a tasty black coffee.

This makes the front panel look a lot cleaner and less cluttered, although we think some people might miss physical buttons. With its built-in grinder, ground coffee dispenser, extensive customisation settings and steam pipe for milk frothing, this model provides the satisfaction of producing your own espresso. Therefore there will be a slight cooling effect, but it certainly shouldn’t result in warm coffee instead of hot coffee, which is usually ‘the question behind the question’! Most of the machines on this list have various indicators for when the descaling programme should be run or drip tray emptied - but don't rely on indicators for everything.The good news is that many modern machines come with cleaning programmes that handle much of the manual cleaning – although there is always going to be some cleaning required. It also has an indicator that pops up if the water level gets too high, so you’ll always know when the tray needs to be emptied.
