The best bean-to-cup coffee machines for a smooth pick-me-up

This silver coffee machine is the whole package with an integrated coffee grinder adjustable to seven coarseness levels, an adjustable milk frother and automatic cleaning functions.

Customer review: "I purchased this coffee machine back in January, 2013. Prior to this, I had researched the market extensively to see what was on offer. At first, I couldn't decide between the manual pump variety and bean-to-cup. But I quickly chose bean-to-cup for the convenience. Being able to wake up in the morning, flick on the machine and selecting 'Double Espresso' is absolutely wonderful.

"The machine itself is rather slick. Quite compact, and sits nicely on the kitchen side. It may look daunting at first - all of the buttons, and knobs - but you'll soon learn it's not."

The De'Longhi Eletta Expore has LatteCrema technology, which not only sounds fancy but will give you perfectly creamy milk foam and has an automatic milk menu. Enjoy a wide variety of espresso-based drinks at the touch of a button. So, whether you like hot, cold or cool coffee, this machine has got you covered.

Customer review: "I treated myself to the machine because I personally only drink coffee with milk foam. Whether cappuccino or latte macchiato. The milk froth tastes different in every machine.

"It is a real eye-catcher in our kitchen and simply fits in well with its slim design. It is made of an elegant dark grey lacquered material and you can see how high-quality everything is installed. The touch display is in colour and has a soft-touch control."

Personalise your coffee-making experience with the 'Favourite coffee button' on the Melitta Purista machine. It'll remember the strength and amount, giving you the perfect brew each time you ask for it. Sharing with a friend? Select the Double Cup Mode to brew 2 cups at once.

Customer reviews: "Great machine, easy to use, looks stylish and makes great black coffee from your choice of beans, which is easily adjusted to your preferences. I like long black, but when I have visitors it’s quick and easy to change the settings for espresso or americano."

The Krups bean-to-cup machine boasts a generous 1.7L water tank, which means you can make up to 10 cups of coffee without running out. Perfect for coffee-lovers who don't want to worry about refilling when an emergency caffeine fix is needed!

Customer review: "This is the second machine that I have had! I had my previous Krups machine for around 6 years!! This machine was well used every day and makes the perfect espresso. I have a large Italian family and as you can image, a lot of coffee gets consumed. Defo buy if you are after a durable long lasting machine!"

The De'Longhi Prima Donna bean-to-cup machine is perfect for large families, with 21 beverages available, as well as being able to store your own recipes! Our favourite feature is the automatic milk frother. This appliance also comes with a unique Tea function that will heat water to the optimal brewing temperature.

Customer review: "Everything is automatic, easy, quick to heat up and you basically have a large menu of different coffees (and tea) options to choose from.

"Within each option you can further customise size and aroma so the options to find your perfect drink are there. The quality of the coffee is fantastic (obviously your choice of beans will have a massive influence in that) and the Crema created is excellent.

"The milk froth function is also good and there are 3 levels of froth - hot milk, flat white type froth and cappuccino big froth."

With the high 19-bar pressure, your coffee will always have a deep and rich aroma with the Dinamica machine. It also has an auto rinse cleaning program, so your device can stay clean and your coffee at its best. The one-touch control panel is easy to use for choosing your functions and is excellent for tired-eyed mornings.

Customer review: "It makes a delicious cup of coffee, I love the self-cleaning milk frother and that it's automatic. So no messing with extra jugs or spouts. It does it all with one touch! It was an expensive piece of kit and I'm so glad I splurged!"

This coffee machine looks 'the real deal' and will make a statement in your kitchen. The integrated grinder has 30 settings, so you've got complete control over each cup you make, and the machine gently pre-infuses the ground coffee for a full, balanced flavour. With a choice of one or two cups, a milk frother and a massive 2.8L tank capacity, this machine has it all!

Customer review: "The crema you get from the coffee is on a par with a professional barista machine, and I know this as my friend owns a coffee shop and is a fully trained barista, the machine brings out the fullest flavour of the coffee too! It heats up and is ready in super fast time, isn't leaky at all, and the steam wand is amazing, makes beautiful thick frothy milk which makes the perfect Italian flat white, cappuccino etc!"

If you want your coffee and fast, this coffee machine from Sage delivers your cuppa, from bean to cup, in less than a minute. You can use beans or pre-ground beans; the 15-grind settings allow you to have your beans as coarse or fine as you like. As well as a milk frother and temperature controls, we like that this machine has a 6-cup warming tray, ensuring a cold cup won't detract from the warmth of your coffee.

Customer review: "Can personalise settings- I’ve got mine at the hottest. User friendly, does what it says on the tin."

We love that this Sage model of bean-to-cup coffee machine has been awarded the Quiet Mark, which means it has been made with noise reduction as a priority. The device also has a 2L tank capacity, an easy-to-use interface, a milk frother and a three-second heat-up time for a speedy coffee every time.

Customer review: "I am very pleased with this coffee maker. It is very smart, makes great coffee and is clearly well-made. I love the fact that I have precise control over the coffee bean grind size. I am very happy with this purchase. My only slight issue is that the set-up instructions weren't completely clear, not mentioning that the steam/hot water selector switch needs to be in neutral to activate the initial flush."

Each option is expertly crafted to cater to your unique taste preferences.
