1. Smeg BCC02

The design was created by Milan-based company Deep Design, this sleek, compact machine blends the unique retro style of the brand with modern technology. This machine handles all stages of making coffee machine coffee beans starting from grinding beans, tamping into a puck and texturing milk before dispensed the right volume.

The machine also has an attractive brushed aluminum front and comes in a variety of black, red or taupe, meaning it's a great fit for the majority of kitchen designs. The machine does not come without faults however. Many reviewers felt that it was a bit expensive for a cup-to- bean maker (and does not come with an ice cube).

There were also many glowing reviews about this machine's ease of use and the quality of the coffee. The digital display gives information and step-bystep instructions throughout the entire process of brewing, helping you to make your drink perfect each time. The machine will even tell you to alter the size of the grind, in case that's not what you prefer. It's almost like having your own personal barista at home (minus Harry Potter's invisibility cloak and Elon Musk's rocket-building skills).

This model is ideal for those who enjoy milky drinks. The steam wand is adjustable to the right and left so that it fits most drinking vessels, except Viking drinking horns. We were impressed with the speed and effectiveness of the frothing process, as well. It also produces an amazing espresso with a great crema and full-bodied flavor despite its small size.

The BCC02 is a great all-rounder. It's quiet and efficient, and it offers great value for money at the current price of PS499. Its only real drawback is that it doesn't provide the same level of customisation like some of the other bean-to-cups we've evaluated. Its pump has 15 bars instead of the standard 19 bars. This is not as good for producing high-quality espressos. This is a fantastic machine for those who like their coffee strong and dark. Click here to see Lavazza's amazing deal.

Users have also been amazed by the speed of the machine. It is more efficient than other machine they have used. Another advantage is that it will alert you when one of its hoppers is nearly empty, so you aren't caught running out of your favourite drink.

The only thing that may be a problem for some individuals is the price. The machine isn't cheap, at nearly PS999. But, it's cheaper than comparable Jura machines that have the same number of features.
