1. Smeg BCC02

The design was created by Milan-based company Deep Design, this sleek, compact and striking machine combines the brand's inimitable retro style with modern technology. It handles every step of the coffee-making process - from grinding beans and then tamping the beans into a puck to mixing milk and dispense the correct volume - so you can create barista-quality hot drinks by pressing the button.

The machine is also available in black, red, or taupe. It will easily integrate into any kitchen design. The machine is not free of flaws, however. Most reviewers found that it was expensive for a cup to bean maker (and isn't equipped with the milk pitcher).

There were many positive reviews about the machine's user-friendliness and the quality of its coffee. The intuitive digital display provides the step-by-step instructions and feedback throughout the brewing process, helping you make your drink perfect each time. The machine will even tell you to alter the size of the grind, should you decide that's not what would like to do. It's like having your very own personal barista at home (minus Elon Musk's rocket building skills and Harry Potter's invisibility cape).

If you prefer drinks with milk this model comes with an adjustable steam wand that can be adjusted upwards and downwards to fit most drinking vessels short of the drinking horn of Vikings. We were also amazed by the speed and efficiency in how the frothing was accomplished. It also produces a delicious espresso, with a great crema and full flavour despite its compact size.

The BCC02 is a great all-rounder that's quiet, effective and offers superb value for money at its current price of PS499. The only issue is the fact that it doesn't provide the same level of customization like some of the other bean to cups we've tested. It comes with a 15 bar pump rather than the more usual 19 bars which isn't as effective for making high-quality espressos. However it's a great bean to cup machine for those who like their coffee strong and dark. If you want to get your hands on one be sure to benefit from Lavazza's great deal click here to check it.

2. Melitta Barista TS Smart

The Barista TS Smart is a superb bean to cup machine with many features that make it stand above the rest.

This makes the machine very adaptable and flexible to your preferences. There are a variety of options for varying the intensity of your drinks as well as various sizes of cups, and whether or not you want to add milk. The machine comes with two airtight containers that are automatically selected for various specialties. The machine is set to use standard espresso beans and cafe creme, a German variant of long black or flat white. However, you can select any beans you want. There is also a chute for beans that are already ground if you prefer to make your own.

Users have also been impressed with the speed of the machine. They have said that it can make their drinks faster than other machines they've used. The machine will also inform you if one of its hoppers are almost empty. This ensures that you don't be able to drink your favorite drink.

The only thing that may be a negative for some people is the price tag. This machine is not cheap, at nearly PS999. It's still cheaper than comparable Jura machines with similar features.

Barista TS smart is protected by a two-year guarantee. This is longer than the typical one-year guarantee, so it is a good assurance from the manufacturer. It also includes an cleaning tablet as well as a descaler, making it simple to keep on top of the machine's needs for maintenance. This is a great machine for those who want to purchase a high-quality and versatile bean to cup machine at an affordable price.
