You don’t have to get an expensive bean to cup coffee machine to enjoy an amazing cup of coffee, but it helps! In this guide, we’re exploring some of the most valuable machines, and what spending this extra level of cash does for your coffee enjoyment. So let’s take a look at the options when it comes to coffee machines for your home.
Some people are looking for the cheapest bean to cup coffee machines. There’s nothing wrong with that, of course. However, if you have a big family of coffee lovers or you are looking to find a way to install a machine for a workplace, or even for a busy waiting room, you might know that these cheaper options aren’t going to cut it. That’s why we’re exploring some of the more expensive bean to cup coffee machines on this list. Spending extra money will lead to more impressive features, a better choice of beverages and even the capacity to make more drinks.
Integrated vs Standalone Machines
It’s worth considering the two main types of bean to cup coffee machines. You can either buy standalone models, which can sit on the counter, and be moved around relatively easily. If you are looking to get a product installed in a kitchen cabinet that sits flush with the rest of the units in your kitchen, an integrated bean to cup coffee machine could be an exceptional choice. It gives a classy and professional look while also preserving some of that valuable counter space. Integrated machines tend to be more expensive to buy and they are also more expensive to buy and install.
We’ve covered both types below as we delve into some of the best bean to cup machines.
Coffee Machines For Your Home
Siemens “TI9573X9RW”
As a brand, Siemens has some of the most expensive bean to cup coffee machines out there. The TI9573X9RW is no exception. It costs a pretty penny, but as a free-standing, standalone bean to cup machine, it offers a huge level of features and functionality.
The barista mode means that you can choose from so many different types of drink including flat white and latte or cappuccino. You can also make a big pot of coffee to share. All of this can even be controlled via the coffee machine’s app on your smart device. Set the coffee to prepare from your desk and it will be ready when you go to grab it.
You can also enjoy loads of controls over the strength of the drink, how much you want to make, and the temperature. You can even tweak tiny details like the brewing or extraction speed to get the coffee to taste exactly how you want it.
A good bean to cup coffee machine with a barista coffee mode needs a good milk system. This is exactly what Siemens offers. You can use the integrated container, and store it in the fridge while you’re not using it. An auto-clean function means that you can automatically clean the pipes and not have this manual job to carry out yourself.
The excellent build quality ensures that the grinder is made out of ceramic and is built to last. There’s also an excellent 19-bar pressure for the coffee extraction.
Smeg “CMS4604NX”
“CMS4604NX” is part of the Coloniale line. It has a traditional look to it and offers a huge level of customizable functionality. You can interact with this machine and choose how you set it up in order to get the taste and convenience you want.
You can program different lengths of brew time, strength, and even the temperature that you want the coffee to be when you prepare it. This is a flexible model that allows you to make two cups at a time if you need to, which is great for those busy offices and workplaces. You can also choose between whole beans or ground coffee.
Because the pourer size is adjustable, you can alter it to whatever cup you want, meaning it is way easier to use a reusable cup.
For those barista-style drinks, the machine comes with a separate milk tank and frother so you can create things like cappuccino automatically.
The clever functions include a programmable switch-on to prepare coffee ready for when you wake up in the morning. There’s an LCD display that allows you to change all of the functions and it is relatively easy to understand, especially when you consider the hundreds of options you have to customize your coffee.
This high-tech machine is a good choice for those who want a system for a busy space, and need to be able to make a lot of coffee over the course of the day.
Sometimes it really is worth spending to get the very best, and with bean to cup coffee machines, this is often the case. A good reason to spend some extra is if you want to be able to prepare coffee for a lot of people at once, or provide loads of different options when it comes to caffeinated beverages. Barista-style machines can satisfy even a hardened coffee connoisseur and allow you to make loads of tweaks to the flavour. Perfect coffee every time!
