You can test different blends immediately with its swappable bean hoppers. Its profiles allow you to pick up where you left at. Additionally, it's less costly than capsule machines and makes use of real coffee beans instead of pre-ground.

1. Smeg BCC02

Designed by Milan-based firm Deep Design, this sleek, compact and striking machine combines the unique retro style of the brand with cutting-edge technology. It takes care of every step of the coffee-making process - from grinding beans and shaping the beans into a puck to mixing milk and dispense the right amount - so you can create barista-quality hot beverages with the click of the button.

The machine is also available in red, black, or taupe. It is a great integrate into any kitchen design. It's not without faults however: the majority of reviewers thought it was a bit expensive for a bean to cup maker (and it's not equipped with a milk pitcher).

There were many positive reviews about this machine's ease of use as well as the quality of the coffee. The intuitive digital display provides an easy-to-follow guideline and feedback throughout the entire brewing process, helping you make your drink perfect each time. It even allows you to tweak the grind size if not enough. It's almost like having your own personal barista in your own home (minus Harry Potter's invisibility cloak, and Elon Musk's rocket-building expertise).
