Best Bean-to-Cup Coffee Machines 2024

Delivering third-wave specialty coffee at home, this coffee machine uses Breville’s 4 keys formula – dose, temperature, pressure, and milk foam. It can go from beans to espresso in just one minute!

With the ability to control the integrated burr grinder with a single touch it delivers just the right amount of coffee to ensure maximum taste. With low-pressure pre-infusion gradually building up to the optimal water pressure, the extraction process draws out all the flavors for a great-tasting cup of coffee – and the faster heating system means the optimum extraction temperature is achieved in just three seconds!

The LCD screen gives you all the information you need to make your cup of coffee, displaying the progress of the grinding and extraction, and the powerful steam wand for manual microfoam milk texturing.

Complete with accessories including a razor precision dose trimming tool, 480 ml stainless steel milk jug, a cleaning kit, and a water filter, the Breville offers everything you will need to feel like a pro Barista in your own home.

Can you imagine making 16 barista-quality coffee specialties? Well, this coffee machine lets you do just that! The Jura E8 lets you expertly create several types of coffees using this machine, including espresso, coffee, cappuccino, flat white, and latte macchiato – all at the touch of a button.

The full-color user interface eliminates all the guesswork and makes creating any of the Jura’s 16 coffee types simple and straightforward – but this machine offers more than just simplicity of use.

From the precise AromaG3 burr grinder that grinds to the optimum fineness, to the exclusive Pulse Extraction Process that optimizes the extraction time to ensure the best taste and aroma whatever coffee you are using, and the automatic Fine Foam FrotherG2 that delivers steamed milk or the perfect milk foam, you get the best quality performance at every stage of the process – you can even do all this using your smartphone!

If you want great-tasting coffee but would like more choice than a simple espresso, then the Jura E8 could be just what you’re looking for – in a great-looking package.

In what might be a bit of a contrast to the last machine, this Cuisinart Grind and Brew machine shows that buying a great bean-to-cup coffee machine doesn’t have to be a big expense.

The lower price tag does mean you lose out on some of the high-end components and performance, and this machine comes with a blade grinder instead of the more expensive machines’ burr grinder, and there are more limited options when it comes to your control over how your coffee is made.

Having said that, you still get quite a lot for your money, with a fully automatic coffee maker that has a programmable 24hr brew start feature, adjustable auto-off, an optional 1-4 cup setting, and a full 12 cup pot if there’s more than just you who loves great-tasting coffee.

Simple controls make it easy to use, and with a charcoal water filter and self-clean setting, it could be just what you need if you’re looking for a simple and convenient, quality coffee-maker.

Like its big brother, this coffee machine also uses the 4 keys formula and all of Breville’s bean-to-cup know-how to give you an all-in-one machine that will turn beans into coffee in less than 60 seconds!

You get dose-control grinding via the integrated burr grinder to make sure you have exactly the right amount of ground coffee in the portafilter, with complete control over the grind size.

There’s also low-pressure pre-infusion to make sure you’re getting maximum flavor from the extraction process, with precise espresso extraction thanks to the digital temperature control so the water is delivered at just the right temperature.

The microfoam milk texturing is via the manual steam wand – the perfect complement to the high-performance espresso maker, and with a range of included accessories, this machine allows anyone to quickly create professional-looking (and tasting!) coffees at home.

Another Jura machine that makes use of a lot of the same components as the E8 and is also pretty versatile – it can make cappuccinos, espresso and can double up a coffee maker.

You get the same integrated AromaG2 grinder, for a precise, optimal grind, and Jura’s exclusive Pulse Extraction Process technology, which optimizes the extraction time for barista-quality coffee.

There’s an integrated milk frother for your cappuccino, and a built-in water filter that can help prevent scale building up in your machine and also deliver purer water for a nicer-tasting brew. While the customization features might be a bit more limited, it does offer the important options of programmable coffee strength and volume.

It has a much simpler plain text display, which is easy and practical to use, but you can also make of the Jura app with the machine, so you still get a lot of the E8 functionality and wow-factor, without having to spend E8 kind of money!

If your life moves pretty fast and you want a machine that can keep up, then this coffee maker might be the perfect choice for you – freshly-ground coffee, with no messing about!

This machine is the second more traditional grind and brew coffee maker on our list and offers a lot of the same features, and then some. There’s the built-in blade grinder and up to 24hr programmable auto-brew (and auto-shutoff) you’d expect, with a good-sized 12 cup pot to keep everyone topped up.

Added to this are options to choose different coffee strengths, by-pass the grinder and use pre-ground coffee, and even stop the brewing process midway so you can sneak a cup of coffee without making a mess.

With an easy-to-use display and control panel, if you just want a machine that makes good coffee easily and quickly without too much fuss, then this coffee maker has got you covered.

If the quality of the coffee is in the grind, then this machine has you covered, with a built-in professional burr grinder that has 13 different settings!

We know the grind is important, but so is the extraction process, and this machine ensures that each cup is brewed to the right temperature and with the perfect richness and density. Their Rapid Cappuccino System also means you can brew one cup straight after another, without any loss of performance and quality.

With the ability to easily adjust the temperature, coffee strength, and cup size you’ll have all the options you need to create a brew that’s perfect for you. And with dual hoppers, a height-adjustable coffee spout and adjustable milk frother, you’ll have plenty of choice – from a simple espresso to a cappuccino, creamy latte or flat white.

The Gaggia Velasca bean-to-cup coffee machine is about as automatic as these machines get, thanks to its automatic milk frother – with espressos, cappuccinos and lattes brewed with just one touch! The built-in ceramic burr grinder has 10 different settings to ensure a perfect grind whatever you’re brewing, and with the press of a few buttons on the simple but functional interface, you can adjust temperature, volume, and brew strength to your exact requirements. There’s even a bypass system so you can also use pre-ground coffee with the Velasca . And the convenience of this super-automatic doesn’t stop when it comes to cleaning and maintenance. There is a quick clean feature for the milk carafe or it is removable for easy cleaning, as is the brew group, so keeping your coffee maker in peak condition is nice and easy too. This is also one of the few coffee machines that has the added benefit of the water reservoir and draw for the coffee grounds being accessible from the front – meaning this coffee maker can fit in spaces that might not be suitable for bigger, top-loading machines.
