It takes care of every step of the coffee-making process, from grinding beans and then tamping them into a puck, to texturing milk and dispensing the correct volume - so you can make barista-quality hot beverages with the click of the button.

The machine also features a stylish brushed aluminium front and comes in black, red or taupe, so it'll easily fit into the majority of kitchen designs. The machine is not free of flaws however. Many reviewers felt that it was expensive for a cup-to- bean maker (and does not come with an ice cube).

There were also many glowing reviews about the quality of the coffee bean coffee maker and the ease of using this machine. The intuitive digital display provides step-by-step guidance and feedback throughout the entire making process, allowing you to perfect your drink every time. The machine can even instruct you to alter the grind size, should you decide that's not what prefer. It's like having a personal barista at home (minus Elon Musk's rocket building abilities and Harry Potter's invisible cape).

This model is perfect for those who prefer milky drinks. The steam wand can be adjusted upwards and downwards to fit most drinking vessels, except Viking drinking horns. We were also amazed by the speed and efficiency at which the frothing was done. It makes an excellent, full-flavoured, delicious espresso with a wonderful crema.

The BCC02 is an excellent all-rounder. It's quiet and efficient, and offers great value for money at a price that is currently PS499. The only problem is that it does not provide the same level of customization as other bean-to-cup machines we have examined. It comes with a 15 bar pump instead of the common 19 bar which bean to cup isn't as effective to make high-quality espressos. Other than that it's a great bean-to-cup machine for those who like their coffee strong and dark.
