Good value bean-to-cup machine
4/5
For a bean to cup machine this is a good price. It’s replacing an old one that seems very similar inside, so I’m hoping for a similarly long life. It works well and makes very good coffee. Controls are on a touch panel that is fairly logical, but I needed the instructions even for something this simple. It holds 250g of beans, but only just so you have to spread them evenly to get the lid on. The used grounds are dumped in a drawer at the front. This must have been designed by someone who doesn’t have to clean it out. Although it’s glossy plastic, coffee grounds happily bond to it. A ridge internally means that you can’t just sweep a washing up brush around it. I use a baby bottle brush to get into the corners favoured by the glued-in grounds.
