One Touch Operation 

The Siemens EQ 300 has a one-touch operation, making your favourite coffee so simple with one touch of a button. Your favourite coffee option is just a press button away, with them located on top of the machine as pre-sets. The 5 options include espresso, café crèma, cappuccino, latte macchiato, and milk. If you like your coffee piping hot, you may need to warm your milk a little. 

Milk Frother Arm 

The milk frother slides into your cup. Just add your milk to your cup first, place it under the frother arm, and it will do the rest. It will steam and froth the milk inside the cup for coffees like lattes. It can easily be removed and washed in the dishwasher. 

Built-In Grinder 

The built-in grinder will give you the perfect grind you are after. The Siemens EQ300 uses a ceramDrive high-quality ceramic grinder with ceramic grinding discs to extract the aromas and flavour from every bean. 

Easy To Clean 

The manual does advise daily cleaning, which is easy to do, and the weekly cleaning includes taking out the main coffee pump. The machine cleans itself at start-up, and you may need to place an empty cup under the nozzle before the grind and extract start to catch the water. This will save having to empty the drip tray so often. 

The Siemens EQ300 is a great machine, especially if you like not having to texturize your milk using a jug and steam wand.

6. Philips Bean-to-Cup Espresso Machine

Features & Benefits 

LatteGo 

The LatteGo is an impressive feature of this machine. It is on the front of the machine and has no tubing or pipes to clean! You pour your fresh milk into the container and press your coffee with milk, and it does its thing.  Your coffee will have smooth, silky foam every time. It is also easy to clean by removing the two pieces, which can be washed by hand or in the dishwasher. To easy! 

My Coffee Choice 

The Philips 3200 lets you customize your coffee with its My Coffee Choice selections for your preferred strength and milk preferences for your favourite coffee. It makes adjusting the strength, flavour and aroma very simple and gets the best out of your beans. 

AquaClean filter 

The AquaClean filter in this machine allows up to 5000 cups without the need to descale. This is impressive, as most machines will require descaling more often. Depending on usage, the filters need replacing around the three-month mark and can be purchased in two packs. Descaling solution is also recommended when prompted. This will depend on machine usage and how hard your water is. Always check with your manufacturer’s instructions on what cleaning solutions to use. Using other products could void your warranty. 

Ground Coffee Option 

This machine allows you to use pre-ground beans if you need them. There is a compartment for you to put the grounds into. This machine is quiet (noise-wise, not too bad for a grinder), so using fresh beans is the best option.

Considerations When Buying A Bean To Cup Coffee Machine 

There are a few things to consider when purchasing a bean-to-cup coffee machine. You need to choose a machine that suits your needs, space, and the style of coffee you wish to make.  

• Do you need a grinder and a milk frothier on your machine, or would you prefer to keep them separate?  
• How much space do you have on your bench or in the kitchen? Most coffee machines are left out rather than put away each time.
• Do you prefer automatic, or do you like to have a little more control when making your coffee?  
• What is your budget?  

Remember, most coffee grinders are a bit noisy. After all, they are grinding hard beans. Some machines allow for pre-ground coffee, but fresh is always best for flavour and satisfaction. The early morning sound of a coffee machine will become white noise to those still sleeping and music to the ears of those up and ready for the day!
