We didn’t like: manual descaling is a chore
We’ve tested coffee machines costing £35 to a whopping £2,000 – and our testing shows many people are paying over the odds in the search of the perfect brew.
Besides the cost of the machine, you can also make an exceptional saving over coffee pods by choosing a ground coffee machine like this affordable Beko model. It’s better for the environment, too.
This Beko has just one dial control with three settings: brewing coffee, standby or milk frothing. It also comes with a steam wand to make milky drinks like cappuccinos or lattes, and has a cup warmer so drinks stay toasty for longer.
