The art of the perfect cup
A better morning starts here.
Find the coffee machine that suits how you drink coffee, then compare UK retailers — only ever for the exact same model.
Four ways to brew
Choose your ritual.
Each machine type trades convenience, control, cost and counter space differently. Start with how you want your mornings to feel.
01Bean-to-cup
Grinds whole beans and brews at the touch of a button. The most convenience for fresh coffee, with the largest footprint and the most cleaning cycles.
02Espresso
You grind, dose, tamp and steam. More skill and time, more control over every shot. Often needs a separate grinder.
03Pod & capsule
Compact, fast and tidy. The machine is cheap; the capsules are where the running cost lives — and you are tied to one system.
04Filter
Gentle extraction for several cups at once. Simple to own, ideal for long mornings and black coffee.

Before you buy.
The questions that decide whether you still love your machine a year from now.
- Brewing styleMatch the machine to the drink
- Milk drinks favour a capable steam wand or automatic frother. Black coffee drinkers can prioritise extraction and grind quality.
- MaintenanceEvery machine needs looking after
- Hard water is common in the UK. Descaling frequency, removable brew groups and cleaning programmes decide how pleasant ownership feels.
- Running costsLook past the purchase price
- Capsules can cost several times more per cup than beans. Filters, descaler and spare parts add up over a machine's life.
- Exact modelsWhy we compare by model number
- Finishes, bundles and regional versions are different products. We only put prices side by side when they are for the same model.
