What matters when buying
Bean-to-cup, pod or pump
Three formats share this table. Bean-to-cup grinds and brews at one press and starts around £300. Pods are cheapest to buy and dearest per cup. A pump machine with a portafilter is the least expensive here at £179.99 but expects you to grind, dose and tamp yourself.
How the milk is handled
This is what separates otherwise similar machines. A LatteGo or LatteCrema carafe pours milk automatically and goes in the dishwasher; an Aeroccino is a separate jug on the worktop; a steam wand gives you control and a cloth to wipe after every drink.
Cost per cup, not per machine
A capsule machine at £214 looks cheap beside a £490 bean-to-cup until you count the pods. Whole beans cost a fraction of a capsule per cup, so a household drinking four a day pays back the difference and a one-cup-a-day household usually does not.
Grinder type and settings
Both Philips machines here state a ceramic grinder and the Ninja has one built in. Ceramic burrs run cooler than steel and hold their setting; the number of grind steps decides how far you can chase a better shot before you run out of adjustment.
Descaling and water hardness
In hard-water parts of the UK a bean-to-cup machine needs descaling every few weeks and a neglected one blocks. Check whether it prompts you, whether the tank takes a filter, and what the filters cost, before the machine is on the counter.
Footprint, tank and hopper
These are large appliances that live under wall cupboards. Measure the height with the lid open for filling the bean hopper, and match the tank size to your household — a family of four on a 1.8 litre tank is refilling it daily.
How the score is calculated — and what it is not
Der Passungs-Score (0–10) ist der nach deinem Bedarf gewichtete Schnitt aus sieben Kriterien — kein eigener Labortest.
The score is not our own hands-on test. It is calculated transparently from public Amazon data: 75% from the average star rating and 25% from the number of reviews, weighted logarithmically. The ranking order itself comes from estimated monthly revenue per ASIN. Prices, ratings and review counts were retrieved from Amazon.co.uk on 22 July 2026 and can change at any time.
