Was looking around for an automatic coffee machine in preparation for working from home, and came across this Beko machine. RRP is $499 on Amazon and the Beko website.

Reviews for the machine look pretty good, and it looks like Beko has an ongoing promotion to extend warranty to 5 years (see the beko.com.au site) EDIT: not valid for coffee machines.

The blurb for the machine:

If you’re looking for an automatic coffee machine that doesn’t overwhelm you with a wealth of features you’ll never use, look no further than this convenient bean-to-cup solution from Beko.

With an adjustable nozzle height, you can comfortably accommodate cups of all sizes. Whether you want a latte in a tall glass or a single shot of espresso, you can make it happen with no fuss. Satisfy preferences across all palates with options for strong or mild espresso, and use the milk frother to hone your latte art. You can also influence the flavour of your cup by adjusting the coarseness of your grind; there are five coarseness settings to play with. Catch spills with the removable drip tray, and ensure maximum stability thanks to the anti-slip feet.

Stop your caffeine cravings in their tracks with this automatic coffee machine from Beko.

EDIT: Now $322 on AppliancesOnline, but with an extended delivery time.

    There are a range of coffee machines in the De Longhi Outlet.

      That was the first place I looked, but unfortunately it seems like most of the automatic coffee machines (not pod machines) are sold out.

      With Beko being a Turkish company does it do Turkish style coffee too?

      Edit.. Just did some research and it does espresso only. The model that does Turkish is this one https://www.beko.com/au-en/home-appliances/coffee-maker/turk…

    • Thomasta3 on 30/03/2020 - 21:47

      I've had the eletta cappuccino model for several years now and it's awesome. Goes along with a good rice cooker for two "unnecessary" appliances for the kitchen I totally recommend spending the extra money for.

        Completely not sure what your point is

        • wetwork on 30/03/2020 - 13:59
          -1

          Here is the logic as it relates to my standpoint.
          Depends if you think that Starbucks coffee is good or not. Some love it, some are less sure.
          It represents Seattle - I have been there and drank the local coffee. None was to my taste, there is lots of it though and millions of people
          would disagree with me.
          Thus would a recommendation from Seattle coffee company be a good or bad thing for me?
          I believe a crap machine (or a poor operator) can create bad coffee from good grounds. Witness my mother in law's machine. Dreck coffee from my good grounds.
          The grind is critical and yes the beans are critical.

          • kronicmacstigator on 30/03/2020 - 14:49

            @wetwork: If you think Gail is anything less than an absolute master just because she's from Seattle you can cram your portafilter where the sun don't shine… it's the equivalent of spitting in Gordon Ramsay's face just because he's from the UK.

    This might also be eligible under their 5 year warranty program.

    Highly recommended brand. They're relatively new in Aus (10 years?), but have been in Europe for decades.

  • cristtos on 30/03/2020 - 09:00

    I never had an automatic coffee machine and this looks tempting…
    Q1: I have a few bags of ground coffee, do you think this machine would take it until I have to buy beans?
    Q2: Would this qualify for tax deductions when working from home?

    Thanks

      1. Ground coffee wouldn't work in this machine, as it's designed to grind the beans

            • chumlee on 30/03/2020 - 17:35

              @cristtos: At $339 the tax benefits will be marginal as you will need to depreciate it over time.

  • Richocho on 30/03/2020 - 09:20

    I looked into this machine a few months ago but I think they've made it TOO simple. The only option you have is short or long shot.
    Most full auto machines at least also give you a flavour/aroma setting which allows you to vary the amount of coffee ground for the shot. I've found this to be pretty important to getting the best out of different types of beans

    • Sharp on 30/03/2020 - 09:48
      +4

      The machine will produce a single or double shot of espresso as default but you can also adjust this further by pressing a button in a certain way, so the machine remembers how much coffee to produce (detailed in the instructions). This, along with the grind setting within the hopper, allows you to adjust your espresso to suit.

      The Breville bambino has the new jet thermo block with a 3 second warm up and similar time to go from pulling the coffee to steaming so not a great deal slower than a dual boiler system. $499 seems to be the not on sale price.

      • micemeat on 30/03/2020 - 14:58

        I like the look of these too… however the small drip tray will most likely become messy quickly on the amount I'd be using it.

            This is not a La Marzocco, Rocket, Wega, or Kees van dar Western.

            To me, it provides the convenience of a Nespresso with the added flexibility of being able to choose whole beans and grind. Bonus points for also being more environmentally friendly.

            I'm not a snob. My beans are blended (St. Ali), not single origin. And I drink it white.

            Can I tell the difference between coffee and dishwater? Sure. But my review will be purely on machine performance with the above in mind.

        In addition to the standard 2 year warranty that comes with your Beko appliances, you are also entitled to an additional 3 years of warranty simply by registering on the Beko website within 90 days of your purchase.

        Then again the delivery date was supposed to be today and nothing came, no contact, etc. I called them and they don't have stock - advised it might be on the 13th instead!… Maybe Appliances Online are not a good company to deal with…

    How easy is to switch between beans with this kind of machines? I normally drink normal coffee but my wife drinks decaf, so I will need to change beans daily. Is this possible?

    • [Deactivated] on 31/03/2020 - 11:10

      I don't know if you can clear the hopper easily in these grinders, or whether you need to take the water tank out and tip the machine to get them out - which may be risky.
      Also, the problem with switching beans with a single grinder would be that you usually have to adjust the grind each time, as the decaf beans are probably different roast level, bean size etc.

      • manuemasse on 31/03/2020 - 11:51

    Just received mine yesterday (Brisbane), and the coffee has been good.

    The machine has a pretty small footprint (and looks good - which is a plus), and easy to use. My only gripe is that there wasn't any detailed instructions on how to use the steam wand, and I managed to spray steam all over the countertop while fiddling around with it to work it out.

    As promised, my review:

    I've been using the machine for a week now and my overall rating, taking into account cost, convenience, ease of use, and the end product is 4/5.

    After a bit of trial and error with the grind setting (I dialed mine to almost the finest point and found this the best for my beans), it produced a beautiful single shot with a silky smooth crema. Extraction was spot on.

    Of course, this is for when I make a flat white. Dialing it to around the mid way point is optimal for your long/short black and macchiato.

    The machine is really idiot-proof. No matter what setting you use, it will never come out sour or bitter as the grind settings aren't as varied as a standalone grinder, where you can set them for French press, V60, cold brew, aeropress, etc.

    Now to the cons. The steam wand isn't my favourite as the range of movement is extremely limited. It takes a bit of getting used to, and even then, I wasn't too happy with the result. At this price point however, one can't complain too much.

    The other con is you can only produce a single shot. I knew this when I bought it, but just so people are aware that there's no setting to make a double shot.

    Oh, and it doesn't come with a milk jug. Not a big deal as you can pick these up for $8 at Kmart or IKEA

    Overall, a sturdy, well-made machine that performs very well and is aesthetically pleasing.

    Beans used: St. ALi 'Wide Awake' and 'Orthodox'.

    Hot tip: Don't forget to remove the plastic bag around the grind bin! You wouldn't know it's there when you take the machine out of the box.

    • coastbargain on 17/04/2020 - 10:45

      Ah thank you for the detailed review! Glad to hear you're happy with it on the whole. If I didn't already have my Bambino I would have jumped on this for sure.

      A quick update to this review:

      Have given the machine a very good workout past few weeks. I make at least four coffees a day, every day.

      I've got the steam wand down pat now. At first, I was trying to heat up too much milk in one go (300ml to make 2 coffees) using milk straight from the fridge.

      If you need to make 2 coffees, warm the milk in the microwave for about 40 seconds and then steam as usual.

      Yes, ideally you want to use room temp milk, but I don't want to stand around waiting for 30 mins, so the microwave method does work.

      If you're making 1 coffee (150ml milk), the wand is perfectly fine for this, even if you use milk straight from the fridge.

      At first, I was producing way too much foam for my liking. I struggled to get that smooth rotation going in the jug, but with practice, you'll get the hang of it.

      • retainer on 29/04/2020 - 17:59

        Does the steam wand only turn slight to the right and that's it yeah?

        You can't pull it out forward toward you or turn it left

        Also how often are you meant to wash the brewer?

            @dpark88: Thanks mate,

            One more question re the frother;

            When I push the steam button, the red ring flashes and it starts frothing for 3 seconds, then there is a double beep and it ceases to froth and the steam icon also flashes and I have to push it again for it to actually begin the steam at which point the red ring behind the steamer stops flashing and is constant. Is that normal?

      I initially paid $339, but when it dropped to $322 called them and told them to honour the difference, which they did as they hadn't shipped mine out yet.
      Unfortunately looks like it is currently $375 so they will not do that now.
