Beko CEG5311X Bean to Cup Automatic Espresso Machine with Steam Wand, Nozzle, One touch LCD control, 19 bar pressure, Removable 1.6L Water Tank - Stainless Steel

This little fully automatic coffee machine is fantastic. We cannot get rid of trying new coffee beans every time we are in the supermarket because of how good it is. Functionality: 1- Grinding adjustments can be made based on your own preference. 2- Milk frother is LOUDER than expected; however, efficient. 3- Water tank capacity is OK. They could have made it bigger, but I assume it will ruin the machine's aesthetics. 4- We have a relatively small-medium kitchen, the slim design of the machine makes it the perfect fit, and it also looks elegant and easy on the eyes. 5- Although it will show you that it requires DEEP cleaning after some time, I recommend cleaning it weekly. 6- Lastly, our only complaint is that the ground coffee bin should have been larger as it fills quite quickly. Overall, top-notch coffee machine!

I bought this two times and both were defective. I spend so much time to try to make it work. The water wont come out and I wrote that other people also had this issue.

My siemens just stopped working. Ordered this for the value for money and it surprised me alot. The coffee temperature is much warmer then my siemens was

Delivers good coffee, relatively quite and compact in size when copare to other bean-to-cup machines I tried. Easy to operate no programing needed yet is possible and easy as well. The reason for the missing star is that the waste tray has no indicator and the coffe container is not transparent.

Not at my first machine, I'd certainly recommend this one.

Received my Beko bean to cup in open condition. The box was damaged which shows if wasn’t stored safely and had been abused. On closer inspection saw multiple labels that this item was returned by other buyer before. Did not expect this.

The machine is very unstable and high maintenance and very loud

With scratches on the top, coffee stains and ground coffee inside of the machine! Definitely disappointed, especially that this is fulfilled by Amazon.

I bought the Beko 8814253200 in June this year. I wanted to give it a few months of hard labour before leaving a review. I previously owned a Swan Retro One Touch which packed up in less than six months. It's like switching from a horse and cart to an Aston Martin. (No disrespect to the horse.) This machine is diddy-proof. It makes delicious espresso with a good, thick crema, from bean to cup, in less than 30 seconds and takes just over one minute in total from switching on to filling your cup. It retains that slightly oily, lip-smacking texture you get from good, artisan, freshly ground coffee. (I recommend organic beans and filtered water.) Operation is so easy. The buttons are digital, just like a microwave. Hot water. Steam. Large coffee. Espresso coffee. Simple. When the Beko needs cleaning, more water, or the granules lifted, an orange light flashes and until you get to know your machine, you can just cross-reference that particular warning with the handbook. It looks fantastic. Genuine stainless steel, plastic has been kept to a minimum, the grey and black looks really sharp and clean. Beko have also designed the 8814253200 to be self-cleaning, meaning that when you depress the power on/off button, it runs water through the nosel. When you press the machine on, the steam wand for milk ejects water too, before use. All this is handy and well-thought out, as is the water filter, which has a sturdy handle for removal and refilling. Beko have really upped their game here. If you want coffee at home which tastes better than what you can get elsewhere (I'm always disappointed now) I thoroughly recommend this machine. Seriously. It saves you so much time and delivers a great coffee. For cappuccino or latte just use the Beko's wand under the surface of a small amount of milk in your jug. Jug and any extra utensils are not included.

I'm surprised by how well this coffee machine is performing. In terms of coffee blending it's excellent and suits all palettes in terms of taste/size of grind. The handy removable water tank is great, the ability to set up your preferred cup size is also a really nice touch. The steamer/milk frother and hot water nozzle works well although sometimes it can be a bit clumsy and takes a couple of presses before activating the steam option properly (although it could be user error :-) ). It self cleans at start up and when it shuts down either manually or via the internal timer, guaranteeing a fresh brew every time. Cleaning the machine is really simple, just removing the drip tray and then the internal collection pot which slides out with ease and is super easy to clean. It also comes with some descaling sachets which it recommends should be used once a month (I'm just about to do its first monthly cleaning cycle). The only downside I would say is the noise on start up is a little loud, however, its a minor issue and doesn't take away from all that's good about this machine. If you are looking for a great entry level bean to cup you won't find better, in fact, it's as good as many of the mid-range models that cost £200/300 more. I would certainly recommend it above the coffee pod machines and if you are looking to venture into the world of bean to cup but don't want to pay the crazy prices that some manufacturers charge. Highly recommended

When working the coffee is great, the cleaning system is awful lots of water and ground coffee gets congealed in the waste tank and we even ended up with maggots even after regular cleaning as the machine flags up when it needs emptying/descaling Amazon or Beko didn’t take any responsibility for the replacement of the second broken machine and it took hours of trying to sort and now we’ve had to go elsewhere to buy a brand new coffee machine! Waste of £200 highly dissatisfied!

This mechine is easy to use quick to start up and easy to maintain. My only gripe would be the steaming wand on the version that has this attachment. The steaming wand is not the best, it does not offer any real control and will shut itself off which is a little anyoying. My recommendation for those who want a good latte or cappuccino is get the cheaper version with no steaming wand and buy a stand alone milk frother.

Easily the best coffee machine out there for the price paid, I was originally unsure about going for a brand which typically make fridges and washing machines but after watching a few review videos I decided to give it a go and I’m glad I did, it’s easy to use, grinds well and looks really smart. The espresso tastes great and produces a good créma and once you play with the water settings you can have it make americanos too. You’ve also got the option to use the hot water feed to make tea/americano as well and the milk frother is simple to use too. Like other reviews it’s really hard to find any negatives about the machine however I will mention that you will need to keep the tank topped up with water as the machine does like to self clean upon every start up and shut down, even then that’s not a negative because it’s constantly clean! Others have complained about this feature and if it really is a big deal you still have the option to turn this off on settings. 100% would recommend this machine.
