Rated 5/5 stars by BBC Good Food experts during testing, this compact bean-to-cup is considered one of our Star Buy coffee machines. The rounded lines and statement 1950s style is undeniably Smeg, but surprisingly for its category, it doesn't have a footprint that dominates the kitchen countertop. In fact, it's one of the smallest bean-to-cup coffee machines on the market, combined with contemporary style and offering eight coffee functions and an efficient milk frother.

Its Impress Puck system for automatically calculating and dosing the correct quantity of coffee combined with assisted tamping using the side lever are examples of its intuitive assisted programming.

This bean-to-cup does the basics really well. The height-adjustable spout accommodates a variety of mug sizes. The grinding process was also relatively quiet compared to other machines tested against it. Although there is no hot water function or Americano function, the machine will make a 200ml cup of black coffee when set to max.

After a slimline coffee machine that can draw single and double shots and froth milk? The Sage Bambino Plus is a brilliant choice.

The Artisan edition of KitchenAid's espresso machine is a stylish kitchen addition. It has a low, slimline footprint but a hefty metal body that gives it good stability on its grippy base. It's a classy, pricey unit that fully delivers in terms of coffee quality, steam wand efficiency and we also appreciated the accessories included (which is where many machines fall).

How to calculate your kilowatt hour usage
Coffee machines can vary in their energy efficiency and usage. As a general rule of thumb, the more functions and settings a coffee machine has, e.g. milk frothing and in-built grinding, the more power it's likely to use. It's easy to work out a coffee machine's kilowatt hour usage by using this simple sum.
Take the coffee machine's wattage (we've listed the wattage above) multiply it by the coffee machine's usage per day in hours, then divide the total by 1000. The result is your coffee machine's daily kilowatt hour usage (kWh). Coffee machines only run for a short amount of time, so you'll need to work out the time in decimals, for example half an hour is 0.5.
