You can have all this at home without the hassle of grinding, tamping and preparing your own coffee with your very own bean to cup coffee machine.

Typical bean to cup machine has a burr grinder built-in, water boiler, high pressure hot steam pump, milk frothing arm (sometime known as the Panarello, adjustable coffee dispenser and drip tray. Some machines even come with active cup warmer.

More advanced systems include a milk frother where cold milk is piped into the machine, steamed and frothed then added to your coffee for that perfect cup of latte or cappuccino. Something we will explore in another post.
