Siemens EQ300

A £299 one-touch bean-to-cup machine with a ceramic grinder, in-cup milk frothing and a removable brew unit.

Why it qualifiesA £299 in-cup automatic-milk route with one-touch cappuccino, ceramic grinding and a removable brew unit.
Recorded from£299
Width25.1 cm
Depth43.3 cm
Trade-offThe external milk wand still needs cleaning after milk drinks, and one-touch does not mean maintenance-free: the brew unit is removable for rinsing and the machine uses prompted calc’nClean care. The 43.3cm depth and 38.3cm height need measuring. Siemens’ marketing language about perfect taste and long-life grinding is not independent evidence; drink quality, milk temperature, noise, energy and reliability remain untested, so no CoffeeScore is published.

De'Longhi Magnifica Start LatteCrema

An entry-level bean-to-cup machine with automatic milk, a 250g grinder and four one-touch selections.

Why it qualifiesA £299 automatic-milk route with a built-in grinder and four recorded one-touch recipes.
Recorded from£299
Width24 cm
Depth44 cm · allow access space for the removable tank and infuser
Trade-offOnly three of the four buttons are drinks involving coffee—Espresso, Coffee and Latte Macchiato; the fourth is hot water. There is no dedicated one-touch cappuccino, flat white or americano programme. Automatic milk rinsing is not automatic ownership: run CLEAN after the last milk drink, dismantle the carafe within two days, and hand-rinse the infuser monthly. The optional £8.99 DLSC002 filter can model at about £54.69 a year if replaced every two months. Independent taste, milk-temperature, noise, energy and reliability testing is pending, so no CoffeeScore is published.

Bean-to-cup · record 88% complete

De'Longhi Magnifica Start

Automatic bean-to-cup black coffee with a separate manual milk-frothing workflow.

Why it qualifiesA £299.99 manual-frother route for buyers prioritising black coffee or direct milk control.
Recorded from£299.99
Width24 cm
Depth44 cm
Trade-offIt is 44cm deep and milk drinks are not one touch: froth the milk, make the coffee and combine them yourself, then dismantle and rinse the wand parts after every milk use. Rinse the removable infuser by hand about monthly; it is not dishwasher-safe. An optional £8.99 filter replaced every 60 days is roughly £55 a year.

Bean-to-cup · record 91% complete

Philips Series 3300 LatteGo

A lower-priced one-touch bean-to-cup machine with six drink options and a two-part automatic milk carafe.

Why it qualifiesA £349.99 route with a simple two-part automatic milk carafe and removable brew unit.
Recorded from£349.99
Width24.6 cm
Depth43.3 cm
Trade-offThere are no user profiles and the 43.3cm depth needs checking carefully. Philips' SilentBrew wording is a manufacturer comparison, not our own noise measurement, and independent drink, cleaning and reliability tests are pending.
Verified delivered price£549.99Currys · checked 22 Jul 2026Why this route: Selected for stronger current evidence (100/100 versus 90/100). The lower-priced route is £200.00 less but has weaker model, stock, freshness or delivery support. Affiliate status is not used in this choice.

Bean-to-cup · record 92% complete

De'Longhi Rivelia

A compact eight-drink bean-to-cup machine with a manual frother and two interchangeable 250g hoppers.

Why it qualifiesA £574.99 manual-milk Rivelia variant with interchangeable bean hoppers; it must not be confused with the automatic-milk .55 model.
Recorded from£574.99
Width24.5 cm
Depth43 cm
Trade-offThis exact .35 model has a manual steam wand and eight drinks; do not confuse it with .55 automatic-LatteCrema variants offering sixteen recipes. Bean switching is not zero-waste: beans remain below the removed hopper and Switch mode asks you either to make a final coffee or grind them away before the new beans take over. Milk drinks require manual steaming and wand cleaning. The small 1.4L tank, monthly infuser wash, descaling and roughly two-month filter replacement also matter. Independent taste, switching carry-over, milk, noise and reliability tests are pending.

Bean-to-cup · record 93% complete

De'Longhi Rivelia LatteCrema

A compact automatic-milk bean-to-cup machine with sixteen drinks and two interchangeable 250g bean hoppers.

Why it qualifiesA £599 automatic-milk Rivelia route with sixteen drinks and two supplied bean hoppers.
Recorded from£599
Width24.5 cm
Depth43 cm
Trade-offDo not mistake this .55 automatic-milk model for the cheaper .35 manual-frother Rivelia: the interface, milk hardware and drink count differ. At 24.5cm it is fairly narrow, but the 43cm depth and access to its 1.4L tank still need checking. Bean switching is guided rather than instant because beans below the removable hopper must be brewed or ground away. Run the carafe CLEAN rinse after milk use, dismantle it regularly, hand-rinse the removable infuser monthly and budget for optional water filters and descaler. The optional LatteCrema Cool kit is a separate purchase. Independent taste, temperature, noise, energy and reliability tests are pending, so no CoffeeScore is published.

Recorded from£649.99

Trade-offIt occupies substantial counter depth, costs far more than entry bean-to-cup models, and independent noise, drink-quality and long-term cleaning tests are pending.

Common questions

Before you use this shortlist

How were the products in “Bean-to-cup coffee machines under £700” selected?

Every candidate must meet the published rules: A current UK bean-to-cup record with a built-in grinder; A recorded model-specific item price below £700; Milk hardware, cleaning obligations and model variants must remain explicit. Affiliate availability is not an inclusion rule.

Is the first product the best one?

No. This is a transparent database shortlist, not a tested quality ranking. The declared ordering rule is: Lowest recorded item price first. More expensive does not mean better coffee or greater reliability.

Are the prices live?

Prices are dated UK observations rather than a guaranteed checkout quote. This shortlist was reviewed on 2026-07-24; delivery, stock, colour and promotions can change.

Does Home Coffee Index independently test every machine?

Not yet. Independent CoffeeScore results are published only after comparable testing. Manufacturer dimensions and features remain labelled as claims unless independently verified.
