lakeland Bean to Cup Filter Coffee Machine – Touchscreen Takes Beans & Ground Coffee

Fab little coffee maker. It's small but easy to use for two mugs of coffee at a time. Looks good with touch screen display, grinds beans well and I would say it's just as good as the much more expensive versions!

Easy to use. Easy to clean. Price amazing.Makes brilliant coffee from beans.Can hear colours after a brew.

Makes a nice cup of coffee, OK if you only want a couple of small cups at a time but its a bit of a faff to clean.

Excellent purchase. TOP VLASS COFFEE.My only complaint is it could of been packaged better.

I bought this to help reduce my Nespresso compatible capsule waste - but I was soon looking for alternatives!The first thing a bean to cup coffee machine has to do is grind the coffee - this Lakeland machine failed at this first hurdle! I found an unacceptably high proportion of my Lavazza Crema e Aroma coffee beans had only been cut in two pieces!So, I purchased a coffee grinder, which improved the coffee quality no end.However, I found cleaning the machine was a bit of a bind, which would have been bearable if the grinder had been more efficient - but as I was pre-grinding the beans the machine had lost it's usefulness.So now I bought a cafetiere!Grinder and cafetiere together cost less than half the price of the Lakeland machine - Lot easier to use and much better coffee.At the end I was using the Lakeland machine about once a week. Now I use the grinder and cafetiere every day - - no brainer.

I've bought this because I love the taste of freshly grinded coffee beans. This is my first cofee machine. Done some research and read tons of reviews before shortlisting this one. Unfortunately, there are not much choices for this price range. I didn't wanted to spend hundreds of pounds for something I wasn't sure I'm gonna use regularly or stick to instant coffee due to quick turnaround time.The machine is good and it makes nice, fresh tasting coffee. However, as most of the other reviewers already told, it's not that easy to clean. I don't know if this is the case with all other coffee machines around this price range. Maybe this will not be a problem if you drink couple of coffees all day and clean it once a day, but I only drink one or two at most per day, so it's not a good design for me. If it was only one chamber with a filter and wet coffee, then it would've been much easier to clean. But for the price, I would still rate this 4 stars. Hope this is helpful :)

Ideal size for me as I’m the only one who drinks coffee enough for 2 mug fulls, keeps warm for half an hour, which is just enough. Love the fact it grinds the beans and fills the kitchen with a delicious coffee aroma. Easy enough to clean and Looks stylish in my kitchen

Our machine is two years old. It is used a few times a week. The filter basket has developed holes. Lakeland do not do replacement parts. We have been told to contact them through Amazon returns but this no longer seems an option, despite it having a three year guarantee. Extremely disappointed in Lakeland.
