Rank #5 in Best Bean to Cup Coffee Machines 2026: 10 Ranked, and the Spec Sheets That Do Not Add Up
Melitta Barista T SMART Bean to Cup Coffee Machine
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Melitta Barista T SMART F83/0-102 is fifth in our guide to bean-to-cup machines, at £319.00. Melitta sells it as a compact automatic with 18 pre-set specialities, app control over Bluetooth, two airtight grain compartments, a ground coffee chute and a 1.8-litre tank. On the electrical side this is one of the listings that holds together: 1450 watts feeding a 15-bar pump, which is the same territory as the other 1450-1500 W automatics in this guide.
The number to read twice is the 4.1. It is the average of 484 ratings, and the breakdown underneath it is doing more work than the headline: 67 per cent of those ratings are five stars and 14 per cent are one star. A machine that two buyers in three rate top marks and one in seven rates bottom marks lands at about 4.1, so the average tells you less about it than the split does. The dimensions are worth a look too: 60 cm deep, 42 cm wide, 39 cm high, and 10.8 kg. That is deeper than it is tall, which is not the usual shape for a bean-to-cup machine with a 1.8-litre tank, so measure your worktop before ordering. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing, not from our own testing.
