Our Review 4.3/5

If you love high-quality coffee but always find yourself busy, then the Caffeo Barista TS F86/0-100 may be the machine for you! As an automatic bean to cup machine, perfect coffee is just one click away, with a quality to rival anything you can buy down the high street. But this quality and convenience come at a mighty dear price, as this is one of the more expensive machines we feature on our site.

Consistency is the name of the game when it comes to this machine, and you can be confident through the smart touch control panel every coffee imaginable is at your fingertips. There is even a removable milk carafe that sits to the side that can whip up everything from a flat white to a cappuccino. And because this machine has an automatic grinder, you can fill it with any beans of your choosing.

The control panel is well designed and organised out nicely, but if you are a bit of a technophobe, this may not be the machine for you. In comparison, some would love the app that you download to brew coffees from the bed. Others might see this as over-engineering the simple and pure art of brewing coffee. It should also be noted the app is quiet poorly reviews in the app store :O The high price tag as well is enough to put off less enthusiastic coffee lovers. Still, if you can afford the initial cost, you’d save money in the long run on all the outings to Starbucks and Costa.

The Caffeo Barista TS F86/0-100 oozes quality; there’s no denying it. However, it would be possible to make as good a quality coffee using a much cheaper manual espresso machine, like the Barista Express. Still, a lot more can go wrong with that, and you may not want to waste all your time making coffee for your friends when this machine would do it all for you. If you are a technophobe or a true barista, you may want to steer clear, but anyone else who can afford it, I’d say it’d be hard to find a better quality bean to cup machine.
