Choose beans for a bean-to-cup machine

The machine accepts whole roasted beans, but roast surface and additives affect a compact grinder. Start with a clean, dry medium roast, then adjust taste and strength on the machine.

The decision that matters

Suitability is about bean condition and roast, not locking one brand to one machine.

Why it suits this machine

Bean-to-cup machines move beans through a compact grinder and brew group. Dry-surfaced beans reduce residue and suit both espresso and longer drinks.

Before choosing your coffee

Can I use flavoured beans in a bean-to-cup machine?

Avoid them unless the exact manual permits them. Flavour coatings and sugar can leave residue in the hopper and grinder.
