Easy to clean bean to Cup Coffee Machines ?
*well atleast my title rhymes* , but yeah I've recently had the beko ceg5311bio machine from this page which was awful to clean/got the stainless steel version as a replacement but not opened it yet while think it'll be much the same,
then whenever I see a bean to cup deal since they've pretty much all said about been a nightmare to clean, I've worked as a barista before so gone back to my old delonghi espresso machine and enjoying that again so is there actually any fully automatic bean to cup machines that are easy to clean ? or would it be recommended to buy a bean to cup but with the group handle/steam wand attachments,
also from my limited bean to cup experience there was way too much over grinding of the coffee beans, the espresso was weak even when doubled, the milk frother on my 1 had an auto cut of but alot of time it wasn't to the 140°c/I still had my milk jug and thermometer while using it to check, thanks for any (if any) advice here.

sorted byFirst world problems eh. At the end of the day I guess you do get rewarded depending on how much effort you put in to it. We used it a lot at the start so making 6 cups in one session made the effort to clean it worthwhile. Guests would even brought their own beans for fun. However when it was just coffee for 2 it just wasn't worth the effort.
That sounds a great way to use it though more per session/different varieties of beans etc etc to see if anything works better cause I did start to change the strength/blend of beans too but in the end the espresso machine worked out so much better for me,
As you say for not worth the effort for 2 I've only been drinking 1 a day recently/double shot so just as easy to fill a double espresso group handle once and clean as I go really.
