If there is one thing I'll remember 2025 for, it will be as the year that the UK discovered the bean-to-cup coffee machine. On Ideal Home, we saw a huge rise in interest in these barista-worthy coffee machines, so it came as no surprise that the coffee machine that Ideal Home readers couldn't stop clicking on wasn't a pod machine, but the Philips 5500 Series Bean-to-Cup Coffee Machine, which is currently reduced by £100 to £549.99 at Amazon.
The Phillips coffee machine wasn't the only best bean-to-cup coffee machine that made the list of our most popular coffee machines in 2025. In fact, based on the number of clicks since January, the top three most popular machines this year were all bean-to-cup models. The best pod coffee machines are a great entryway into the world of coffee machines, but this year, there has been a clear levelling up in the at-home coffee arena.
