Bring café-style coffee into your kitchen with the Smeg BCC13 Bean To Cup Automatic Coffee Machine - a compact, fully automatic machine that grinds whole beans, brews coffee, and froths milk at the touch of a button. If you love the idea of espresso and milk drinks without pods, capsules or extra kit on the worktop, the BCC13 is designed to keep things simple while looking the part, too.

This buying guide is here to help you decide if it’s the right fit for your home. We’ll cover what it makes, what it’s like to use day to day, cleaning and upkeep, plus who it suits best (and who might want a different style of machine).

Note: Features and specifications are based on manufacturer information. Prices and promotions can change - please check the product page for the most up-to-date availability and pricing.

Before diving into features, it’s worth understanding why bean to cup machines are increasingly popular:

• Fresher flavour thanks to grinding whole beans on demand

• Greater control over strength and aroma

• Less waste compared to pod systems

• Long-term value for regular coffee drinkers

The Smeg BCC13 takes these benefits and wraps them in unmistakable Italian design.

The BCC13 combines sleek aesthetics with intelligent brewing technology. Finished in elegant matte colourways with brushed aluminium detailing, it complements both contemporary and classic kitchens while maintaining a compact footprint — ideal for modern countertops.
At its core is an integrated conical grinder that transforms whole beans into freshly ground coffee for every cup. This ensures maximum aroma extraction and consistency, cup after cup.

Key Technical Features:

• 19-bar pump pressure for optimal espresso extraction
• Thermoblock heating system for fast heat-up and precise temperature control
• Integrated automatic milk system for smooth, creamy froth
• Adjustable grind settings to tailor flavour strength
• Removable brewing unit for easy cleaning and maintenance
• Height-adjustable coffee dispenser to accommodate different cup sizes

The result? Consistently balanced coffee, whether you prefer a short espresso or a milk-based favourite.

One of the biggest advantages of the Smeg BCC13 Bean To Cup Coffee Machine is its versatility.

At the touch of a button, you can prepare:

• Espresso

• Americano

• Long coffee

• Hot water (ideal for tea or americanos)

• Cappuccino

• Latte macchiato

• Other milk-based drinks

The automatic milk system eliminates the need for manual steaming, delivering barista-style froth without technique or guesswork.

The BCC13 is designed for simplicity.

Its intuitive control panel makes switching between drink options effortless, while programmable settings allow you to tailor coffee strength and length to your preference.

Maintenance is equally straightforward:

• The Milk System Easy Cleaning function flushes the milk circuit at the press of a button

• The removable brew unit allows thorough rinsing

• Automatic rinse cycles help maintain hygiene

For busy mornings or relaxed weekend brunches, it delivers premium results with minimal effort.

The Smeg BCC13 Bean To Cup Automatic Coffee Machine is ideal for:

Coffee Lovers Who Want Variety

• If you enjoy everything from bold espresso to creamy cappuccino, this machine covers all bases without additional equipment.

Those Who Value Convenience

• Fully automatic brewing and one-touch drinks make it perfect for users who want quality coffee without manual preparation.

Homes with Limited Counter Space

• Its compact design fits neatly into most kitchens without dominating the worktop.

Anyone Looking to Ditch Pods

• Switching to freshly ground beans reduces packaging waste and often improves flavour quality.

Smeg is known for combining performance with statement design, and the BCC13 is no exception. Its clean lines and premium finishes make it more than just a coffee machine - it’s a considered kitchen appliance that complements modern interiors.

If aesthetics matter as much as espresso quality, this model delivers both.

The Smeg BCC13 is worth considering if you want freshly ground, barista-style coffee with minimal effort, wrapped in a compact machine that looks great on the countertop. You’re paying for the convenience of bean-to-cup brewing, one-touch milk drinks, and Smeg’s design-led finish - without needing a separate grinder or milk frother.

It’s a strong fit if you want:  

• Fresh coffee from whole beans at the touch of a button 
• A compact bean-to-cup that doesn’t dominate the worktop
• Automatic milk frothing for cappuccino/latte-style drinks without technique
• A stylish alternative to pod systems (with less packaging waste over time)

You may want to look at other options if you:

• Prefer manual control (dialling in espresso, steaming milk by hand)
• Want very advanced drink profiling or lots of custom recipes
• Don’t want any daily maintenance (bean-to-cup machines still need routine emptying/rinsing)

Real-world buying tip: If you make mostly black coffee, the value is in fresh grinding and speed. If you make lots of milk drinks, the automatic milk system becomes the key benefit - just factor in the quick cleaning cycle as part of your routine.

Pricing & promotions: If you’re seeing a discount (for example, on specific colourways), treat it as a bonus rather than a guarantee - promotions can change. Check today’s price on the product page before you buy.

Bottom line: If you want consistent, fresh bean coffee and easy milk drinks in a compact, design-forward machine, the BCC13 makes a lot of sense - especially for households that want great coffee without the learning curve.
