If most of your coffee has milk in it, the milk system matters more than anything else on a bean-to-cup machine. There are three broad designs: a carafe that sits on the front and steams itself clean, a two-part jug with no tubes, and a nozzle or tube that draws from a jug or carton. Each makes one-touch lattes and cappuccinos, but they differ a lot in how long cleaning takes every day. This guide compares seven machines on the milk system, how the listing says it is cleaned, how many drinks are on the menu, the tank size and the display. All facts come from the makers' listings. Where a listing does not state something, such as tank size, we mark it Not stated so you know what to check before you buy.
