The overall winner is…

1st Gaggia Anima Deluxe

Price: £699

T3 rates: It’s not stupidly big, it’s not difficult to use and, while it doesn’t offer presets for lattes and the like, the simple button-led approach means you can make almost any coffee drink dead quickly.

T3 sl ates: You need to know what goes into milky drinks to have a chance of making good ones with this. It also has no smartphone smarts.

T3 says: Are you willing to put in a little effort? The Anima Deluxe is a bean-to-cup machine that seems like it has the real coffee fan in mind. And that’s actually rarer than you might think.
