How a bean-to-cup coffee machine works.
In a bean-to-cup coffee machine, beans are ground and delivered to the brewing unit to a basket sitting in the unit. The coffee is then tamped by the unit. Water which is usually heated by a thermoblock or a thermocoil heater is then directed to the basket in the brewing unit under pressure all thanks to the vibration pump.
The espresso brew is delivered into a cup followed up by hot milk for a latte or cappuccino or hot water for an Americano.
The used coffee is ejected to the grind bin where the user empties it. All you do is put coffee beans in the top and empty the used coffee when prompted to do so by the machine.
