bean-to-cup
Unground to brewed
Bean-to-cup describes coffee machines that grind whole beans and brew espresso in a single automated process: a bean-to-cup machine for the office.
The term emphasizes freshness—beans are ground immediately before brewing rather than sitting as pre-ground coffee.
It contrasts with pod-based or drip systems that use already-ground coffee.
