For professional baristas, please follow the coffee workshop (Wechat official account cafe_style)

Many coffee lovers want to be able to make something similar to the cappuccino or latte they usually drink in a cafe. First, you have to have a set of equipment to make espresso:

There are generally two kinds of coffee machines: one is fully automatic and the other is semi-automatic. If you are a novice, if you want to drink Starbucks, choose a fully automatic one, about 1000. Depending on the configuration, you can almost meet your requirements. As for the kind of two or three hundred yuan, household use is fine, but to tell you the truth, the quality is very average. At present, the specific types and characteristics of coffee machines are as follows:

1, drip coffee maker: drip coffee maker is the most popular coffee maker in the family, and it is suitable for daily consumption.

2, capsule coffee machine: the emergence of capsule coffee machine is absolutely the greatest liberation for lazy people who are keen on coffee.

3, automatic coffee machine: compared with the semi-automatic coffee machine, the threshold of the full-automatic coffee machine is slightly higher, and the price basically starts from 3000 yuan. For busy people, a fully automatic coffee machine means that a cup of coffee can be easily made in the process of washing.

There are many brands and types of coffee machines. When choosing coffee machines, we should pay attention to which brands of coffee machines are Delong, Philips, Panasonic and so on. So which brand of coffee machine is better at present?

Most of the duty friends who hang out here are only for household use. I am here to rule out the thunder I stepped on with the spirit of a pawn in front of the car, and make some recommendations! Most of the machines are popular in the circle of friends with a fever. There is evidence to check, but you can skip them if you don't like it. Duty friends can make a reference! Because I am an ash burner, I know a lot about semi-automatic machines. Here is the key recommendation!

Cankun 1826 (1826-400RMB)

Eupa Cankun TSK-1826B4 coffee machine household Italian semi-automatic foam high pressure steam

RMB 499 JD.com

If you don't want to invest too much, you want to feel the good coffee produced by Bixing's father. This product is definitely the most recommended! Less than 300 price, more fine workmanship. Although the fuselage is all plastic, it is of excellent quality. There is not much difference between the products of Cankun, Delong and Philips between 500 and 1000! I have used this machine before, and I have used it with high load for more than 6 years without any problems! The first recommendation of low-end phone!

2. Maxtor elegant EM18 (imitating S) (1600RMB)

I believe that those who have mixed with coffee forums, or friends who have some advanced knowledge of coffee all know it! Take the SILVIA of Blue Flag Leo in Italy as the prototype. Although there is only a 350ML boiler, it is at least a boiler machine. The 57.5 powder bowl is also close to the professional powder bowl of 58MM, regardless of the cooking quality, but if you are lucky (due to the small boiler and unstable temperature), you can still make a qualified ESPRESSO. Although the appearance of fake workmanship is incomparable, the metal edge can be cut. A bucket feels like a gas can! But at the level 1500 price, there is really no machine that can outperform this one. So it is said to be a magic machine among entry-level enthusiasts! Recently, the manufacturer has also introduced a new product, EM19 M2 can finally milk while extracting coffee! If ESP hadn't done the milk before, it was cold. But the price has also gone up by hundreds.

3. Huijia WELHOME 210S2 (3200-3500RMB)

This machine is also a popular model in the circle of feverish friends. Although it is a heating block design, the extraction and steam quality are relatively OK. In addition, the modern appearance design, fine workmanship and fast heat engine speed are respected by many white bone goblins with fast working pace.

4 、 NOUVA OSCAR

This machine is famous and imported from Italy. Although the whole body is also designed with plastic, the 2L class sub-mother boiler ensures stable extraction temperature and strong steam output! The positioning of the manufacturer is accurate, and there is no machine to compete with this product at 5K level! Students who like pulling flowers, don't miss it!

Aibao E61 (7000-10000RMB)

Basically see that the students here have been in the coffee industry for a long time! The extraction of coffee has a more in-depth understanding, so the requirements of the equipment are higher. Aibao E61 uses a very classic E61 cooking head, and introduces a series of high-end configurations such as rotary pump and double-boiler PID temperature control on the high-end model, coupled with fine workmanship and classic retro appearance. But the machine is also fatally wounded, and the steam is too weak. Students who like to play with flowers, this machine certainly can not satisfy your desire!

In fact, China is the home coffee machine manufacturing stronghold all over the world. Except for a few commercial brands (mostly in Italy) and high-end fully automatic brands (such as Jura), most of our common brands are assembled and shipped in the mainland.

Usually we talk about the Italian coffee machine, that is, the pressure coffee machine, out of the espresso. The main producing areas are Shenzhen, Shunde, Zhongshan, Zhuhai, Ningbo and Zhangzhou. We see that DeLonghi (Delong), Krups, HB, Mr.Coffe, Breville, Nespresso (Nestl é) and Morphy (Mofei) are mostly produced by large or small factories here. Here are some of them one by one:

1. Shunde: there is no doubt that Dongling (also known as Xinbao) is the largest, and may now be the largest in the world. Dongling fourth Branch Factory is also the coffee machine division of Dongling. Many of the Mr.Coffee, Morphy, Siemens (ufesa) and Sunbeam we see come from here. The entire Dongling company has more than a dozen branch factories, OEM hundreds of foreign brand kitchen appliances. It also has a branch that specializes in American coffee machines, where Electrolux and Black&Decker 's American coffee machines are made. For example, this DL-KF6001, the 400 yuan espresso machine with steam is still very powerful.

The Italian "imported" water pump in the product details is actually a 19Bar pump produced by an Italian company in Xiaolan, Zhongshan. In fact, we sometimes struggle that this pressure is a misunderstanding. In fact, the pressure of the pump goes through reflux valves, one-way valves and other pipes, and the actual pressure acting on coffee powder will not exceed 10Bar. Coffee machine also has a boiler party, it seems that the boiler is not professional enough, in fact, like this kind of 850W heating, 350cc capacity boiler with sudden temperature control is generally (95 ±5 degrees), this kind of temperature control is a little more exquisite with Emerson, general Tongbao or Zhongbao, but it is generally enough to control the water temperature, even if the coffee is continuously brewed like Starbucks, the temperature will not drop much. I specifically verified this with a thermocouple.

2. Shenzhen: the first, second and third capsule machine manufacturers in the world are all in Shenzhen. However, the K-Cup of Green Mountain can not be espresso, and the production line has moved to Qingyuan.

3. Zhuhai & Zhongshan: in fact, it is a company that used to be one of the top three small household appliance manufacturers in the world, but now it is very popular to engage in LED again.

4. Ningbo: who would have thought that the factory that used to make playing cards has become the largest production base of Italian coffee machines in East China. There are nearly a million Lavazza capsule machines here.

5. Zhangzhou: once known as the world's largest manufacturer of small kitchen appliances, it is a smaller and smaller established Taiwanese enterprise.

Shared by: enthusiastic netizen Zhou Pen:

Most respondents complicate simple questions. I've been drinking coffee for a long time, either as a player or every day. In the past, when I had no money to go to school, I used to put pressure on it. Later, I had a relatively stable place to live, tried mocha pots, siphon machines, and so on. Finally, I concluded that semi-automatic espresso machines are the first choice for household coffee machines, which are convenient and easy to use. Coffee is thicker and closer to the taste of cafes than French pressure and siphon.

In China, you can enter a Cankun Italian semi-automatic, the one around 700. I have forgotten the model I bought that year, but it should be easy to use if it is more than 700. In foreign countries, you can buy a more mainstream Delong, the medium price petite EC680 and EC330S will be enough. The price of these two models is too high at home, and if you buy them abroad, the discount is basically half of the domestic price. These are made for one or two people at a time. You can make a mellow cup of coffee in about 3 minutes.

Coffee is a daily drink, and the preferred condition of the machine should be simple and low cost.

"about 1000 yuan is the Cankun level, and the taste is relatively poor. In fact, Delong's semi-automatic machine is not much better. After all, the internal hardware can not keep up. According to your budget, EM-18 meets your budget."

Household American coffee machine: let the hot water pass directly through the coffee powder and extract it by drip filtration.

American coffee machine is a method of brewing coffee that produces a lot of coffee. the taste of the coffee brewed is not as good as that of Italian coffee machine, and American coffee machine can only be brewed with coffee powder. American coffee machine the coffee made by the American coffee machine is already quite light. Because his principle is to pour water on the coffee powder and then flow to the pot.

The American coffee maker is usually divided into upper and lower layers, and the lower layer is a coffee pot made of glass or ceramic. But the American style is very cheap about 200 is quite good quality, the American style found a new use, that is, it can make tea. Generally through the American drip filter to cook, a little similar to the Italian coffee machine, the American drip filter is also to make hot water through the coffee powder tank to extract coffee. But the difference is that the hot water is at atmospheric pressure. American coffee machine, no pressure, only black coffee, that is, American coffee. The coffee made by the American coffee machine is relatively light, without soybean oil, everyone has different tastes and can not make other fancy coffee.

When choosing:

First, use the style that can set the time and turn on and off automatically.

Second, try to choose stainless steel, many people use American machines, may smell a strong smell of plastic, this is because the plastic used is not good.

Third, if you choose plastic, you should choose a black machine because it is black and resistant to dirt.

Fourth, if you choose household use, you should choose more outlet holes, the finer the better, generally at least 9 holes.

Finally, the American drip coffee machine, whether it is the simplest or electronically controlled, will have an automatic heat preservation function, that is, when the coffee is made and the water is finished, the machine can enter the automatic heat preservation state without turning off the machine.

Several principles that must be known in machine selection:

1. Try to choose coffee machine products of international brands.

The quality of small household appliances is uneven, even in coffee machine products, this is particularly obvious, the purchase of coffee machine also need to identify well-known brands, with a certain strength and reputation of brand products, the use and after-sale are guaranteed.

Among the well-known brands of coffee machines, almost all are foreign brands. after all, coffee machines originated abroad, and the habits of users at home and abroad are different, and there are not many real coffee machine users in China.

2. Identify the needs before starting to do so

Don't be impulsive, don't follow the trend, be clear about your needs, and don't blindly advocate multi-function. Professional coffee machines usually sell for more than 10,000 yuan. They do have perfect functions and taste, and even have a special coffee cup insulation layer, accurate to the temperature to ensure the taste of the coffee. But for ordinary families, 10,000 yuan can buy a set of ice-washed empty appliances, according to personal taste to choose the corresponding American coffee machine, the price is more friendly to the people.

3. Embedded or multi-purpose

There are two styles of coffee machine, embedded and desktop, which are usually placed in the kitchen. If you set up an open kitchen, for the sake of overall coordination, you can choose the embedded coffee machine. If there is no special demand for this, you can choose the desktop coffee machine.

The editor of China Brand Network will take an inventory of the top ten brands of coffee machines for you:

1. Philips PHILIPS (founded in 1891 in the Netherlands, China's well-known trademarks, world-famous brands, ten coffee machine brands, the world's top 100 most valuable brands, Philips Electronics (China) Investment Co., Ltd.)

2. Delon Delonghi (in 1902, Italy, a world-renowned multinational group, expert in high-end household electrical appliances, top ten coffee machine brands, Italian Delon Group)

3. Xike Saeco (founded in 1976, one of the most famous coffee machines in the world, the top ten brands of coffee machines, the leader in the field of household and commercial coffee machines, Xike China Co., Ltd.)

4. Electrolux (in 1919, Sweden, one of the world's leading manufacturers of household equipment and professional equipment, top ten coffee machine brands, Fortune 500 enterprises, Electrolux (China) Electrical Appliances Co., Ltd.)

5. Cankun EUPA (founded in 1978 in Taiwan, a world-famous multinational group of production and marketing, top ten coffee machine brands, listed company, Xiamen Cankun Industrial Co., Ltd.)

6. Bolang BRAUN (founded in 1921 in Germany, a large multinational group, Procter & Gamble Pimg brand, ten top coffee machine brands, won a number of international awards, authorized Italy Delong Electric Co., Ltd.)

7. ACA North America (invented the world's first rotary toaster brand, world brand, top ten coffee maker brands, global leading brand, North American Electric Appliances (Zhuhai) Co., Ltd.) in 1934.

8. Panasonic Panasonic (in 1918, Japan, Fortune 500 enterprises, world brands, top ten coffee machine brands, large multinational corporations, one of the world's largest electronics manufacturers, Panasonic (China) Co., Ltd.)

9. Huijia WELHOME (world brand, top ten coffee machine brands, specializing in selling innovative / high-quality small household appliances to Europe, America / Japan and other countries, Huijia Electrical Appliances Manufacturing Co., Ltd.)

10. Dongling Donlim (China well-known trademark, top ten coffee machine brands, industry leading brands, high-tech enterprises, Guangdong famous brands, Guangdong private science and technology enterprises, Guangdong Xinbao Electric Appliance Co., Ltd.)

two。 The most important thing in the selection of Italian coffee machine is the stability of extraction: including the stability of pressure and the stability of water temperature.

The stability of the coffee machine extraction can be judged by the appearance of the finished coffee. You can see that there is a very rich and stable coffee oil on the coffee surface, which can be used to judge the coffee machine. The grease is not particularly obvious or dissipates very much, indicating that the extraction state of this cup of coffee is not very ideal, which shows that the performance of this coffee machine is not very good.

3. Household espresso machines are also fully automatic and semi-automatic.

Fully automatic espresso machine: it is very convenient to combine the bean grinder with coffee brewing, and you can directly press the switch to make a cup of coffee you want.

Shared by: enthusiastic netizens (source Zhihu)

Delon coffee machine coffee beans or coffee powder can be applied, using the latest tranquil comprehensive coffee grinding equipment, there are 13 grinding settings. If you want to taste your own espresso at any time, maybe this Delong automatic coffee machine ESAM4200.S EX:1s is a good choice!

The current price of this coffee maker is 6400 yuan, Delong coffee machine official store: http://www.keediy.com/delonghi

Semi-automatic espresso machine: you need to have an extra bean grinder suitable for grinding Italian coffee.

If you are interested in exploring the taste, you can choose a semi-automatic coffee machine so that you can control the coffee taste by grinding the beans. The fully automatic mode is set and the machine is mixed, so it may be limited to drink coffee with different flavors.

4. Automatic coffee machine maintenance may be more troublesome, the probability of failure will be greater, in the event of failure, its maintenance cost and difficulty are relatively high. The situation of semi-automatic coffee machine is where there is something wrong with maintenance, which will be more convenient to take care of later.

Among the household machines, the combination of Lanchio's silvia coffee maker and Rocky mill is the first choice for the budget. At present, the high-end products in the household machines on the market are full of workmanship and materials, and are also suitable for small commercial use. The price is more than 7K.

Individuals who are more suitable recommend the matching of Delonghi EC750 and solis 166. The current price combination is no more than 5K.

Kenwood ES621 with high performance-to-price ratio is recommended. The price is more than 2K. The workmanship is a little rough and the boiler is a little small. With a mill, taken apart to see, the structure of the mill and the beauty of solis 166is not much, the pump of ULKA. The price-to-performance ratio of their own household is good.

A thousand yuan coffee machine, TSK-1819 coffee machine and flying horse mill. Cheap grinding and Flying Eagle (imitation Pegasus). But personal advice is not to save money. From a personal point of view, grinding is more important than a coffee maker for a cup of espresso.

Shared by: linan (Internet Product Manager)

Brief comment: Delong Delonghi EC155, Taobao price is about more than 700 yuan. Buy Italian style, mainly gradually dissatisfied with the product of instant and American coffee machine. This model and brand, the brand and cost-effective choice under the cognitive system at that time.

Usage: mainly used to make Italian concentrate and latte. You can also do flower pulling when you have time. Because of the Internet, whether it is picture or video, there are very good learning tutorials. Take some time to prepare, and then adjust the variety of coffee beans, powder size grinding, milk ratio, steam size control, you will soon be able to make a cup of coffee you like.

Recommended crowd: people who have time to make a variety of coffee can consider, Delong this regular, should be a good choice to get started.

Bought a set of ideal household coffee equipment online.

As a result, Lao Dong's coffee road began to move towards the stage of mechanization and semi-automation. Ha ha--

"Cankun TSK-1817 Coffee Machine + Huijia ZD-15 Bean Mill"

Personally, I think this combination is still very suitable for novice coffee players or players with a certain foundation.

The grinding effect of the bean grinder is good, but the mouth of the powder can not be compared with the professional, and the coffee powder is easy to fly around-the heart of the bean grinder feels very strong.

Rotate at a low speed, prevent friction and heat, and preserve the aroma of coffee well.
