Trent& Steele HQ101 multiple powder sacs compatible with coffee maker $1479.

The capsule coffee maker does bring a lot of convenience to coffee lovers! Apart from sighing about high-quality coffee, it also has the convenience of instant coffee. However, there is a small problem, that is, the coffee capsules launched by different coffee companies, just like the Chuhe-Han world, can never be enjoyed by coffee machines that are not owned by the same brand. Recently, Hong Kong has introduced a new coffee machine called Trent& Steele HQ101, which is compatible with multiple powder sacs, which is unique in that it can correspond to a variety of different brands of coffee capsules.

For this coffee machine, I asked Youhe coffee machine consultant Michael: "HQ101 is a little different from the general capsule coffee machine, it uses a replaceable inner tank design, the inner part can be subdivided into blades and capsule containers, as long as the corresponding inner tank is replaced, you can drink different brands of coffee." The three sets of liners are Pacific Coffee, Nespresso and Dolce Gusto,Michael: "Don't underestimate these three types, they already correspond to 90% of the coffee capsules on the market in Hong Kong." The reporter is not a coffee drinker, but is more interested in large brands of coffee capsules that do not correspond. "when it comes to big brands of coffee capsules that do not correspond, there are Lavazza and illy, and so on."

Coffee capsule inner tank can be replaced, can correspond to different brands of coffee capsules, but also can be removed and flushed with water hose.

The three sets of inner tanks that follow the machine can correspond to Pacific Coffee, Nespresso and Dolce Gusto respectively, and have already corresponded to no more than 90% of the coffee capsules in Hong Kong.

In addition to the size of different brands of coffee capsules, even the "blades" used to open the capsules are significantly different.

The design of the fuselage is the same as that of a general capsule coffee machine, there is a small water tank on the back of the machine, which can be drunk by 2 to 4 people after each addition of water; the design of the front control panel is simple, with only three buttons, which are the buttons for the switch and the keys for making large cups and small cups of drinks; the attention position is that there is also a small cabinet below, and the used coffee capsules will automatically fall into here and be saved for easy operation. Michael: "in fact, the bladder type capsule coffee machine can be replaced, and there is another obvious advantage, that is, the traditional capsule type coffee machine, the capsule location is located in the machine, in terms of cleaning, most can only rely on the built-in cleaning program; HQ101 uses a replacement inner bladder design, blades and capsule containers can be removed and carefully cleaned, for different types of users, can meet their cleaning needs." Although the cleaning work is important, does the coffee taste like the original machine? "HQ101 uses a pressure of 19 Bar to make coffee. In fact, most high-quality coffee machines in the market use this design. Unless they are commercial coffee machines, they will use a pressure of 21 Bar or more. However, the body of the machine is generally relatively large, so it may not be suitable for the home environment of the general public."

HQ101 uses 19 Bar pressure to brew coffee, and fresh coffee oil can be seen in the coffee. Coffee machine water boiling method, the use of instant heat design, a few seconds after the coffee has been brewed, there is 80.9 ℃.
