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

I. Professional type

Although the products in this category are basically commercial models. But there is no shortage of tuhao or enthusiasts who can afford a better coffee machine. Or the company or home has enough space and reserved for it.

At present, the best commercial models are mainly the three major coffee machine brands. La Marzocco 、 Synesso 、 slayer . In addition, nuova's Victoria Arduino has also done a great job in recent years.

La Marzocco FB70 (hot mom)

¥75000-¥90000

Starbucks has been using this brand of machines before. It was only replaced in the past two years. The brand change will be mentioned later.

Hot mom is famous for its stability and can correct your operational mistakes as much as possible. The product is very good.

Synesso

¥180000-¥200000

Yeah, I dialed the right number.

This machine can realize variable pressure extraction. Different pressures can be used at different stages of extraction. It's an advanced player's baby.

Slayer

¥200000-220000

This machine is easy to be confused with Synesso. The biggest feature of the Slayer is its X-shaped legs. There is a manual pre-soaking system in the production. It can make the product more uniform.

Victoria Arduino (Black Hawk)

¥120000-150000

This machine is currently developed by WBC (World Barista Competition). The temperature of each head can be set separately. There is an automatic pre-soaking system. And the electronic scale embedded in the coffee machine. Make sure every cup of coffee is monitored. This machine is more suitable for commercial store use than the above three magic machines.

These are the best coffee machines at present. Of course, there is a lot of room for further choice.

Just to let you know what the best coffee machine looks like.

This is the only machine mentioned in professional models.

Nuova appia 2

¥20000-25000

This machine is a mass production model from nuova (Nova). It's everywhere on the market. The problem with mass production models is that there are a lot of glitches. Good machines are still made in an artificial way. But the advantage is that there are so many machines on the market. So accessories are easier to find and cheaper. Price is transparent. And this machine can be said to be the cheapest commercial model.

Most of the single-ended coffee machines below are under low boiler pressure.

If there is enough pressure, the price is higher than this.

Professional machines may not be the ones most homes and offices will choose. Here is only a brief introduction. And the above models need to be equipped with bean grinder. If you need more information, you can add me Wechat wyyabrx for detailed consultation.

The most famous commercial model that does not use a bean grinder is the Mastrena automatic coffee machine, which is being used by Starbucks.

On the back, it is estimated that you will find more positive pictures to show you.

The price is also around 200000. It's not for sale. This is a custom-made Starbucks model. Concentrate with one click. Milk is also easier to learn. I studied this machine at Starbucks for ten minutes. Mainly tell me the proportion of Starbucks recipe. If you really like this machine. I can also help you find it.

All right, that's the point.

II. Household type

The price of this brand is too much.

Just talk about the advantages and disadvantages of various types.

Single head semi automaton

Advantages: can carry out coffee extraction, can dispose of milk, coffee shop all coffee production, high quality.

Disadvantages: compared with commercial models, the pressure is insufficient (the more expensive ones do not have this problem), need to be equipped with bean grinder, need to learn coffee production, the level is greatly affected by the operator, cleaning is more troublesome.

Price range: thousands to hundreds of thousands

Suitable for people: people who can make their own coffee and want to drink quality coffee in coffee shops, such as lattes.

Experience: as long as it's not too cheap. Basically, the coffee machines are all good. There is not much difference between semi-automata and semi-automata, so it is suitable for private cafes. The area is relatively small, and the use of electricity is more convenient.

Fully automatic coffee machine

Advantages: easy to use, one-click control, freshly ground coffee of high quality, easy to clean. No need for a single bean grinder.

Disadvantages: the overall level of coffee production controlled by computer is not as good as the semi-automatic machine used by good baristas. Some of the milk needs to be disposed of by itself, and it takes skill and learning to beat the milk manually. Some are sent automatically, and the quality of milk is generally not high. Can complete the production of coffee preset by the machine.

Price range: thousands to more than 200,000

Suitable for people: people who don't know how to make coffee, save trouble, don't have high taste, but want to drink coffee of similar quality.

Feeling of use: easy to produce. Don't worry too much. Can you beat the milk and see the model? Ask clearly before you start. If you use good beans and good milk, the taste will improve. This kind of office is used a little more.

Capsule coffee machine

Advantages: small does not take up space. It is convenient to clean. One-click manipulation. It's easy to carry. You don't need a bean grinder.

Disadvantages: the quality of coffee capsules is not high. Insufficient machine pressure, too much extraction. There is a single variety of coffee that can be made (basically only American and concentrated, but that concentrate is the same as American water) can not dispose of milk.

Price range: 500, 600 to thousands of yuan

Suitable for people: for personal use, low requirements for coffee quality, people who like to drink American style.

Experience: coffee taste can only go with the capsule, what flavor capsule can make what kind of coffee. When you buy, you must ask whether the capsule is universal. At present, most capsules on the market are universal with Nestle, otherwise you can only buy a certain brand of capsule.

Drip filter coffee machine

Advantages: cheap, compact, easy to clean. The quality of coffee is higher than that of beans.

Disadvantages: can only make American coffee, can not dispose of milk, need to be equipped with bean grinder, need to master the basic gouache ratio. Cleaning is troublesome.

Price range: 100 yuan to thousands of yuan

Suitable for people: like to drink American coffee. There are requirements for the quality of coffee. People who know the basics of coffee.

Feeling of use: this machine makes the coffee you drink every morning in foreign movies. Controlling the proportion of powder and water can adjust the taste. Besides making coffee, it can also be used to make tea.

III. People-friendly type

The overall characteristic of the people-friendly equipment is that it can produce a higher level of coffee flavor, but it needs a higher level of production. Are easy to start with, but difficult to master. The basic equipment is the necessary equipment, and the other needs will improve the quality. Making coffee with this type of equipment requires a bean grinder to grind the coffee.

Hand-made coffee

Features: clear taste. It can restore the essential taste of coffee.

Basic equipment is required: hand punching pot, filter paper, filter cup.

Experience: you need some basic guidance from professionals. Otherwise, the taste will be very different. There are many types of hand pots and there are also many super beautiful hand pots. With the rise of boutique coffee, the status of hand-brewed coffee has been rising. Many coffee shops, including Starbucks, and hand coffee have been added to the menu.

Siphon coffee

Features: the taste is mellow. The production process has a strong appreciation.

Need basic equipment: siphon pot, heating source, mixing rod

Experience: a strong sense of ritual, the favorite way of brewing coffee in Japan and Taiwan. The whole process of making coffee is very aesthetic. The heating sources are mainly alcohol lamp, gas furnace and light wave furnace. The light wave furnace has no open fire, which is mainly used in commercial use, and it is very beautiful. The siphon pot above is heated by light energy, but its firepower is not as strong as that of the gas furnace.

Mocha pot

Features: there is pressure, grease and rich taste in the production process.

Need basic equipment: mocha pot, heating source.

Feeling of use: in fact, espresso first refers to the coffee made by the mocha pot, and the modern coffee maker is an extension of the mocha pot. But in fact, the mocha pot does great damage to the flavor of the beans. People who like heavy mouth can try to use the only utensils that can extract the coffee oil in the conventional brewing method. In addition to being precious, fat also means that it can pull flowers.

French pressure kettle

Features: ultra-convenient production, environmental protection.

Need basic equipment: French pressure kettle

Feeling of use: there is no easier way than pressing a pot. This pot can also make tea. And because the filter mesh is relatively large, the grinding degree of coffee powder needs rough grinding.

The Philharmonic beat AeroPress.

Features: easy to operate, easy to carry, easy to clean, more balanced taste.

Need basic equipment: Philharmonic pressure, filter paper.

Feeling of use: the Philharmonic pressure has been too hot in the past two years. Philharmonic pressure playability is very high, can freely adjust the water temperature powder water ratio, but also positive pressure back pressure. The most important thing is to be beautiful and easy to carry. At the same time, I drank a cup of coffee made by Philharmonic pressure.
