Jimmy likes coffee very much. Good coffee with mellow flavor can not only refresh his mind, but also be a good helper for creation. Sometimes when inspiration is exhausted, a cup of coffee can make people think! It is no wonder that many creators like coffee shops. There are so many kinds of coffee. Jimmy likes Italian coffee best, because Italian coffee needs to force very high temperature water and high pressure through very fine and tightly ground coffee powder. Such coffee is espresso coffee. Such a process of high temperature and high pressure can emulsify the oil originally insoluble in water in coffee and turn it into crema of coffee. This does not happen in other coffee making processes. Therefore, Italian coffee is more fragrant and mellow. And although espresso coffee has a lower total caffeine content than other types of coffee because it produces a smaller volume of coffee per serving of coffee powder. In short, it smells better, tastes stronger and has a coffee essence layer, but the caffeine intake is less, no wonder so many people like espresso coffee! In the past, you may need to go to a coffee shop to drink Italian coffee, but the coffee shop is relatively noisy, and if you need to refer to some information, you can't always go to the coffee shop! Think about it or prepare a good coffee machine at home is more practical! Now Philips Philip has also launched [Saeco Home espresso machine], so that you can enjoy tasting all kinds of coffee beans collected from traveling around at home, so that it is even more creative! It's great, check out Jimmy's presentation!

[Saeco] is Philips brand of espresso coffee machine, many people often wonder why Saeco coffee machine is so expensive, in fact, this is because Saeco is an espresso coffee machine, generally cheaper and lower prices are drip coffee, that is, hot water through coffee powder filtration, so smell, drink taste are not as good as espresso coffee, so the price difference will be so big!

Saeco is the inventor of the automatic espresso machine and the number one brand in the European espresso machine market. It was invented in 1985, while PHILIPS is the leading brand of American coffee machines. PHILIPS acquired Saeco in 2009. Jimmy, this is Saeco HD8761. Besides making espresso, it can also make milk foam.

The way to use is very simple, first turn on the power button, the first time you use it will clean yourself a little, and then press ESPRESSO directly on the top left to brew a cup of espresso!

After pressing the button, there is a progress BAR below to see the progress.

Because this is a fully automatic espresso machine, he grinds, presses, heats, and pressurizes the hot water through the ground coffee

The height of the front coffee outlet can be adjusted up and down depending on the height of the coffee cup, the height is 70-145 mm, so no matter where the coffee cup collected from all over the world can be used, such a high cup can also be used (remember to use a heat-resistant glass when using a glass)

The second button is regular coffee.

It's about the size of a standard coffee cup. Jimmy doesn't have milk and grows like this. It tastes much lighter than ESPRESSO. Jimmy still likes to drink ESPRESSO, but the taste is different. If you can't stand the strong taste of ESPRESSO, you can choose this one.

Coffee for breakfast is great!

While using mobile phone to absorb information, while tasting freshly brewed coffee without going out, really good enjoyment!

The third button [AROMA] can select the coffee powder and coffee intensity

After using it a few times, you need to clean up the coffee grounds inside! At this time, put the coffee outlet up, you can take out the coffee grounds and sink below!

The coffee grounds inside are a piece of cake rather than a powder like drip-type oh, because this is Italian coffee, is compressed after high temperature and high pressure hot water, so coffee becomes such a piece of cake!

There's a floating structure in the tank below.

So when this orange structure floats up, the watch is already full of water, remember to go to the water to avoid full out! And this structure is also very clever here, because when it rises, the coffee cup will not fit!

The machine will automatically clean and descale, easy maintenance and maintenance, and the last button CALC CLEAN is calcium removal function, a calcium removal process takes about an hour, and can not be cancelled, calcium removal can be placed below a larger container
