As long as coffee beans fall, water is the same as milk. It is the simplest and most convenient to make a cup of coffee, but there is nothing to play with. There is no change. I shouldn't have a cup of coffee!

The bean grinder even Espresso 2-in-1 is too big, the appearance of beautiful boy D, with their own adjustment under the grinding bean thick, their own powder, milking steam strength... have their own adjustment... play heavy D, this kind of machine error wo!

However, Brother D commented on the Internet that one of the major problems of the 2-in-1 machine is heat. Coffee beans are most afraid of heat, but the machine has to keep the water temperature to brew coffee and make steam. That means baking D beans for a long time, I'm afraid it's hard to make a cup of high-quality Espresso. Some of Zhong you will die if some of them go bad! die again and again, not again and again, but not as bad as DD!
