Which is better, Breville or delonghi, compared with delonghi, how about a Breville coffee machine?

The last coffee machine was the silver Breville 800ESXL in this photo, which accompanied us for more than seven years.

This machine was seen in Y Pai at that time, and the seller runs a coffee shop, so it is highly recommended. In order to save freight, the relatives who were working in the north at that time were specially asked to carry it back to the central part.

At that time, the price was about ten thousand. As the seller said, it has a low failure rate and is durable and easy to use.

This one was brought in by T's agent at that time, and after one or two models came out one after another, the Breville coffee machine disappeared in the domestic market for a period of time.

Not until 2014, when Uni-President once again imported semi-automatic BES 840XL, 920XL and intelligent semi-automatic 980XL, did Breville coffee machines reappear in the domestic market.

Originally, because the Breville 800ESXL coffee machine is so durable that it has been in use for more than seven years and has never broken down, I have never thought of replacing it before. Until one weekend afternoon when I was hanging out with Wade in Taichung, I found 840, 920 and 980 on the counter of the coffee machine.

The elder sister warmly greeted and explained the characteristics of the three stations. 840 this model and 800EXL are both single boiler and non-professional 58mm cooking head, only with an extra pressure indicator. The 980 combines grinding in the coffee machine, which makes the coffee machine look much heavier, and the price it introduces is quite high, so I gave up on the spot.

What I like most is the 920 model. Because it is a double boiler design, 58mm head, and intelligent PID temperature control system, coupled with its appearance is really good-looking, instantly fascinated us.

Besides explaining, she also invited us to sit down and made us two cups of coffee with 920 at the scene. Oh! I suspect that the cabinet sister has been drugged (laughs). After drinking this cup of coffee, we have the impulse to have it immediately.

But... After listening to the price, let us back down. The price of the stand-alone machine is amazing, and the cabinet sister can see that we are hesitant about the price, and warmly suggest that it is more cost-effective for us to wait for the Mother's Day celebration to cooperate with the department store's thousand get a hundred free activities.

But when I got home, I kept thinking about the appearance of that cup of coffee and the coffee machine. I searched the Internet for discussions about the coffee machine and found that many netizens discussed and shared the machine, especially when I saw the cranberry body that my netizen PO had not introduced into the country. From the bottom of my heart, I think about it every day: this is so beautiful!

However, what is left is that the domestic distributor only introduces silver, not red, which arouses the idea that I want to buy it back to Taiwan from abroad.

After the inquiry, the price of this coffee machine on the ebay website of the United States is as cheap as 20 children in China. If freight is added or returned to Taiwan through purchasing agents, the price is still more than 10 children cheaper than in China.

I deeply feel that living in this land at home, I always have to pay more than other countries in order to buy something I want. I know that the machine agent comes in, and the agent is responsible for warranty, authorization fee, sales fee, inventory pressure. Wait, but the price difference with foreign countries is really too big.

The domestic price is prohibitive, coupled with the fact that we have not introduced the cranberry red we want, so we are determined to buy it from abroad through purchasing agents. As for the warranty that many people are worried about, it may be time to gamble. Because we have used the Breville coffee machine, we have strong confidence in it. If it is unlucky, we will have to send it back to the original factory for repair.

After waiting for about two weeks through purchasing agents, our new friend finally arrived in China from the United States.

That's her, our first double-boiler espresso machine.

The fuselage color is Cranberry cranberry red.

There are three colors in Breville bes920 series, which are silver, red and black (but only silver models are introduced by domestic agents)

Pai Niu laughed more happily than we did when she saw the new coffee machine.

This machine is guaranteed for two years abroad, while the domestic agent is guaranteed for one year.

All the accessories included in the box are as follows:

58mm handle, powder press, milk bubble pot, cleaning turntable, cleaning tool, hexagonal wrench, cleaning tablet, Razor powder adjustment scraper, 4 strainer.

Single layer filter (single / double cup)

Double strainer (single / double cup)

Razor (coffee powder razor) or coffee powder scraper is more appropriate.

There is a picture on the box showing how to use the scraper. That is, after pressing the powder, turn the handle to 90 degrees, then use Razor to scrape off the excess coffee powder.

This tool is very suitable for users who have just come into contact with the machine, making it easier for you to grasp the height and amount of powder.

Unfortunately, domestic agents did not attach this tool.

Girl, this is a powder press, not a telescope @ @

58mm's powder press, which can be attached to the fuselage when not in use, does not take up space, so it is a great design. I just don't know if it is because most foreigners are left-handed, so the design is on the left.

Personally, I think the design is on the right, so it will be easier to take it.

The water tank is at the back of the fuselage with a total capacity of 2.5 liters.

There is a water filter in the water tank and the filter stamens are contained in the white package.

Please soak for 5 minutes before loading the filter stamens.

Put the filter stamens into the water filter.

And then install it in the water tank.

If you don't know how to install it, there are instructions on the side of the water tank.

The upper cover of the machine in front is pressed and bounced back, which can replenish water from the front. The design is very thoughtful.

The design of the plug is easily unplugged, which is super textured.

In addition, the extra wire can often be stuffed into the fuselage, which is quite beautiful.

Below the Logo of the Breville is a pressure indicator for coffee extraction. Personally, I think the watch head is quite textured.

The three buttons on the right are manual, one cup by default and two cups by default.

The lever on the right side of the fuselage is controlled by steam, such as pushing up to open steam and turning off steam down. This kind of plucking lever design is quite easy to use.

The nozzle of the steam pipe is 3 holes, and although the steam volume and the speed of dispelling milk are not as powerful and fast as the 4 or 5 holes of the business machine, it is easier to grasp the rhythm of milk foaming, and the time of killing milk foam is not long.

The knob on the left side of the fuselage controls the effluent of hot water.

The outlet of the hot water is located between the boiling head and the steam pipe, which can be used to warm the cup or brew the drink.

Because I still don't know the characteristics of the machine, I adjusted the thickness of the powder based on my feeling, and I'm ready to try it.

The complimentary filler is not difficult to use.

The state of the powder after pressing, and the height of the powder.

The water temperature of the boiler has reached the set temperature of 93 degrees.

Press the single cup key for about 5 seconds before brewing to stabilize the temperature of the head and clean the coffee powder left in the last extraction.

The first time I put on the handle, it felt a little tight.

The flow rate is not bad.

The pressure gauge head shows about 8bar, which does not reach the perfect 9bar. The coffee powder thickness and the filling force need to be adjusted again.

After the extraction is completed, Crema is OK, and it is believed that it will be better after adjustment.

I'm so touched that I can finally knock out a complete coffee cake.

Then, get ready to snort the milk bubble. Let out the air first and discharge the moisture from the steam pipe for about a few seconds.

The speed of beating milk foam is very fast, in the case of 350cc steel cup, the temperature can reach 60 degrees, and the time is less than 30 seconds.

The surface of the milk foam is smooth and bright.

At first, the flower drawing technique needs to be strengthened, but there is always a beginning. As long as I practice every day, I believe I can easily pull out the pattern of love or leaves soon.

Then briefly introduce the function of this coffee machine.

The extraction temperature can be set in the range of 86 murmur96 degrees, and the default value of the original factory is 93 degrees, which can be adjusted according to personal preference.

Optional extraction amount of 1 cup

Or 2 cup of extraction.

In addition, you can set the cooking time of 1 cup and 2 cup by yourself. As long as you press the button and let it flow out of the head, you can complete the setting by releasing the button after the time you want.

Super intimate booking function, enter the time, and it will turn on automatically every day.

Make an appointment to turn her on automatically at seven o'clock every morning. It only takes about ten minutes for the boiler to be heated to 93 degrees.

This is the right time for Wade to brush his teeth and wash his face. When the toilet is finished, the boiler will be heated.

If the water plate is full, there will be an Emply Me! The buoy floated to remind you to pour out the water from the water plate.

This design has been available from Breville 800ESXL, and I personally like this design very much.

The following is what we have learned from the trial over the past few months, all the parameters will depend on the grade of the bean grinder, the roasting degree / freshness of coffee beans, and filling pressure … And many other factors, so the following parameters are for reference only

Our bean grinder is Pegasus 900N, and the fineness of the powder falls between 2.7 and 3.0 (the actual scale should be fine-tuned according to the baking and freshness of the beans)

About 12 seconds, pressure expression 8--9bar, the hand begins to extract Espresso.

The total extraction time is about 30 seconds (including pre-leaching).

About 2 copies of 30cc's Espresso

And then foam. Let out the steam for about 5 murmurs for 10 seconds to drain the wet moisture. Please make sure that the steam emitted is dry and that there is no large amount of moisture before you start milking.

The amount of milk is about the V lower edge of the V mouth of the flower cup.

The landing point of the steam pipe is about seven to 08:00 (everyone's gesture is different, the correct position depends on personal habits).

Whisk the milk first, and the volume increases after foaming.

When the liquid level rises to 1PU2 of the word V, put the foam tube deep into the milk level and make the milk tumble up and down. Make the foam fuse with milk quickly.

This step will determine the quality of the foam. Bad milk foam will affect the fusion with the base of the coffee machine and make the coffee latte taste worse.

Be sure to clean the steam pipe with a wet cloth immediately after use.

Then remember to deflate for a few seconds and clear out the remaining in the steam pipe.

We are used to using large flower cups to pour foamed milk.

If there are bubbles, please tap the steel cup and the table to eliminate the bubbles.

Mix the milk with the base to make a strong coffee latte.

Over the past four months, Breville BES920CBXL has made our dream of opening a coffee shop at home more complete. I cook and Wade makes coffee. This kind of company is like the movie "Happy Bread". Our life is always surrounded by the smell of coffee and bread, which is a kind of aroma called happiness. Love.
