More than a year later, the problem of the subject must have been solved. This answer is to help people who have the same problem.

First of all, rule out the situation where some profiteers deceive you and sell you things with low prices at high prices. In the case of transparent market price, everything is a price per cent, and the extra money you spend must buy part of the utility, which may be appearance, durability, performance, or brand value. The real question is whether the utility is worth it to you.

Then let's analyze the situation of the subject:

1. The subject said that the fully automatic coffee machine "will be a lot less fun", which shows that the subject is still very interested in making coffee, in fact, he prefers the semi-automatic coffee machine.

2. The subject mentioned that he likes to drink espresso without sugar and milk, which shows that the effect of steam foam function on the subject is very low.

3. The subject is busy with work and has a limited budget.

Here's the point: let's introduce the impact of espresso equipment on coffee quality.

Many novice players have a misconception about espresso equipment: they think that the quality of coffee is determined by the quality of the coffee machine. Just like many novice baristas and experienced novice baristas have a misunderstanding about coffee making: the technical focus of coffee making is on the action after receiving powder from the bean grinder: filling pressure, timely stop extraction, big milk bubbles, blah blah.

When my technology was basically mature, I tried to use a 100, 000-yuan coffee machine and a 20, 000-yuan mill to make espresso that is hard to swallow, because coffee beans are really not good.

Whether the coffee is good or not, coffee itself is the most important (raw bean quality, roasting / spelling technology), followed by production technology. A large part of this production technology is in the adjustment of the grinding scale, and the amount of powder has been determined; a small part is to stop the extraction at the right time.

In other words: by the time you finish the powder and begin to prepare the powder, the taste of this cup of coffee is 90% fixed. At this time, no matter how cool your powder pressing skills are, it is difficult to change the overall situation. As for playing milk foam and pulling flowers and so on, as long as you are happy.

Italian coffee machine is the most important two points: pressure stability and temperature stability. Pressure stability requires commercial-grade rotary pumps, temperature stability requires alphabetical boilers or double boilers.

The taste of espresso is mainly reflected in two points: extraction rate and concentration. The extraction rate determines whether the espresso liquid is too sour, too bitter and too much sundries relative to the coffee bean itself. The effect of concentration on taste is understood, so I won't explain it.

Temperature and time determine the extraction rate, pressure and grinding degree determine the flow rate, and the flow rate and the final coffee volume determine the concentration and time. This is a complex system of variables, and countless different results can be obtained if all variables are not fixed. So people are used to fixing the temperature: about 92 degrees, fixed: the pressure is about 9 to 10bar, fixed: about 25 to 30 seconds, and then according to the coffee beans and personal taste to adjust the amount of powder and thickness, and then adjust the flow rate and the amount of coffee, so as to produce a cup of espresso with a specific taste. My humble opinion is that when the powder quantity and the scale conflict, we should first find the appropriate scale (coffee powder thickness), and then adjust the powder quantity to achieve a specific flow rate. As for why not the other way around?

Friends who drink espresso can take your coffee machine + entry-level commercial electric mill combination from Delong 67,8900 to Lamar left mouth GS3+ top commercial electric mill combination, try to make a few cups of ordinary commercial beans (20 or 30 yuan / pound), try a few cups of domestic boutique mixed beans (67,890 yuan / half pound), and then try a thousand yuan and three kilograms medium-roasted vat illy. You will naturally agree that this coffee bean is much more important than the equipment.

Then you try a few cups of illy capsules and ask yourself whether the espresso made by your commercial rotary pump + water temperature difference of less than 0.5C + steady and accurate powder pressing technology is better than the coffee made by the capsule machine. You probably understand how much the amount of powder and grinding scale have on the taste.

Next, let's go back to the subject and analyze the prices and selling points of coffee equipment on the market.

In terms of coffee machine performance:

There are two situations.

When the steam bubble function is not discussed, the temperature stable watershed of the household single-head coffee machine is around 5000 yuan nuova Oscar, which has a 1.8-liter mother-to-child boiler, which can be relatively easy to get a stable temperature that can be replicated. Models below Oscar have no essential difference in temperature stability, and it is difficult (not impossible) to obtain a stable and replicable cooking temperature.

While the watershed of pressure stability is 6000mur7000 pieces of various brands of E61 head master boiler rotary pump coffee machines, they can obtain relatively stable pressure. In this regard, there is no essential difference between coffee machines lower than this price, they all use vibrating pumps, and the pressure can not be guaranteed to be stable. With regard to pressure, low-end household phones like to label 15bar, 20bar, etc., which refers to the water pressure at which it can output 15bar, rather than being stable at this pressure all the time.

In terms of steam performance and function, the coffee machines with the worst and worst functions are undoubtedly those with plastic steam nozzles. This kind of coffee machine with plastic mouth is hard to make good foam no matter how skilled you are.

Then there are some coffee machines with good functions but poor performance in the price of three or four thousand yuan, including but not limited to the famous 4000 yuan Lanchio silva and Huijia heating block series. The small boiler pie represented by silva not only has poor steam strength and humidity, but also needs to wait between coffee and steam function switching, so the function is poor. The steam performance of the heating block series is also not ideal, but it can make coffee and steam at the same time, the function is slightly stronger.

In the next level, from the Nova Oscars of 5000 yuan to the Aibo double boiler coffee machine of more than 9000 yuan, all coffee machines with less than 3 liter steam boilers are difficult to have dry and strong steam. But it can also make delicate milk foam, which requires some technology. And compared with the big boiler multi-head machine, heating milk is very slow.

Mobile phone dregs typesetting, a little tired. Let's update the bean grinder later when we have time.

How to update the dividing line? --

First update the conclusion of the coffee machine:

1. If you have money, buy the most expensive one.

two。 If you have a tight budget and like espresso, buy Aibao E61 twin boiler rotary pump version. The cheapest rotary pump model, ultra-high cost performance.

2.1If you like condensed drinks but have a tight budget, buy an Oscar or a royal home-made machine.

2.2 if you like to drink concentrate and have a tight budget, and have time to experience trouble, buy Maxtor's em18, commonly known as imitation s, the king of performance-to-price ratio, but to achieve a temperature difference of less than 2 degrees you need to learn to use a single bowl, and to get more stable pressure, you need to adjust the pressure relief valve.

3. If you like milk coffee, buy an Oscar.

3.1 if you like milk coffee and have a tight budget, buy Huijia kd210s, or Maxtor's em19-m2.

3.2 if your budget is very tight, please choose Maxtor's em18.

3.3 if you are not particular about taste and just want to play with flowers, in fact, any machine above Delong can do it. Cheap ones such as 1000 yuan Gemilai 3500, expensive ones, see the first one.

Next is the bean grinder.

Before we talk about the bean grinder, let's do another review of the user's needs.

General gadgets can be roughly divided into three types: 1. Drink concentrated; 2. Those who drink milk coffee; 3. No, just pull flowers. The bean grinder has a great influence on the first kind, much smaller on the second kind, and almost no effect on the third kind. Yes, pull flowers really do not need a bean grinder, let alone the so-called "perfect extraction". In order to improve bigger, some flower lovers like to say pull flowers: milk coffee needs perfect espresso as the base, needs perfect fusion to look good, and naturally tastes good.

Perfect my ass--

When I see someone say perfect extraction, I can assume that he doesn't know how to extract.

Okay, let's go too far and get back to the point. Today we talk about the bean grinder mainly aimed at the first kind of users. The third kind of user sees the budget to buy freely, the second kind of user lower limit Huijia zd15, the upper limit looks at the budget.

Let's draw a conclusion and talk about the principle and so on when we have time later.

1. If you have the money to buy the most expensive, recommend compak R120 and choose mytho-one for the cheaper ones.

two。 In pursuit of performance-to-price ratio, you can choose the major component version of mazzer, or the cheaper 900n.

3. Like the compact first push mazzer mini-e, cheap can choose eureka mmg (this mill is actually very uniform, but like caking, and there is no component version, it is not convenient to break the caking and clean powder), like compact and convenient to take into account the single product can choose vario.

All the recommendations here are flat knife grinding, the reason to update later, alas, a little busy.

I think it's worth it. First of all, Delong's level of coffee production is sufficient for personal daily use. Secondly, the fully automatic machine is very convenient to use, add beans and water machine to complete preheating, press the button directly from grinding beans to filling powder to extract coffee automatically. Finally, the cost of machine maintenance is not very high, that is, softening water filter element and descaling cleaner two expenses, the price is not expensive. If you use pure water to make coffee soft water filter, you don't have to use it.

With regard to the price you mentioned, it is very suspicious to discount the original price from more than ten thousand to more than five thousand. Could it be the sample machine, the second mobile phone defect machine and the antique inventory accumulator? Do your homework and check the prices of the major online platforms of the corresponding model.

In fact, buying Delong automatic models directly from Amazon in Germany is basically equivalent to a 50% to 40% discount on Bank of China's prices. it is enough to buy a basic model without milk cans, and you don't need a transformer after you get it. You can download the instruction manual on the Chinese website and use it directly. Therefore, the strength of the discount encountered by the subject is actually not very great.

As for the capsule machine, I think it has two advantages: first, the small machine does not take up too much space, coffee table, bookshelf, desk and so on. Second, the tasting period of the capsule is much longer than that of coffee beans, and it is much easier to preserve. In the design of the capsule machine, there is no bean grinding and powder filling mechanism and no coffee extractor. The bean grinding and powder filling work is handed over to the factory. The capsule itself is equivalent to a disposable extractor, and the capsule machine is mainly an electronically controlled boiler. The cost of the machine itself is very low, and the price of the machine is cheap, of course. Its main problems are also obvious: first, the plastic composite capsules are not environmentally friendly enough as consumables; then the price of the capsules is not low, and the long-term use cost is very high; finally, the manufacturers of the capsules are still limited, and there are not many choices. As for buying stainless steel capsules to fill powder by hand, isn't it like buying a manual Italian machine? It's still the kind without a steam nozzle.
