How to buy Italian coffee machine or American coffee machine?

Professional coffee knowledge exchange more coffee bean information please follow the coffee workshop (Wechat official account cafe_style)

Classification of Italian coffee machines:

(1) semi-automaton:

Perhaps everyone's requirements are different, but I think: the essence of choice is pressure and temperature stability as the first element, and consider after-sales service, followed by operation (for example, with or without PID) and appearance.

(after the netizens asked which one is better, I have to provide personal advice, please refer to)

(2) full automaton:

In fact, it is the combination of bean grinder and Italian machine.

And use the cooking module to achieve the so-called "one touch'" one-click cooking.

Although it is foolish to operate, it is actually necessary to cook a cup of OK espresso as the base drink.

It is also necessary to adjust the best data like a semi-automaton.

Therefore, I personally think that the way of choice is more or less the same as that of semi-automata.

Because the essence of Italian cooking will not change.

The only consideration is the stability of pressure and water temperature.

It is suggested to compare the differences between the two items first.

But netizens who buy full automata often do so because they don't have time to cook.

Therefore, the simplicity of setting and the amount of parameter adjustment are very important and convenient for users.

Suggestions can be considered together.

But, as the old saying goes:

Just like buying a car, many electronic devices make it enjoyable to drive or ride.

But it still won't turn Yulong into a Ferrari.

Besides, cleaning is very important.

In order to achieve the goal of full automation, there will be a set of modules for grinding beans and cooking.

However, if there is a lack of cleanliness, it is easy to produce smelly oil over a long period of time.

Even the best machines and beans are wasted.

Finally, many people buy full automata and take a fancy to beauty. They have feeling at home.

So, personally, I suggest you choose full automata.

First, it is better to compare the system with stable pressure and water temperature.

The second is the ease of cleaning, and the third is the difficulty of setting and the diversification of parameters.

Finally, just choose one with good after-sales service and beautiful one.

(3). As for the capsule machine, it is actually the same as a full automaton.

It's just that the patent of the capsule is in the hands of a few manufacturers, so there are not many choices.

In addition to the above considerations (there is probably no choice)

Choose more tastes, stable machines, good after-sales service, beautiful machines are fine.

But it is important to know that the nature of the coffee machine will not change.

Pressure and temperature control is often the cover door of this type of machine.

Therefore, if convenience is considered, this is one of the options that can be considered.

But if you choose this model, you don't care whether the coffee itself tastes good or not.

In fact, I think there is still some distance between it and the real espresso machine.

I don't want to fight, but it feels like the sound of a well-trained stereo

When you hear the sound of an ordinary horn, you can hear a lot of noise.)

Of course, there is also a difference in the price of the capsule machine, and there should be a reason for the high price of the machine.

Readers can take a look at the evaluation criteria of the above semi-automata.

There is even a Pod machine between capsule and semi-automatic, fully automatic (such as an I-prefix).

This is more expensive than the capsule machine, but the espresso is closer to the trained 10,000-yuan semi-automaton.

Take a card that is relatively easy to drink recently (embarrassed by fierce advertising) as an example.

Personal opinion: the taste of the whole series is not balanced, the level is not enough, and there is too much bitterness (this is not very good for those of us who often drink espresso)

The part of the milk is powdered milk (but the milk flavor is still strong), and the fineness of the milk foam is of course quite different from that of manual (whether it is a milk bubble pot or steam).

(but I have to admit, it's at least better than the coffee or fast food chains outside.)

But that's what shopping is all about: look at your needs and buy what you need.

It's not that the capsule machine is bad, but what you need to buy this machine is convenient, lightweight and beautiful.

But relatively, there are some places to choose.

One more reminder: the capsule machine should also be cleaned frequently.

I have seen the capsule machine which has not been washed by netizens for more than a year.

I can't bear to see it

Drank a lot of stinky oil, mold, bacteria without knowing it (some people thought it was the taste of the capsule and was surprised)
