Coffee machine brand recommendation coffee machine selection guide (including 2018 comparison of the latest models and the focus of the Consumer Council report)

In addition to a "morning" every morning, how can we lose a cup of refreshing coffee? In order to enjoy delicious coffee in a coffee shop, many people will buy a coffee machine. However, there are different models of coffee machine, do you know which one is the most suitable for you? Below, I would like to introduce different types of coffee machines and what to pay attention to when buying coffee machines.

Category of coffee machine (classified according to the way you work)

One, fully automatic coffee machine

When using a fully automatic coffee machine, you only need to put the beans in the coffee bin, and the machine will complete the rest of the process for you until the coffee is produced.

This kind of coffee machine is quite versatile and can be made in American style, espresso or latte. Higher-end machines have their own refrigerators and automatic foam devices, while ordinary models can automatically complete the production of Espresso and American coffee.

Features: easy to use, the quality of the coffee is good. However, it is easy to wear and tear, and there is a greater chance of failure, so we should choose a better brand to buy.

Second, semi-automatic coffee machine

Using a semi-automatic coffee machine requires more programs. First of all, you need to use a special bean grinder to grind the coffee beans into powder, then fill the right amount of coffee powder into the powder bowl in the extraction handle, then compaction by hand, install the coffee machine for extraction, and you can get a cup of Espresso that belongs to you. However, any change in the size and content of the powder and the water temperature of the coffee machine can change the taste of the coffee.

Features: fully functional, good technology can produce high-quality coffee. However, the quality of coffee will be affected if the technology is not good or the coffee beans are affected. And need to buy additional bean grinder, that is, the cost increases. After use, its cleaning program is laborious, so novices are not recommended to use it.

Category of coffee machine (classified according to extraction method)

First, American (traditional drip filter) coffee machine

This kind of coffee machine is used to make coffee by dripping, which is generally composed of an upper funnel-shaped container and a lower coffee pot.

Production method: to put the ground coffee beans into the upper funnel container, the cold water from the water tank will drop into the container containing coffee powder after heating, and then soak and extract and filter into the coffee pot below.

Features: the fuselage is small, easy to operate, no need to use any skills. It only takes a few minutes to make a cup of coffee. Because of its low price and easy to use, it is suitable for ordinary families and coffee beginners. Its disadvantage is that it can produce less coffee patterns, and can not make lattes and other fancy coffee.

Second, Italian (high pressure pump) coffee machine

This kind of coffee machine uses high-pressure hot water to make espresso.

Production method: using high-pressure steam and water mixture to quickly pass through the coffee powder, instant extraction.

Features: due to the production of coffee impurities and rich taste, so the quality of the coffee is higher. Moreover, it has comprehensive functions and can be used to make fancy coffee. However, due to the need to install boilers, the size is larger and the cost is higher.

Third, capsule coffee machine

This is a coffee machine that has attracted the attention of consumers in recent years, specially designed for lazy people with requirements. Strictly speaking, it is also a kind of Italian coffee machine.

Production method: buy all kinds of flavor capsules provided by the machine and the manufacturer. When in use, put the capsule into the coffee machine and press the switch to make a cup of Espresso with medium and high quality.

Features: easy to operate, and high quality coffee products. However, the cost of the capsule is higher, but it is cheaper than the fully automatic coffee machine as a whole. It is compact and easy to clean, so it is suitable for lazy people to use.

The following simple summary can help you better understand the differences between different types of coffee machines.

Apart from knowing the type of coffee machine, you should also consider other aspects before buying it.

Size and weight

If you want to store the coffee maker when you are not using it, you should buy a smaller coffee maker that can be easily moved even in the kitchen cupboard. A larger coffee maker is suitable for use when it is long in one place.

Easy to use

Consider how much time you will spend making coffee. If you have a tight schedule, you should use an easy-to-use coffee machine, such as a capsule coffee maker.

Wattage

The higher the power of the coffee maker, the faster the water boils. If you want to make a lot of coffee, or if you usually need to make a cup of coffee in a short time, you should buy a high-power coffee maker.

Extraction pressure (bar pressure)

The extraction pressure of 9-15bar is the best, because there must be strong enough pressure to make the complete flavor of coffee.

Heating element

The heating system in the coffee machine can heat the water to the optimal temperature (about 90 °). A coffee maker with a heating module (Thermoblock) can prevent caffeine from overheating and leaving a bitter taste.

Automatic shutdown

The coffee with automatic shutdown function automatically shuts down after the set time, thus saving energy and keeping the machine in good working condition.

Steam rod

If you like making Cappuccino, Latte or Macchiato, you should find a coffee maker with a steam bar or a built-in milk foaming function.

Water tank and capacity

A coffee maker with a transparent water tank makes it easy to see how much water is left to make coffee. If you want to make several cups of coffee at once, you should choose a coffee maker with a high-capacity water tank.

Report of the Consumer Council in 2016

In 2016, the Consumer Council selected 12 fully automatic, semi-automatic and capsule coffee machines on the market for testing. Test their production speed, coffee temperature, taste and so on.

In terms of production speed, coffee bag type "Nespresso" Pixie and Lattissima samples make coffee with the fastest speed; fully automatic "Jura" Ena Micro 1 has the fastest production speed; semi-automatic coffee machine uses "De' Longhi" EC680. M Dedica is the fastest.

In addition, the Consumer Council pointed out that the optimal temperature for tasting espresso is 67 ℃, so it can make the taste of the coffee more obvious. However, with the exception of the coffee brewed from "Jura" E6 and Z6, which is the closest to the ideal temperature, the other samples are all below 67 ℃.

In terms of the overall feeling of coffee (such as color, texture, aroma, taste, etc.), in fact, the performance of the coffee machine is not directly related to the price. For example, although the price of "Nespresso" Pixie is low, it can get a total rating of 4 points, which is rated as "drink-free and delicious". However, since the test is reviewed by European reviewers, the taste and feel may be different from that of local users.

The chart below shows the scores of seven of the coffee machines.
