How to choose your favorite coffee machine.

If you prefer Italian style and like the rich / mellow taste, then you must have an Italian coffee maker.

So how do you choose a machine that you like and is cost-effective?

Household use

2.1.The home of enthusiasts

2.2: home for beginners

2.3: home for enthusiasts

So let's talk about household use.

So at which stage do you stay in household use?

1: enthusiast?

If you are not afraid of trouble and some guests in the family will look a little taller in the future, I personally recommend a single-head semi-automatic coffee machine.

Ok is equipped with a bean grinder.

As for what brand it is, you can do it yourself or take a look at Taobao. There is no advertising here.

If you are interested in buying, you can send me a private message and I will tell you some models.

If you are afraid of trouble, and want something convenient.

You have to have a capsule machine and an automatic coffee machine.

Capsule machine also has a good brand, well-known companies (Pacific, Nestle) seem to have.

The fully automatic ones are also intermingled with the good and the bad. If the subject has a good brand and model, you can give me a link to give you some advice.

2: home for beginners?

Beginners usually intend to open a coffee shop or work in a coffee shop.

Then it is obvious that there needs to be an improvement in extraction technology.

Then the mid-end brand of single-head semi-automatic coffee machine is highly recommended.

The price can be about 1-4W. (some commercial planes have dual-head 15000)

3: home for fanatics?

Then it is recommended that the semi-automatic coffee machine comes with a few more items.

Such as siphon pot, hand cup, love pressure, smart pot and so on.

The original Starbucks Mastrena is 10W +, which is not available at retail. It is a pity that Starbucks coffee beans are not fresh enough, baristas are not so fastidious in operation, and individuals are not deep baking control, so Starbucks is not as good as 1000 + imitation S. In addition, the more commonly used two OSCAR and E61 can also be easily destroyed. The mill uses Mazzer mini (with imitation S and E61) and Vario (with OSCAR). In fact, the impact of the mill on coffee production is greater than the coffee machine, if the budget is limited, it is better to smash a better mill.

However, if you like fancy coffee, the single-boiler machine like S is still a little reluctant. The steam is slow and watery.

But forget the semi-automatic / fully automatic machine of the pressurized powder bowl like delonghi.

So, fresh coffee beans + unpressurized powder bowl coffee maker + a better mill, you can beat Starbucks.
