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

The basics of the home coffee machine:

1. At present, the electric coffee makers used at home are generally divided into two forms, the household Italian coffee maker and the American coffee maker:

Espresso machine: can make some flavor close to the cappuccino or latte you usually drink in a cafe.

American coffee machine: let the hot water pass directly through the coffee powder and extract it by drip filtration.

The price of professional Italian coffee maker is generally high, while American coffee maker is relatively more suitable for household use.

Electric drip filter coffee machine

Electric drip filter full name: household electric drip filter coffee machine. As the name implies, first, it uses electricity, and second, the coffee it makes is drip coffee. Its taste concentration can be the same as that made from a siphon pot.

How to use it:

As long as there is electricity, water and coffee powder in the house, you can drink coffee. Put the coffee powder in the filter paper of the powder trough, add water to the water tank, put the glass pot in place correctly, start the power supply, and the coffee will drip out automatically. Cut off the power after the coffee is dripped and drink it.

Coffee powder thickness:

The fineness of coffee powder used to filter coffee depends on whether you use a filter screen or filter paper. If the filter screen is thicker, the filter paper is thinner. This is related to the degree of coffee extraction. In front of me, a friend asked why the electric drip filter could not produce flavor and aroma. One of the reasons is whether to use a filter screen or filter paper and the thickness of the powder. In addition, I suggest that when you buy electric drip filter, buy the one with scale in the water tank, because it can accurately control the ratio of powder to water.

two。 The most important thing in the selection of Italian coffee machine is the stability of extraction: including the stability of pressure and the stability of water temperature.

The stability of the coffee machine extraction can be judged by the appearance of the finished coffee. You can see that there is a very rich and stable coffee oil on the coffee surface, which can be used to judge the coffee machine. The grease is not particularly obvious or dissipates very much, indicating that the extraction state of this cup of coffee is not very ideal, which shows that the performance of this coffee machine is not very good.

3. Household espresso machines are also fully automatic and semi-automatic.

Fully automatic espresso machine: it is very convenient to combine the bean grinder with coffee brewing, and you can directly press the switch to make a cup of coffee you want.

Semi-automatic espresso machine: you need to have an extra bean grinder suitable for grinding Italian coffee.

If you are interested in exploring the taste, you can choose a semi-automatic coffee machine so that you can control the coffee taste by grinding the beans. The fully automatic mode is set and the machine is mixed, so it may be limited to drink coffee with different flavors.

4. Automatic coffee machine maintenance may be more troublesome, the probability of failure will be greater, in the event of failure, its maintenance cost and difficulty are relatively high. The situation of semi-automatic coffee machine is where there is something wrong with maintenance, which will be more convenient to take care of later.

Several principles that must be known in machine selection

one

Try to choose coffee machine products of international brands.

The quality of small household appliances is uneven, even in coffee machine products, this is particularly obvious, the purchase of coffee machine also need to identify well-known brands, with a certain strength and reputation of brand products, the use and after-sale are guaranteed.

Among the well-known brands of coffee machines, almost all are foreign brands. after all, coffee machines originated abroad, and the habits of users at home and abroad are different, and there are not many real coffee machine users in China.

two

Identify the needs before starting to do so

Don't be impulsive, don't follow the trend, be clear about your needs, and don't blindly advocate multi-function. Professional coffee machines usually sell for more than 10,000 yuan. They do have perfect functions and taste, and even have a special coffee cup insulation layer, accurate to the temperature to ensure the taste of the coffee. But for ordinary families, 10,000 yuan can buy a set of ice-washed empty appliances, according to personal taste to choose the corresponding American coffee machine, the price is more friendly to the people.

three

Embedded or multi-purpose

There are two styles of coffee machine, embedded and desktop, which are usually placed in the kitchen. If you set up an open kitchen, for the sake of overall coordination, you can choose the embedded coffee machine. If there is no special demand for this, you can choose the desktop coffee machine.

Here comes the highlight. Which brands of coffee machines can be selected? The coffee experts of Zhihu made the following recommendations--

Several brands that must be known when choosing a machine.

one

The most cost-effective household machine

The three most common household coffee machines on the market, Nespresso, Tassimo and Senseo, are made by Nestl é, Bosch and Philips, respectively. The Senseo coffee maker is one of the better and cheaper ones (it can also be bought on Taobao for less than 1000 yuan). In the case of a limited budget, it is highly recommended that this coffee machine is extremely easy to use and cost-effective.

two

Universal capsule machine

Brief comment: Nestle Coffee Dolce Gusto Circolo can be called an all-round capsule machine. From grinded black coffee to fancy coffee, from Hot Tea, HK Style to chocolate milk. Omnipotent. I don't even need you to prepare milk... In addition, in fact, this series of machines have been on the market in Europe and the United States for a long time, and they can also be bought on Chinese mainland last year.

Usage: put water on the back of the water tank, and then put on the capsule. There are two small places that are designed with great care.

One is that you can adjust the amount of coffee according to your personal preference (see the picture on the right, sliding the roller can adjust the amount of water, and the wheel feels surprisingly good)

Second, according to the height of the cup, the position of the water table can also be up and down.

Recommended people: people who often change drinks or don't know which type of coffee they like; of course, there are people who have slight requirements for the styling of the coffee maker.

An Italian coffee machine like a miniature workstation

Brief comment: Delong Delonghi EC155, Taobao price is about more than 700 yuan. Buy Italian style, mainly gradually dissatisfied with the product of instant and American coffee machine. This model and brand, the brand and cost-effective choice under the cognitive system at that time.

Usage: mainly used to make Italian concentrate and latte. You can also do flower pulling when you have time. Because of the Internet, whether it is picture or video, there are very good learning tutorials. Take some time to prepare, and then adjust the variety of coffee beans, powder size grinding, milk ratio, steam size control, you will soon be able to make a cup of coffee you like.

Recommended crowd: people who have time to make a variety of coffee can consider, Delong this regular, should be a good choice to get started.

Enjoy the simplest combination of Italian American style

Nespresso automatic capsule coffee maker plus a milk can (see the picture below, the price of the conjoined is about 2000), plus a regular drip coffee machine (such as Electrolux Electrolux ECM5210).

Nespresso milk can is highly recommended, it has only two kinds of foam thickness to choose, one button can do hot and cold foam, I think the design is enough for the red dot prize (much better than the award-winning difficult-to-use illy coffee machine); and it can be sold alone (the domestic price is about RMB900), or you can buy a combination set on the picture. As for the price of the capsule coffee machine, it is up to people to be frugal. One set of Nespresso is used to make fancy coffee occasionally, and another drip coffee machine is used to meet the need for a large mug of black coffee in the morning.

Of course, if you want to enjoy the taste of espresso, you don't need money, or if you want to be a barista in the future, take a look at these two. Here are two coffee machines recommended by Sam Kieldsen, editor of Stuff.com, a famous American product evaluation website, after a large number of trials.

Panasonic NC-ZA1

(the domestic price is about 7800.00 yuan)

Suitable for the crowd: lazy but unique taste espresso lovers

Panasonic NC-ZA1 is a coffee machine that turns coffee beans into espresso:

It uses whole coffee beans, grinds them, and then mixes the hot water with these ground coffee beans under certain pressure to make a cup of mellow coffee. But the resemblance to other coffee makers ends here, because unlike the old espresso machine, the NC-ZA1 process is almost automated-and can be controlled on a touch screen.

You don't even have to worry about coffee scraps right away:

They will fall directly into a small box that only needs to be cleaned regularly. Like a 1.4L water tank, this small box can slide out from the front of the machine, which means you don't have to move the machine away from the wall and laboriously pull out the residue box from the back of the machine every few cups of coffee. This is a good design, especially for tanks that often need to be filled with water: every time you turn on the machine, the tank automatically flushes down the pipe to keep it clean, which may be a bit of a mountain out of a molehill, but it ensures that every cup of coffee made by NC-ZA1 is mellow.

The first espresso we made was a bit disappointing: too much water and a light taste.

"maybe the machine can't make good coffee," we muttered. " But the second cup is much better: the rich silky taste is accompanied by a particularly attractive layer of milk foam. This is actually at the same level as the Sage coffee machine, which is more expensive but requires more manual operation.

The coffee maker comes with straws that can be put into milk cans (or Panasonic's own optional "milk can" accessories), so you can make a cup of milk coffee or foam your coffee. You can also adjust the ratio of coffee, water and milk and the temperature before making coffee, and you can save four personal favorite settings in advance in the machine. In addition, you can also use hot water quickly made by the machine to make tea.

The cleaning of the machine is basically done through a preset program (the machine will remind you when it needs to be cleaned), although the soaking kit needs to be removed and cleaned regularly (but as mentioned earlier, the residue box can be easily removed from the front).

Touch screens are relatively common (because they are resistive screens rather than capacitive screens, so you have to exert some force to sense correctly), but this is enough for your use. If you are interested in advanced design, the overall machine design will be to your taste.

Considering that this is Panasonic's first product on the coffee machine, it is already quite amazing. Its overall shape is a bit large, and because of its clean flushing function, the water tank needs to be constantly filled with water, but in addition, NC-ZA1 is an excellent coffee maker with coffee bean processing.

Conclusion: coffee from the future! This robot barista is already great, but Panasonic would be more perfect if it could make a few more adjustments.

Morphy Richards espresso machine

(the domestic price is about 1000.00 yuan)

Suitable for people: aspiring baristas who start with the rapid production of espresso.

A bigger, heavier, and stronger choice than Jovia:

The Morphy Richards coffee maker is part of the company's range of specialty kitchen appliances, and it also looks cool, with a brushed metal front surface and a drip slot. In terms of size, its design is compact enough to be easily placed on the table of traditional cabinets.

A suitable coffee maker should be able to make single or double espresso:

The Morphy Richards coffee maker's nozzle has two nozzles that allow you to make two cups of coffee at the same time, it has a professional steam nozzle to foam, and the tank capacity can reach a pretty good 1.2L, which means you don't have to refill water after making three cups of coffee.

After tasting the espresso and latte made by this coffee machine, I was quite satisfied. The production of milk foam is not particularly good, but the coffee made under 15kpa pressure is delicious and smooth, and the milk foam on the surface also has a beautiful color.

This coffee maker requires more cleaning and maintenance than the Jovia, and you need to clean the foam nozzle after each use, but it is also easy to operate, with only three buttons (coffee, strength, milk heating control) and a knob (foam making).

In the same standard coffee machine, the price of the Morphy Richards coffee machine is quite low, making this ideal and affordable coffee maker the first choice for enjoying the world's top home espresso maker.

Conclusion: a coffee machine with good practicality and appearance and high performance-to-price ratio makes you bid farewell to instant coffee and the way of brewing coffee in a coffee pot.

Super convenience is the capsule coffee machine.

Capsule coffee machine is a new type of coffee machine in recent years. The so-called capsule coffee machine is that manufacturers put coffee powder into a plastic capsule in advance and then fill it with nitrogen to keep it fresh. when we drink coffee, as long as we put the capsule into a special machine, we can quickly drink a cup of strong coffee. Compared with traditional instant coffee, at least a cup of pure coffee is extracted from the capsule, rather than a mixture of cream, emulsifier and coffee powder, so it is different in taste.

Characteristics of Coffee capsule Machine

Convenient

Easy to operate, any novice can easily make a cup of espresso coffee.

clean

There is no need for tedious cleaning, make coffee and recycle the capsule directly.

Health

Health and environmental protection, using Italy's most stringent standard process, through the internationally patented space capsule technology to pack coffee and fill with nitrogen revolutionary system, overwhelm all the current production technology. It is not necessary to unpack and put it directly into the machine, and it is easy to recycle after cooking.

Profession

Under the protection of completely sealed nitrogen-filled packaging, it can effectively keep the coffee fresh, prevent oxidation, and make the shelf life up to 2 years.

Stable quality

The semi-automatic coffee machine is filled with powder manually every time, and the filling strength is different for different people, even for the same person, at different times, there will be changes in filling powder, because human variables lead to unstable coffee quality, while capsule coffee is on the same production line, automatic filling and pressing can ensure the stable quality of each cup of coffee.

Varieties and brands of coffee capsule machines

Since the birth of the coffee capsule machine, although today's capsule coffee machine has been made by many brands, such as the common European E.S.E. System capsule machine, Senseo system for Philips and Douwe Egberts, LavazzaBlue system for Lavazza, alien cake machine for illy and so on. But when it comes to the capsule coffee machine, of course, the first thing that comes to mind is Nestl é's Nespresso, which is the most popular brand we can see in the Spanish market.

one

Nespresso capsule coffee machine

The capsule structure of Nespresso is a concept product put forward by Nestl é in the 1970s. It presses the process of grinding, pressing and brewing of extracted coffee into a molded capsule to complete brewing and extraction at one time, but this epoch-making concept did not become a popular product in the market until 2005. The appearance of the Nespresso-branded capsule coffee machine is very beautiful, the design of the assembly line makes her look very dignified and elegant, and its capsules are also packed in aluminum, which has the most abundant taste of all capsule systems at present.

two

Nespresso Lattissima series EN520

EN520 this machine is authorized by Nestl é to Delong OEM, the workmanship is very exquisite and small, the whole body is almost only one iPad size, and there are five colors, it looks very cute, the girl's heart is full of ~ and the function of EN520 with up to 19Bar pressure system, you can quickly achieve one-click production of Espresso (espresso), Cappuccino (cappuccino) and Machiato (Macchiato), very fast and convenient.

But it should be noted that the design of the EN520 fuselage is so compact that it is difficult to put it safely on the cup holder if you use a larger cup to drink coffee. There is another point is that EN520's Lattissima milk foam system is to pour milk into the integrated milk box of the fuselage, and then hit it out with steam, so the trouble is that you must remember to use up or pour out the milk in the milk box that day, otherwise, once you forget to open and wash it, it is easy to stink and become very dirty the next day, which loses the advantage of the capsule machine to clean up the slag quickly and conveniently, and appears to be weaker in practicality.

three

Nespresso Lattissima series EN720

Nespresso's EN720 is also made by Delong, and this machine is mainly the process of its aluminum alloy body, which is very similar to Apple's Mac Mini. Another thing that is quite compelling is that the top of the EN720 has the function of a warm cup holder, which is quite warm and affectionate.

This capsule coffee machine is divided into home mode and company mode, home mode 30-minute heat engine prompt, company mode 12-hour heat engine prompt; this coffee machine can also make Cappuccino (cappuccino) and Machiato (macchiato) with one click.

But EN720's drawbacks are similar to those of EN520: Delong's compact design makes it difficult to place larger coffee cups, and Lattissima's foam system also makes it troublesome to clean the body, which runs counter to the idea that the capsule machine serves lazy people.

four

Nespresso Citiz series classic style

First of all, its appearance is not so compact, the size of the cup body can be easily placed, and the wide sink under the cup holder keeps the spilled coffee from spilling everywhere. And its milk bubble cup is more compact and delicate than that of Lattissima integrated milk foam system, and it can play hot and cold milk foam to adapt to more coffee games; more importantly, it can be cleaned up with a rag, without the trouble of taking apart and cleaning as the EN520 or EN720 of the Lattissima series.

The only drawback of the classic model may be that its waste capsule box can only hold 10 capsule shells, which is less than the EN720, so you have to prepare to take out the trash a few times.

five

Dolce Gusto capsule coffee machine

Dolce Gusto capsule coffee machine is Nestle's relatively low-end coffee machine, although the appearance is not as beautiful and stylish as Nespresso, but it also looks very ugly, and compared with the previous models, its price is also very favorable. This type of capsule coffee machine can be beat with cream of these Nestle capsule coffee machines, the difference is that Dolce Gusto can make coffee, milk tea, chocolate several drinks and cold drinks, while Nespresso can only make coffee, because Nespresso specializes in the coffee market, and Dolce Gusto is launched to cater to people who do not like coffee or not just coffee. For comparison, Nespresso is better in terms of coffee taste and choice, while Dolce Gusto has more beverage choices.

six

Alien illy capsule machine

Illy's capsule system is more specifically canned coffee powder filled with nitrogen. There has always been a debate about which Nestl é Nespresso capsule is better than illy capsule. It is obvious that illy capsules are not only more expensive than Nespresso, but also far less flavorful than Nespresso, but illy capsules are more professional in the process of extracting coffee. First of all, the illy capsule is a 7g standard can of coffee. Unlike all other capsule systems, it uses a two-stage extraction method: it allows water to pass through the coffee at low pressure, which simulates the pre-embedded function of a professional coffee machine; then it is extracted using 9Bar pressure, which is exactly the same process as a professional coffee machine.

It is worth noting that the coffee Creama extracted from illy capsules lasts a long time, and it is important that its capsules use 100% Arabica coffee beans. So although illy's capsule machine itself is much harder to use than Nespresso's, the quality of the coffee it produces is more standard and more stable.

Extended reading | explain the taste of the capsule in detail

The basic model of Nespresso is so rich that it provides coffee lovers with 16 classic coffee capsules, each with a different taste. These include: 7 mixed espresso, 3 large espresso, 3 pure source espresso and 3 decaf. The color packaging of the basic capsule is related to the taste. The darker the color, the stronger the taste. For example, the deepest black capsule is Indian, which is very smoky, and the red one is the low-caffeinated flavor that girls relatively like.

Illy's coffee capsule flavor

Compared with the complicated taste of Nespresso, the taste of illy coffee capsule is unique. Yes, people are so cold and only make espresso.
