Nowadays, many household appliances can be divided into fully automatic and semi-automatic, and so is the coffee machine. For the household coffee machine, we simply divide it into two categories: "fully automatic" and "semi-automatic". Only for electrical appliances, such as drip filtration, drip leakage, hand flushing equipment is not in this category. )

First of all, let's take a look at the fully automatic coffee machine.

It is more than just grinding, powder filling, powder pressing, filter cooking and cleaning. According to the requirements of users, many new functions have been developed, such as the adjustment of the thickness of ground beans, convenient cappuccino, latte and other fancy coffee, which is extremely stable and can achieve large demand in concentrated time. Its structure is more complex, but it is convenient and fast, good quality, high efficiency, and a wide variety, but if the maintenance is not good, the maintenance cost is also high.

Let's talk about the semi-automatic coffee machine.

Compared with the fully automatic coffee machine, the semi-automatic coffee machine is a professional coffee machine. Why do you say that? Because it does not have the functions of grinding beans, filling powder, pressing powder and so on, it can only use ground coffee powder, and fill it and press powder according to the operator's experience, which is the process of testing the operator's coffee production, so it is called a professional coffee machine. But it has the characteristics of constant water temperature, stable pump pressure, constant steam pressure, convenient operation and so on. But maintenance and repair are more professional and difficult than fully automatic coffee machines.

The classic drip coffee machine

Drip coffee machine is a classic drip filter. Simple, efficient, reliable, suitable for public use. The working principle of the drip coffee machine is also relatively simple. It contains a funnel for holding filter paper and coffee powder. It is essential to have a device for filtering coffee. If you choose to use a drip coffee machine, you have to buy filter paper.

A V-shaped funnel above and an accessible coffee pot below, this is the classic style of the drip coffee maker.

High pressure steam coffee machine

As the name implies, the high-pressure steam coffee machine is a combination of pump pressure and steam. The drip coffee machine mentioned above uses an atmospheric pressure when brewing coffee, that is, it is brewed under atmospheric pressure, while the pump coffee machine is based on the principle of pressure, and the water pressure when brewing coffee is greater than one atmospheric pressure. generally 5-19 atmospheric pressure, the coffee essence is extracted quickly, the coffee is fragrant and strong, and there will be a layer of grease foam.
