The birth of a good cup of coffee

There are three styles of electric coffee maker

Percolation, drip and vacuum. The percolation coffee pot is the early product of the electric coffee pot, although the price is low, but it is not convenient to use and the reliability is poor. The coffee made by the vacuum electric coffee pot has a strong flavor, but its structure is complex and prone to failure. The fittest survive, and now the only thing left on the market is the drip-type electric coffee maker.

Although there is only one type of electric coffee maker in general, there are ordinary coffee pots that are only used to make coffee powder, two-in-one coffee makers that can grind coffee beans themselves, and Italian steam coffee pots that can make milk bubbles. If you are a 9-to-5 office worker with limited time, a cheap ordinary coffee maker is a good choice, and if you have reached the level of "fever", then the mellow smell of your own ground coffee powder and charcoal-roasted coffee with a beautiful head of milk foam and delicious cinnamon powder will certainly be your best choice.

In terms of specifications, the power of the household electric coffee maker is less than 1000 watts, the capacity is 0.5m / 0.8 liter, and it can make 480 cups of coffee. If you often entertain friends or family, you can also choose a larger capacity, but it is best not to exceed 1.5 liters.

From the quality point of view, the appearance of the electric coffee pot should be a color coordination, the production of fine arts and crafts, the damage of various parts, rough are not allowed, the bottom of the kettle is not leaking is the minimum requirement.

Coffee pot uses three techniques

1. Do not burn empty. Like most kitchen appliances, the electric coffee pot cannot be burned empty. It must be filled with water and coffee before turning on the power. Never turn on the electricity in the empty pot. When brewing coffee, you should always pay attention to the water level in the pot. If the water is about to dry up, you should cut off the power supply in time, otherwise the pot will be burned out.

2. Pay attention to waterproof. The electric coffee pot should not be dry-fired and should not add too much water, otherwise the water will overflow and wet the electric heating element after boiling. At the same time, do not splash water on the electrical parts of the kettle body when adding water, so as not to reduce the insulation performance. When cleaning the coffee pot, the pot body can not be directly immersed in water, but to remove the filter, filter cleaning, other parts had better be wiped with a clean soft cloth.

3. Remove scale regularly. Before using the electric coffee pot for the first time, you should boil two pots of boiling water to remove the bad smell. In the future, the scale should be removed 2-5 times a year according to the use.
