The world is big, but the world of coffee is small-Minipresso GR experience

Extreme fruit player: glb1031

Participate in the evaluation of the ultimate fruit for the first time. Thank you for bringing me such a good product. It is a great honor to participate in this evaluation activity.

First of all, let's talk about my understanding of coffee. Maybe I have a lot of nonsense. I just want to share some of my knowledge about coffee here. The first contact with coffee was in junior high school and high school. At that time, I often had to stay up late to study or play games, and coffee began to come into my life-Nestle instant coffee, which accompanied me on sleepless nights for a long time. At most, I've had more than six drinks a night. I've been doing this for almost a year. Later, my stomach was damaged by Nestle. Nestle instant coffee is slightly acidic, and if I drink too much coffee, my stomach acid will increase. I can't drink too much sour coffee now.

Later, the freshly ground coffee from the college graduation coffee shop came into my life. There is no star father in the small city, but there is a big and nice small coffee shop on the street, which is not the common Korean coffee nowadays. He gave me a better understanding of coffee. This makes me want to buy the combination of Oscar + lily wayward. The price of 8k is what I struggle most. But a machine like Oscar is basically an introduction to business. Some local people are more self-willed than me, and some people have joined synesso directly. A Maiteng is on the table. Coffee really doesn't know what suits you until you've tried something better. But I guess I am satisfied with my Rank, that is, Oscar. It is estimated that I will also start with the capsule coffee machine in the near future. Simple, easy and cheap is the main consideration of my choice.

Let's turn around and talk about this trial product-minipresso GR. I saw this product released last year. It was a foreign website at that time. This year, I learned that this product was actually made by a domestic manufacturer. But it is released abroad. But the place of shipment is in China. He also has another sibling product, CA. That is a portable coffee machine that can use capsule coffee. Maybe if I had to choose to buy it myself, I would choose CA. But in terms of playability, GR is more playable.

Let's start with an official English introduction to Minipresso GR:

Minipresso GR is the perfect portable espresso machine for all espresso lovers. Compact, lightweight and versatile, you are free to use any ground coffee.

This is an Italian espresso machine with compact structure, light weight and multi-function, so you are free to drink a cup of coffee anywhere.

A screenshot of the official website

I have the feeling that this designer is so great that he can be in such a small size. Bring me an Espresso machine. BWH only 165x70x60mm, weight only 360g, very mini. This size is only the size of an Apple 6p and can be easily put into the bag. You can see the world as you like.

He really seems to say: "the world is very big, I want to go out for a walk; the world of coffee is very small, but absolutely delicate and profound."

Compared with the red crab, the outer packaging is still relatively high, and there are extreme fruit stickers on the package. Kraft paper packaging is also very simple, and now many product designs use this form of packaging.

On the other side is the simple operation instructions in English. Three simple, you can enjoy a cup of espresso wherever you go. Of course, you can also mix coffee that suits your taste with milk or sugar.

Unpacking is also very simple, the design of Kraft paper, two kinds of color description cards, hand drawing is very simple to inform the user how to use, let the user easy to use.

The product is very good design, the overall frosted plastic material. It is very comfortable to hold it in my hand. I feel that this kind of industrial design is really amazing if Chinese people do it. I am a designer, and I can't put it down when I see such a product. For this kind of product design, I give a high score of 95, and the remaining 5 points need to be more excellent in detail.

The overall feeling of holding it in hand is very good, simple and atmospheric design, and I feel that participating in that red dot design competition is definitely an award-winning work.

The product is divided into six parts as a whole. Followed by spoon, pressure device, sink, powder trough, filter, cup; have to praise the designer, really too careful, in this size, a very large coffee machine reduced to this size.

The position of the liquid has a lot of weight. I don't know what kind of design it is to take it apart.

Pressurized part

Waterproof rubber ring, looking at the online equipment last year, there were a lot of problems, and some of the pressurized equipment was not well sealed after adding water. Will leak in the position of the pressure bar. But I didn't encounter it this time. It may be an improved product. There were no problems in several production processes.

The details of the powder trough, many small holes, extract the essence of coffee during the pressurization process.

There is a website URL at the top of the water cap.

Made in China without accident, this is a guarantee of quality now, isn't it?

Open the pressurized piston. If there is no water, it can be easily operated with one hand.

I am 185 tall, one-handed operation is still a little pressure, when really doing a good job in making coffee, making a cup of espresso with one hand is really tiring, this is heavier than the average grip, it is estimated that the average lady still needs both hands.

About 8 to 9 grams of coffee beans at a time. About a spoonful

After a while, get ready to grind the coffee beans, this time the beans are Anselbia beans, I feel good, I have made it with Oscars several times. But I also watched the coffee machine.

Since it is a manual coffee machine, I also choose a manual mill. I don't have to do it for a long time. 8g beans are exhausting me. It is really spoiled by electronic machines. However, the manual one also has a disadvantage is that the particles are still relatively thick. But it also makes up for the lack of stress to a certain extent. If the pressure cannot be reached with this manual machine, it is more difficult to extract a good espresso. As we all know, the Italian coffee machine requires a pressure of 9 Pa and 92 degrees of water to extract the coffee liquid in a short time. Of course, beans are different, their favorite flavors are different, and they also need to be fine-tuned.

A cup full of coffee powder, 24-70 as a cushion for him.

Once again admire the intention of the design, the spoon and the powder trough fit perfectly, and after the fit, the coffee powder will not spill at all.

The spoon can also act as a powder press when turned over.

The pressed powder looks relatively loose, but it is already good, and it is difficult to knock out a complete coffee cake after making coffee for the first time.

Sink acceleration, probably cable can indicate the amount of water needed, about 60ml. Generally speaking, esp is about 40ml. So it's still plenty.

I was really tired when I started training with one hand. I didn't choose the original water cup in order to take a good picture. At first, it can be pressurized at will, and it may get heavier and heavier when it starts to come out after 10 to 15 times. The heaviest when the effluent becomes the first line. You can tell from the feeling of the tendons in my hand that this is too heavy.

39 grams of coffee can basically extract a cup of esp. But there is still a little disappointment in the taste.

Such beans, such a machine, I do not expect to see tiger spots and so on. There is also relatively little grease.

After tasting it, the taste is still sour. After all, this is the first cup. It is also estimated that the pressure is not up to it at first.

The focus is out of alignment. This is the first coffee cake. It's too hard to knock out.

If you dig it out by force, it should not be a problem to clean the back.

There is a little water left in 60ml. After all, only 39 grams of coffee liquid is extracted.

Later, I searched the sunscreen of this product on the Internet to see everyone's experience. I tried it a few times, and the effect was good. Under the premise of ensuring hot water. It's like preheating the machine with hot water. The back of the liquid effect is not bad, less acerbity. Another is in the piston pressurization process directly on the hands, uniform speed pressurization. Keep your elbows at a direct distance from the cup on the table. You can also get an even cup of esp with a decent taste. After adding milk and sugar, I still got a cup of coffee to my satisfaction.

To sum up:

To briefly talk about my feelings, I feel that I don't know what I want until I've really tried something good. However, if we talk about the price of 300 yuan for this product, we can get such a product with good workmanship and design. I think it's definitely worth it. Maybe what you need is a cup of esp that tastes perfect. You want him to do this and that, but have you ever thought that even Xing Dad's cheapest esp costs about 30 yuan now? I think it's worth it when you pay 10 cups for a machine that can give you a cup of freshly ground coffee every time you go out. It is acceptable to get a good cup of coffee after you are most familiar with the operation.

With regard to his coffee, I feel that I have made about 10 cups before and after I made it. After getting the hang of it, he can still bring me a good cup of coffee, not esp. But just a cup of coffee is still much better than ordinary instant or mai Ji brushing water. To tell you the truth, I don't travel much now, but I'm in the office. It's full of you to take out this and make a cup of freshly ground coffee this afternoon. Not everyone has been exposed to things like freshly ground coffee these days. Great only drank the star father, but the operation of the freshly ground coffee machine is still very high-end in the eyes of many people. Its fragrance is enough to draw the attention of the whole office to you.

With regard to portability and maneuverability, I think it is needless to say that with the mini BWH and weight, you can easily take it wherever you want. Whether it's in the office or in the suburbs on weekends. With regard to cleaning the plastic material all over the body, a simple rinse at the edge of the pipe can solve the problem.

Apart from everything, you can get such a product at a price of 300 yuan. I think it's worth it. Maybe a lot of choices now are that the price of capsule coffee, which is very popular recently, is several times that. And the cost is high in the later stage, after all, each capsule is very expensive. Of course, it is possible that capsule coffee is more stable, but what about price and portability? Again, when you try a good cup of coffee, you will understand what is the delicacy you want.
