Speaking of coffee machines, people can’t help but think of the bitter aroma of coffee. But if you want an affordable and practical coffee machine, I think there is no one more suitable than a capsule coffee machine, because it is automatic or Semi-automatic coffee machines often cost several thousand, and they really can’t be labeled as “affordable”.
For most people, espresso coffee may be the first thing we come into contact with. The richness, mellowness and flexibility of Italian coffee make up a variety of different coffee flavors such as cappuccino, latte, macchiato, etc. The initial concentrated base brings endless aftertaste of flavor. As the soul of Italian coffee, espresso releases the purity and essence of coffee to the maximum extent, and the base plays a vital role.
If you focus on Italian coffee, want to explore more possibilities of coffee matching by yourself, and have sufficient budget, an Italian coffee machine may be a good choice.
Common espresso machines are divided into fully automatic and semi-automatic, and capsule coffee machines also have a place.
The fully automatic coffee machine can start from grinding coffee beans, to extracting coffee liquid and even steam heating and frothing milk. It can be done for you with a simple press of a button. We only need to add coffee beans and clean the coffee grounds, and even automatically The process covers machine maintenance and cleaning, and the entire process is very user-friendly.
Advantages: Convenient, saving time and effort, high stability, ensuring the quality of every cup.
Disadvantages: low sense of participation and complicated maintenance.
The semi-automatic coffee machine sounds like it is for advanced coffee lovers. Semi-automatic coffee machines need to pay attention to all production indicators throughout the process, including grinding, filling, pressing powder, frothing milk, etc. Manual adjustment and control give a very high degree of freedom in production.
Advantages: Highly participatory and operable, you can improve your coffee skills through continuous production.
Disadvantages: Relatively time-consuming and requires corresponding coffee brewing skills.
The price of fully automatic coffee machines has also achieved a class leap from a few hundred to tens of thousands, which makes people confused for a while.
You must know that in addition to capsule coffee machines, 100-yuan coffee machines also include American-style fully automatic, 100-yuan toy machines, moka pots, etc., so don’t be surprised by the prices that pop up when searching for “coffee machine”. Although they are both called coffee machines, the differences are quite big.
Especially the semi-automatic coffee machine, it costs one hundred yuan, and it costs ten thousand yuan.
To use a highly involved semi-automatic coffee machine to make a cup of fragrant coffee, you must ensure the extraction pressure of the machine, the stability of the brewing head, the cup size of the powder bowl, the steam head, the cup dispensing capacity and the steam stability is closely related.
Therefore, a series of materials related to taste, such as pressure pumps, heated boilers, and handle powder bowls, are crucial. Low-priced semi-automatic coffee machines have limited costs, and most of them use vibration pumps, heating blocks, etc., which are insufficient. To support the taste comparable to high-end semi-automatic coffee machines.
In addition, you also need to check whether the semi-automatic coffee machine has a bean grinding function. If not, you have to add the budget for the grinder.
In this way, the high-quality and low-priced capsule coffee machine is very suitable for friends who pursue stable product quality.
The capsule coffee machine is simple and convenient to operate. The sealed coffee capsule contains roasted and ground coffee powder. During the coffee making process, the machine provides high-pressure water vapor and injects it into the capsule to extract the concentrated coffee liquid.
This minimalist capsule coffee machine only needs to press buttons to extract coffee liquid according to a predetermined mode, and it is also very convenient to clean.
However, capsule coffee machines have limitations. NESPRESSO, CAFFITA, and ILLY have their own worlds. Their own machines can only match their own capsules, resulting in limited taste choices. However, this does not affect the stability of its production, and its popularity is out of control.
I recommend two capsule coffee machines that I think are very nice. 1. Nescafe Dolce Gusto capsule coffee machine reference price is 990
As a product of Nestlé, there are more choices of capsule coffee with different flavors, which makes this coffee machine more competitive. force reasons. In terms of appearance, this penguin-shaped, small and cute capsule coffee machine has also won the Red Dot Design Award. It is a popular model and is very convenient to carry when going out.
