FUNCTIONAL TESTING
WATER TANK CAPACITY MIN./MAX. : 1,2 l.
HEIGHT MEASUREMENT WHEN SERVING COFFEE: 10 cm.
WATER TEMPERATURE: 1 cup – 64 ° C, 3 cup – 66 ° C.
MACHINING TWO CUCKS OF COFFEE AT ONE time: slight difference of max. 1-2 mm.
ASSESSMENT OF THE QUALITY OF EXPRESSO: this coffee machine gives very tasty coffee, not bitter, full-bodied, not strong, but not too gentle flavor, medium-long aftertaste, with a sourness, very pleasant. The froth that is always produced in this appliance – beautiful, dense and at the same time delicate, high – claims the prize of consumer sympathy.
FACILITIES OF CURRENT FAMILY PROCESSING: the model has an automatic cappuccinator that not only steams the milk into the pitcher or cup with milk, but with a special pump and pipe takes the milk from one container and takes it to another container, “en route” saturating it with steam and turning it into foam. The advantage of such a device is that you do not need to hold a cup or a pitcher of milk, to make a circular motion with your hand, to regulate the degree of immersion of the tube in the milk, etc.d. There is no risk of overheating the milk and therefore not getting any crema. The disadvantage is that the tube of such a cappuccinator clogs faster than conventional manual nozzles although, of course, any nozzle should be washed after use, and it does not make creamer foam at all. To clean the “autocappuccino” nozzle, pass one third of a cup of clean water through the tube in the same way as you do when making foam.
The test for the Dairy foam TEST WITH SUGAR : sugar remains on the surface of the milk froth for a long time, the froth itself has a correct and uniform consistency.
WEIGHT OF APPLIANCE: 6.9 kg.
PANEL SIZE: 280x235x205 mm.
POWER STREAM LONG: 115 cm.
PRICE: 13 029 Dollars.
USABILITY
FILLING THE WATER TANK: Removable water tank can be removed vertically, has a carrying handle and a cover which can be opened to allow the water to be poured, as well. Everything is very simple and convenient, if it were not for the following nuance: in order to correctly and tightly insert the tank into place, you need to apply force, and “by eye” to determine the correctness of the installation is impossible. The machine will not make coffee if the tank is not correctly positioned.
LABEL MARKING MIN./MAX. WATER LEVEL IN TANK: only the maximum level is marked.
Control Panel LABEL MARKING: understandable. Only 5 buttons, center – on, left – 1 and 2 cup dosage with symbolic drawings, right – boiling water and steam for milk froth.
VOLUME OF COFFEE USED: the machine is programmed to make 1 or 2 cups for espresso and lungo , but it can be reprogrammed to increase or decrease the amount of water per cup.
OPERATION MODE INDICATION: while the appliance is warming up, the central button is flashing, while the lights of all the buttons show that the coffee machine is ready for use. When you press a separate button beverage dosage, steam, boiling water , its backlight flashes.
MODEL FEATURES
In addition to the automatic cappuccinator, the appliance has another advantage: the function of pre-moistening the ground coffee aromatization , this mode is called “preparation of the beverage” in the manual. You can prepare boiling water – it flows through the cappuccinator tap. The coffee maker has 3 filters: for preparing 1 cup, 2 cups and for the use of coffee pods. All capsules and the filter holder are made of stainless steel. Convenient, that the filters are stored in a special compartment in the body of the device. The set also includes a spoon dispenser, on the back of which there is a temp for pressing coffee. The top panel has a marmite – a platform for warming cups with rims. You can use it only once the device is sufficiently warmed up. The body is made of plastic, the marmite, the front panel and the drip tray grid are made of stainless steel.
SUMMARY
THE MOST CONVENIENT CONE
ASKS: simple controls, delicious “outgoing” espresso, “autocappuccino” attachment, pod preparation, number of beverages per cup, compactness.
The cons: There was only one problem: I had to install the tank correctly. It does not always work the first time.
