FOOD ENCOURAGEMENT
In the menu of this coffee machine there are coffee-based drinks, loved by Americans.
Speaking of espresso, 50 ml is a bit much by strict Italian standards, but for many Americans it’s just right.
The crema is soft, coffee-colored, thick and beautiful.
Cappuccino is made with a standard tube, one end of which is inserted directly into the milk carton, while the other end is inserted into the coffee spout of the machine. When using imported milk with high protein content the crema is perfect: dense, strong, delicious. Not only was it easy to hold on to an upturned spoon, but it also held the sugar and was very tasty.
It is not clear why cappuccino and latte have the same volume, and why you have to measure the amount of milk and foam in seconds, but otherwise no complaints about the quality of the drink.
Two-touch brewing: touch button with beverage + center button.
Directly when the coffee is brewing, the central switch can be used during brewing by turning to the right or to the left :
When making espresso, lungo, cappuccino and latte, change the volume of the beverage
When making cappuccino and latte – the milk froth preparation time, thus changing the volume of hot milk.
Changing the factory settings
You can change the factory settings, but in this case they will not be saved. However, you can always return to them by resetting the personal settings.
8 steps – settings→oak→beverage→oak→strength level→oak→volume.
No ability to save both the factory settings and a personal recipe.
PROGRAMMING
No possibility to create a profile and personal recipes.
COFFEE MAKER
3 grind levels: coarse, medium, fine.
Control panel
CONTROL
Convenient, simple, intuitive. The only thing that gets a little tiresome is repeatedly pressing the center button in Economy mode, when the initial press heats the system.
Very nice that the machine speaks American well: “Welcome”, “Enjoy your drink”, “See you later”. A small thing, but a pleasure. Mood rises immediately!
SERVICE
When the machine is turned on for the first time, it performs an automatic self-test.
The cappuccinator is automatically rinsed each time it is switched on and off.
Perform a mechanical cleaning of the milk frother each day when you have finished using the machine.
Automatic rinsing of the foamer can be selected in the service menu.
Cleaning the grounds container and drip tray – a reminder to perform this operation appears on the display.
The water tank has to be cleaned once a month. No indication whether or not the container can be washed in the dishwasher.
The brewing unit can be cleaned either via the service menu or by pressing the rinse/clean key while the coffee brewing unit is shown on the display. Cleaning time – 2 minutes.
No mechanical cleaning of the brewing unit is possible.
The manufacturer does not intentionally force the consumer to clean the brewing unit themselves. Drawing on the experience of the world’s famous coffee producers, the company believes that in this case, the consumer is often tortured with the process of removing the unit and putting it back. There is also a high probability of breakage due to an incorrectly inserted or removed brewing unit.
Comes with a kit to determine the water hardness on your own when installing the machine for the first time.
Descaling is an automatic program that can be started by turning to the menu and selecting the respective program. Time – about 30 min.
The machine will not refuse to brew coffee even if the display indicates that it should descale or clean the brewing unit.
But don’t forget about the necessity of removing limescale, or one fine day you’ll see that the machine doesn’t work.
The water filter must be purchased separately. It is recommended to replace it every 2 months.
But it does not have to be used, it does not affect the operation of the coffee machine. Use of water filter extends the interval between descaling the coffee machine.
