For many of us, morning traditionally begins with a cup of coffee. It is impossible to wake up properly without this ritual. Although sometimes there is a catastrophic lack of time to brew an amazing invigorating drink. So you have to do with a mug of soluble. If you are in no way satisfied with such a replacement, and there is no time to mess with a Turk, then you need a geyser coffee machine. Reviews about this unit are the most supportive.
Italian miracle
Why Italian? Yes, such devices are popular throughout Europe, but it was the Italians who inflamed him with special love. These devices can be found in almost every southern family. And the first patent for production was received at one time by the Italian Alfonso Bialetti.
A modern geyser coffee machine (reviews about it during this time have not become worse) differs from the first samples except in design. The principle of operation has remained the same. The drink is obtained by repeatedly passing through a layer of ground grains of hot water or steam. Despite the apparent complexity, the process is fairly straightforward. Before us are two vessels. In the lower is water, in the upper is coffee. These two compartments are connected in a special way. When heated, water from the lower compartment rises up and passes through the ground coffee beans. Then it falls into the container, where it slowly cools and condenses. And from the container, the aromatic drink is poured into cups.
It takes about five minutes to prepare coffee at the machine. In this case, you will not boil anything, will not run away to the stove, and there is no need to monitor the operation of the device all the time. Independence is what makes a geyser coffee machine so good. Reviews of inveterate coffee lovers claim that the quality of espresso obtained in this way is no worse. Of course, it is difficult to compete with a professional barista, but this device is ideal for home use. Not everyone has the opportunity to pay a tidy sum for a coffee machine. And it takes up a lot of space.
Right choice
When choosing a suitable model, remember that there are devices designed for external heating. Simply put, these units are placed on the stove. And there are designs with a built-in heating element. Geyser-type electric coffee makers operate from a conventional power outlet. That is, you just pour water, pour ground grains, turn on the device in the network and wait for the result. If this is your option, then before buying, pay attention to the power of the product. It ranges from 450 to 1000 watts. The larger the volume of the device, the higher should be its power.
Volume is measured in portions. The lower limit is a small (one cup) geyser coffee machine. Reviews unanimously note that the output portion is small. Therefore, if you are not used to savoring coffee with tiny sips, then take a larger unit.
Brew coffee
So, the device was picked up. Bought and brought home. Now you need to figure out how to use it to get your traditional morning drink.
The instructions for the product usually explain how to use the geyser coffee maker. The process is simple. It is only necessary to fill the lower compartment with water. Then insert the special filter. In the last we fall asleep ground grains. Grinding is better to use medium. We do not compact the powder tightly. We connect two sections, at the same time we do not forget about the obligatory rubber gasket, from above we fasten the upper part in the form of a container. Next, select one of two options. Or we put on the stove an assembled and ready-to-work coffee maker. Or we connect the unit to the network if we have an electric modification.
And after that we do our own business and wait for our aromatic portion of coffee.
