Who doesn’t like to start their day with a cup of coffee? For some people, the opportunity to experience the taste of an invigorating drink is an excellent way to raise your tonus and return to work, someone brightens up hours spent alone, and someone enjoys drinking coffee during a friendly conversation.
There are many known ways to make this wonderful drink.
One of them is making coffee with a coffee maker. Espresso, drip and capsule coffee makers, confidently included in modern everyday life, are very convenient, quite easy to use and relatively inexpensive. Each model is distinguished by certain features.
How to choose a coffee maker? What criteria should be followed? Which brand should I prefer?
Coffee lovers devote much attention to social networks discussing the advantages and disadvantages of such a valuable assistant in the process of preparing a drink as the Redmond coffee maker.
The most important question
By and large, a true lover who was about to buy a coffee maker and puzzled by the difficulty of choosing is seriously concerned about the only thing: does his understanding of the “real taste of coffee” coincide with the understanding of the machine manufacturers? A number of others, one way or another related to the category of consumer comfort, are connected with this issue.
A lot of talk about this was caused by the Redmond coffee maker. Reviews on the Internet about the work of various models of this brand are rather contradictory.
Why do I need a coffee machine
One of the main advantages of the machine, programmed to make coffee, is the ability to completely eliminate human intervention in this difficult process.
Even a professional barista can spoil coffee, having come to work out of sorts. The machine, as the advertisement claims, will never allow this. Provided, of course, the use of quality ingredients.
Automatic coffee makers are most comfortable to use: to make a drink, you just need to press the special button.
The user is given great freedom of choice: an automatic assistant will prepare coffee of any kind, in any of the known ways, working equally well with both grains and ground coffee.
About design
A model of any brand necessarily has the following components in its design:
- a boiler that turns water into steam;
- a device for dispensing water;
- apparatus for monitoring water temperature and steam pressure;
- pressure pump;
- A “brewing group" that turns steam into espresso;
- coffee grinder;
- capacity for coffee;
- cappuccino machine (on most models).
About the features of "communication" with the device
An integral part of automatic coffee machines is the presence of an electronic control unit that equates their intelligence with the level of "thinking" of a domestic robot. This allows the consumer to conduct a “dialogue” with the electronic assistant, to program it for a certain number of servings, the level of strength of the drink, etc.
How to choose
When choosing a coffee maker, experts advise you to pay attention to several points:
- First of all, you need to decide whether the mobile (it takes less space, is mobile) or stationary (built into the kitchen wall, it looks very solid) automatic machine is more to your taste.
- Are there self-cleaning and decalcification options?
- Does the volume of the water tank correspond to the required number of daily servings of the drink.
- There is no need for a large tank for beans (a long stay in the machine robs coffee of aroma). It is better to choose a model with a double tank - for different varieties.
- You should pay attention to whether the favorite model has enough basic recipes for the drink, as well as the presence of a cappuccino machine, with which the machine's capabilities increase many times.
- A nice, although optional option is the backlight function. For those who forget to turn off electrical appliances before leaving for work, it will be useful to have an automatic shutdown timer, which will deprive forgetful owners of reasons to worry about a coffee maker not turned off.
- It is also important to have the function of simultaneously preparing at once not one, but two cups of the drink.
