Espresso coffee machines are divided into several types: 1. Capsule - for the rapid preparation of espresso using a capsule, weighing 7 grams. Although this is not the optimal weight for one espresso cup( it should be 8-10), but the output is a real espresso. This is an excellent option for a cafe. You can clearly control your employees: 1 capsule - 1 coffee.
2. Pump-Espresso is intended for home use only, since the load should not exceed 4-5 cups. In such coffee machines, the pressure in the group is not large( up to 5 bar) and therefore the process of brewing espresso lasts longer than usual. The water temperature can reach 100 degrees( recommended 87-95).Principle of coffee preparation: All available water is brought to a boil in a separate tank until it becomes a steam. When the steam pressure reaches 5 bar, a valve opens through which water enters the coffee vessel.
3. Steam-Espresso coffee makers are designed for brewing coffee in offices, bars, restaurants - everywhere, where there is a large influx of people who want to use a cup of coffee. Such coffee makers can withstand a huge load - from 50 to 200-t cups a day. Most often, the pressure in these coffee makers is 15 bar, and at the output of 9 bar - always pay attention to this. Brewing principle: A special electromagnetic pump creates the required pressure in the vessel, cold water enters there, which quickly heats up and passes through the coffee. The resulting drink has better taste than coffee made in the Steam-Espresso coffee machine.
As I already mentioned, coffee can also be prepared with a French press or a Turkish. But do not forget that one and the same sort of coffee has different tastes when brewed in different types of coffee makers.
I think, with my help, you have decided on the choice of the type of that you need. Now let's go through the manufacturers of coffee machines:
First of all you have to understand that it is better to choose coffee makers from those manufacturers who manufacture only coffee machines themselves and nothing more. Do you think that manufacturers of razors or televisions can make an ideal coffee maker? I think no. This should occupy highly specialized firms. The devices of these brands are tested not by one generation and have a certain limit of confidence. Consider the leaders in the coffee industry:
Saeco is an Italian brand that entered the market back in 1976.In its assortment a huge number of semi-automatic, capsule, drip and automatic coffee machines. By the way, the invention of a fully automatic coffee maker belongs exactly to this brand - in 1985 Saeko patented his invention and gained frenzied popularity. Until now, they are a leader in the development and production of top quality coffee makers.
Spidem is also an Italian company, which began its march in the coffee industry since 1984.It is a part of Saeco International Group. The company Spidem has an excellent line of automatic coffee machines. Products of this company are characterized by ease of handling and quality. This company pays most attention to the development and improvement of coffee machines. She positively proved herself both as a manufacturer of home appliances and professional coffee makers.
Gaggia - the founder of the company Achil Hajia. The company bears his name. It was he who started in 1902 the development of the first coffee machines. And only in 1938 he received a patent for production - this year is considered the year of the foundation of espresso. The company was founded in 1977 and has more than 200 thousand names of coffee equipment. The Hajia coffee machines are suitable for both home and professional use. These brands can be trusted when choosing a coffee maker home. Also you will not lose by choosing a professional coffee maker for a cafe, a bar or a prestigious restaurant.
I do not want to say that there are no more worthy producers than this trio. This is not true. I gave an example of the most popular brands that you can trust when choosing a coffee maker. I hope I helped with the answer to the questions: how to choose coffee makers and what kind of coffee maker to choose a home, office or cafe.
Thank you for choosing the coffee machine. I hope you no longer ask yourself how to choose the right coffee maker.
