A personal barista is always at hand. What characteristics did I pay attention to when choosing a capsule coffee machine
I entrusted such a responsible role to the DOLCE GUSTO CIRCOLO capsule coffee machine. The main question "Why did you choose her?":
1. Impressed by the original design.
2. Ease of use, everything is clear at an intuitive level.
3. Huge selection of coffee drinks in Dolce Gusto capsules: Mocha, Espresso, Latte Macchiato, hot chocolate, Cappuccino, Lungo, Cappuccino Ice, cocoa.
Specifications
The most important criterion was that this small appliance copes with the preparation of my favorite cappuccino. The coffee machine only seems unpretentious, and the pressure gives 15 bar.
Water tank volume: 1.3 l, removable.
Coffee machine weight: 3.7 kg.
Dimensions: 31.2 cm - 31.6 cm - 26 cm (length - depth - height).
The average preparation time for one cup of coffee is 30 seconds, the cappuccino takes a little longer - 50 seconds.
The principle of operation of the coffee machine
· A sealed coffee capsule is loaded into the compartment.
· The clip is used to uncork the capsule.
· Turning the lever starts the water.
· Hot / cold water and steam pass through the capsule opening.
Pros and cons of a coffee machine
In general, everything in it is okay and good, but there are some points that I would like to improve.
Undoubted advantages:
1. The device does not require constant cleaning. Once a week is enough.
2. Fast preparation time for drinks.
3. There is an automatic shutdown function.
4. Takes up a small area in the kitchen.
5. The glass can be set at 3 heights.
Disadvantages, but you can easily put up with them:
1. The glass holder is not level, but slightly deviates inward.
2. You have to stand and guard the cup until the required volume of liquid is filled. The machine does not control this.
In the series of capsule coffee machines Krups Dolce Gusto, there are several more design options besides Circolo.
Coffee lovers, what do you think? Is there a similar technique in use at home?
