Don't buy a coffee machine: there is an analog that is 10 times cheaper and better. The frother makes the foam better than an expensive cafe
I love coffee. I used to often go to a cafe to buy a cappuccino or latte. All this is not a cheap pleasure. For a cup of coffee, I had to pay from 100 rubles. In an expensive cafe he paid 170-200 rubles for aromatic coffee. I spent about 3500-4500 thousand rubles a month on average. rubles.
I'll tell you how I saved on buying a coffee machine.
I dreamed of buying this unit at home in order to save money on buying coffee. Probably about a year went to different stores to look at the coffee machines and prices. During this time, it was not possible to buy. The cheapest device costs from 25,000 rubles.
I bought an analogue in one Chinese store - a mixer for foaming. It costs a penny (about 200 rubles). Powered by batteries.
After the first use, I had to throw it into the far corner of the kitchen cabinet. He beat it barely like foam, but it fell off after half a minute.
Everything changed when I bought myself a foaming jug. First, I wanted to save money and buy a Oursson or Kitfort foamer. The price for them is less - from 1500 rubles. But I read reviews about them and changed my mind (they burn out quickly, plastic case).
Based on the reviews on the Internet, I chose the Gastrorag DK-003 milk frother. It is even bought by salons to treat their clients to coffee. All reviews are only positive.
No coffee machine beats this machine. And not every cafe will make you such a thick, airy foam.
There are 2 attachments
In the box, along with the copucinator itself, there were 2 nozzles (one for warming, the other for frothing milk). The lid has a attachment for the nozzle.
3 modes:
1. Whisk cold milk into froth without heating. In this case, you need to press the power button and hold for 1-2 seconds.
2. Whips milk into a magic foam and warms up to 65 (+/- 5) degrees. This is the ideal temperature for making delicious coffee.
3. Simply heats milk without frothing.
pros
- Whips milk so quietly that you can barely hear it.
- The foam does not settle for a long time!
- The sides of the bowl are double. Non-stick coating. Stainless steel bowl.
The power of the device is 500 W. Volume 240 ml. The instructions show how to serve and prepare coffee.
How the device works. Cons (cost)
I have a coffee grinder. I buy coffee beans and pray myself. Then you just pour milk into the frother bowl up to the mark, close the lid and turn it on. In a minute or less, the foam is ready.
If you press the button once, then mode 2 will turn on. If you press and hold for 1-2 seconds, it will whip milk without heating. If you insert a black nozzle without a spring, there will be hot milk with a little froth.
After use, I immediately turn off my attachment with the device without a coarse brush, just with a hand with a little soap. The main thing is not to wet the bottom of the cappuccino maker. Do not immerse in water or wash in the dishwasher. More minus: The appliance will not froth the milk if it is less than 3%. Better to take from 4% to be sure. I whipped cream 10% - it comes out very tasty!
Otherwise, I'm glad to buy (2600 rubles. in DNS). Now I will save on buying coffee and treat my friends.
