Cappuccino coffee machine

What a pleasure to pamper yourself with great coffee and even with topping. Modern appliances allow you to do it right at home. It is enough to buy a coffee machine with a cappuccinator - and the need to visit coffee shops for the sake of this delicacy will disappear. Only one third of the cappuccino loved by many consists of espresso coffee, and all the rest is milk frothy foam whipped with hot steam.

In order to get milk froth, in the coffee machine there should be a cappuccinator: mechanical or automatic. When using a mechanical cappuccinator, it is necessary to control the mixing of air with milk and steam. For this, a cup of milk is placed under the “panarello” - the so-called tube with steam - where milk is whipped with special movements.

Automatic cappuccinator is much simpler, since it practically excludes the presence of a person.Everything is made by the mechanism itself, feeding into the cup the ready-made milk froth. Automatic cappuccinators have various modifications:

• With the function of whipping milk in the foam;
• With the functions of whipping and heating the milk.

A cappuccinator is also called a beater or blowing agent. The principle of operation is very simple: it includes the functioning of a spray gun that mixes steam with milk. Automatic cappuccinator has a nozzle tube. It is immersed in a container of milk. The pressure in the spray gun changes, under its influence the milk is drawn into the cappuccinator and mixed with steam there.

When using a mechanical device, the milk foams in the “pitcher” (a separate whipping container), and then the foam is put into the cup. Steam, beating the milk and heating the water, is formed in the boiler. Panarello works in a similar way: it is also a spray bottle that mixes steam with milk.

There are 2 types of cappuccinators: steam, those that use steam to get the foam, and those that do not use steam. As a rule, in coffee machines, the foam is whipped using steam beaters:

• manual cappuccinator "panarello" - nozzles for beating,
• autocapacitor with milk intake from the tank,
• autocapacitor-jug, which has the function of supplying foam,
• mechanical steam cappuccinators.

Autocapsucators with milk intake from a separate container are installed in place of the panarello. The required amount of milk passes through the silicone tube, after which it foams in the cappuccino maker, at the end of which the foam is poured into the cup. Beater-jug set from the front of the machine. The process of beating in it is completely automatic and is carried out when you press a single button.

Whiskers that do not use steam make the foam mechanically using a whisk, which rotates at very high speed. Externally, this device is similar to a mixer or blender. Beating is carried out in a matter of seconds, as a result of a steady fluffy foam. The device works on two batteries, it is very easy to use.

A similar mechanism of work and electric milk beater. The only difference is that it operates from the electrical network and has a heating system for milk. Coffee pods can be either with a cappuccinator (mechanical or automatic) or without it. Universal coffee machines suggest the possibility of autonomous control of a cappuccinator with a choice of the volume of foam, milk, and an archive of successfully selected settings.

When choosing a coffee machine for the home, it is important to consider the size of the room where it will be installed, since models come in a wide variety of sizes. The selected vehicle must match the style of the room in which it will be located. But the most important thing is its functional characteristics.

You should consider your preferences when choosing a grain, capsular or pod coffee machines.Despite the ease of use of capsule and chaldovye machines, automatic cereal coffee machines are better suited for home use. Since (as compared with capsules and pods), the purchase of coffee beans does not cause any difficulties and provides an opportunity to vary the taste.

An important factor in choosing is reliability and quality. The guarantor of these characteristics - brands that have proven themselves in the market of household appliances. If you prefer coffee machines with an automatic cappuccino machine, you should know that the most expensive of them have a cappuccino machine built in, for making cappuccino or latte there you will need to press only one button. In some models, prepared at the same time 2 cups of drink.

The machines at an average price have a semi-automatic cappuccinator mode: to get a drink, it will be necessary to move the cup manually. In the cheapest models, the milk only foams and warms up, and you need to prepare the drink yourself.

Making foam with the help of "panarello" is quite simple, for this you need:

• place the container with milk near the coffee machine;
• remove the nozzle, to do this, first slightly loosen the nut, connect the beater to the tube to supply steam or hot water, then tighten the nut;
• immerse the tube in a container with milk;
• put a cup under the cappuccinator;
• turn on the regulator for steam supply;
• moving the pin on the cachipunator, it is possible to control the density of the foam;
• the best result of whipping gives the cooled milk.

After work, the beater should be rinsed. To do this, unscrew the nut, remove the tube, the hinge part, lift the lid, remove the stud and silicone tube, rinse everything with water, reassemble. In cars with autocapacitor, simply press the desired button.
