Built-in coffee machine

Strong aromatic coffee in the morning is a great tradition and a pledge of a good day. Amazing invigorating drink does not lose its popularity for many years, acquiring new forms and types. Now at home you can make not only classic coffee, but also various kinds of beverages based on it - for example, cappuccino, latte, mocha and others. In most cases, it is difficult to do without specialized kitchen equipment. A true connoisseur of taste will say that it is almost impossible to make a good drink without a coffee machine.

Some time popular various options for coffee makers. Until now, they are one of the easiest and most affordable ways to automate the preparation of coffee at home. However, one glance at such equipment and a professional coffee machine is enough to understand what a huge difference there is.

One of the main features of embedded coffee machines, which is also the main advantage, is a large range of functions, allowing not only changing cooking time, temperature, strength and other parameters, but also preparing completely different types of drinks.

Of course, many manufacturers of equipment provided mobile versions of coffee machines. Usually the ability to move the device is always presented as its positive quality. If you make a comparison with embedded types, you can find that mobility is not a very obvious advantage. The fact is that the built-in coffee machine will take up much less space in your kitchen, and its fixation and the absence of the need for movement will only save expensive equipment from the risk of damage if it falls or hit.

They are not so practical, they look too bulky, which is especially noticeable in the case of coffee machines - when connected to a water supply system, there is a confusion of hoses and wires.Obviously, in this case, the embedded types are much better.

It is necessary to highlight certain advantages of such technology over various analogues:

• Harmony in combination with other elements of the interior and decor of the kitchen. Typically, the model is a practically flat vertical surface with an ergonomic touch or light panel and cup stands. It looks quite concise and simple.
• Built-in coffee machine does not require a lot of space (unlike their mobile counterparts). This solution is most successful for a modern kitchen-studio or any small house.
• Easy to use. Of course, there are modern models of the same unpretentious coffee makers, in which you just need to pour in soluble powder, add water to the tank, and after use clean the filter. However, in the end you will get a drink that is quite primitive in its taste. The ergonomics and practicality of the built-in coffee machines make it possible to enjoy aromatic and tasty coffee thanks to the push of a single button.
• Good fixation allows to achieve absolutely silent work.

• If you still need to cook large amount of strong coffee, there is no need to return to outdated drip coffee makers. The built-in coffee machine will be able to cope with this task. Most models are equipped with a stop timer and have the ability to sound the notification that the task is completed.
• At your disposal will be many additional and convenient features. A good coffee machine can go into the so-called standby mode, thanks to which almost no electricity is used, but you don’t have to switch on the equipment every time. You can constantly maintain a high temperature of water.
• Forget about soluble powders. With this technique, you can easily use natural coffee beans, as a powerful coffee grinder is already built into the coffee machine.

• Do not need to often fill in water into the tank, because modern models are connected directly to the water supply.
• Can adjust coffee strength, the method of its preparation, switch to the "cappuccino" mode and much more.

The most important parameter of such machines in which they differ among themselves is the principle of operation.. Depending on it, the functionality, variety of drinks and much more. To date, there are quite a few variations of coffee machines that can be embedded in the work surface in the kitchen.

The most common carob models. The main principle of their action is the passage of hot steam through the horn, which contains the base for the drink. The output is quite a good classic espresso. The advantages of such machines include ease of operation, reliability, an exhaustive indication of temperature and water, as well as affordability. There were also certain disadvantages:

1. There is no possibility to automate the fortress drink or make something else, not espresso.
2. To refuel the horn ground coffee requires some dexterity. The powder must be compacted to the desired density.
3. After each use have to manually clean the horn from the thick.

Capsule variants are considered more unusual. Their peculiarity lies in the fact that for the manufacture of a certain portion of the drink requires a special capsule, inside which is the base. Thanks to this technology, the variety of coffee drinks is very large, while they acquire the most intense taste and aroma. Such machines are distinguished by their quality, simplicity, precise dosage, and the almost complete lack of need for care, since after operation the capsule with the thick is removed into a special compartment.

Among the disadvantages of capsule coffee machines can be noted:

• More serious expenses, as the constant purchase of capsules is required. Most models are designed to work only with certain "brand" types of capsules, so there may be problems with finding and purchasing them.
• No opportunity to show any creative abilities - for example, adjust the amount of foam or the strength of the drink. The machine works strictly according to a specific scheme - in accordance with the type of capsule.

The best option for you may be a combined model.. Usually it is a machine with a built-in coffee grinder that can work with whole grains, as well as with ground. The best choice is a model in which there is a millstone with a white ceramic surface - this guarantees an excellent aroma and taste, as well as the complete absence of unpleasant bitterness from burning. The only drawback is the need to self flush the system. This is best done after each use of the machine.

Of course, the most expensive and convenient option is a fully automatic coffee machine. This is a mains-operated equipment with a cappuccinator. It has many programs that allow you to easily control the type of drink, its temperature and strength.

A machine of any model can be built into a suitable work surface in your kitchen - regardless of the working system. The only nuance remains only the dimensions.Automatic models are too large, so they are better placed in niches on the walls.

If you are going to buy a coffee machine for your home, you should decide on what kind of functionality you need.. This will mean the choice of a particular model - depending on its system. If you need an inexpensive and easy way to quickly prepare a classic espresso, then the best way is to buy a regular carob machine, but for a wider choice of drinks and features you will need a combined or even automated embedded machine.

Attention should be paid not only to the models and the brand, but also to other details:

1. Quality of drink in the case of carob types, it depends on the selected coffee beans, as well as on the material from which the horn is made. Plastic can spoil the taste and aroma, while the metal base, on the contrary, can “seal” them and make them more concentrated.
2. Drip models are themselves a technique from the cheap price segment, so you should not save on such a machine. Make sure that the main parts are made of metal, while the carafe for the finished drink is best to choose from glass.
3. If you liked the capsule modelit is best to make sure in advance that you will always have the opportunity to purchase new suitable capsules.
4. When choosing a car with integrated coffee grinder pay attention to the material from which the millstones are made. Ceramics are best suited as it does not spoil itself and does not affect the taste of the drink.

The installation of such equipment requires certain skills, so it is sometimes easiest to trust the specialists. Your main task is to choose the right surface. If you are going to purchase a coffee machine, correctly calculate the permissible dimensions and dimensions. If a niche is chosen as the surface, then the most important role is played by the depth - the niche should have a little more than the typewriter.

Also consider the features of the model you choose. Carob, trickle and capsule options are handled manually, so make sure that there is always free and easy access to them.

Such equipment must be of high quality, able to guarantee long-term and flawless operation, as repairs will require dismantling and re-embedding, which is very inconvenient. That is why when choosing should pay attention to the manufacturer. Today the following brands and models of coffee machines are in the lead:
