How do you make coffee with a fully automatic coffee machine?
How does a fully automatic coffee machine work?
You have to fill a fully automatic coffee machine with water and coffee beans. The machine then grinds the coffee beans with grinding discs. The ground coffee falls into the brewing group. After that, the brewing group turns it into a compact puck of ground coffee. The machine then builds up water pressure and pushes water through the ground coffee puck. This is how the machine makes a cup of coffee from freshly ground coffee beans at high pressure. This high pressure ensures that each cup of coffee gets a nice crema.
How do you make a milk specialty?
Do you like coffees with frothed milk? These machines know their way around that. Fully automatic espresso machines have various methods to froth milk. With some devices, you have to froth the milk yourself. Other fully automatic machines froth the milk for you with a milk reservoir or milk tube.
What's the lifespan of a fully automatic?
We can't tell you that an espresso machine lasts 6 years, but we can help you find a sturdy espresso machine. We rate coffee machines based on sturdiness. The sturdier the machine, the longer it'll last. We check the casing, the drip tray, the water tank, and the bean hopper. We test the machines ourselves and check whether the casing is made of stainless steel or plastic. We also check if the drip tray doesn't bend and if it's susceptible to scratches. In addition, we test the water tank and lid of the bean hopper to make sure they're sturdy and close properly.
