The coffee machine Tong Nian gave Han Shangyan is too expensive and impractical. These are the most suitable coffee machines for home use.

The most popular TV series this summer is undoubtedly "Go Go Squid!". Although it has ended, the afterglow is still there. Li Xian, who plays the male lead Han Shangyan, is still on the hot search list. As a public account dedicated to coffee, in addition to occasionally paying attention to Li Xian's handsome face and good figure, of course the main focus is still on coffee. For example, near the end of this drama, a coffee machine appeared that caused heated discussions among netizens.

The plot in the drama is that Tong Nian used her scholarship to buy a coffee machine for the K&K Club, and the lines in the drama also mentioned that this coffee machine was very expensive.

You don’t know until you check. Once you check, you’ll be shocked to find that it is indeed very expensive.

Let's talk about this coffee machine first. It looks like a model of Pandorra, an Italian coffee machine brand. This is an Italian coffee machine that is only used in coffee shops. It is not suitable for home use. Just take a look.

Generally speaking, some high-end office buildings and corporate units will also be equipped with a coffee machine, just like Han Shangyan's K&K team. Having such a coffee machine is of course a very good benefit for employees. It is also relatively simple to operate and can make coffee very quickly.

An Italian coffee machine requires a dedicated Italian coffee grinder, which can grind coffee beans very finely. General coffee grinders cost thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars, so it is more cost-effective to use a hand-cranked grinder at home.

Coffee like latte and cappuccino all require milk frothing. Italian coffee machines are equipped with special steam nozzles that spray out hot steam. Even milk just taken out of the refrigerator can be easily frothed to boiling.

Of course, the general temperature for making milk foam is about 60 to 70 degrees Celsius.

Coffee should be drunk while it is hot. The longer it is left, the more the milk foam will collapse and the coffee flavor will be lost.

Many people drink cappuccino with a spoon, which is incorrect. You should drink it directly by holding it up! You can drink coffee, milk and milk foam at the same time, and mix them in your mouth. This is the correct way to drink cappuccino.

Obviously, what conquered these handsome guys was not Tong Nian's superb coffee-making skills, but mainly the powerful functions of the smart and expensive coffee machine.

Life is not like an idol drama, and there is no endless money in the script. It is not difficult for ordinary people to drink a cup of coffee brewed by themselves. Some economical and practical home coffee machines can also meet your needs for a cup of hand-ground coffee.

How to choose a home coffee machine?

No.1

Italian fully automatic and semi-automatic coffee machines

Users who like to drink espresso and fancy coffee choose these two models.

The difference between the two:

■ It is fully automatic and does not require manual operation. The structure corresponding to its rich functions is relatively complex and the maintenance cost is high.

■ Semi-automatic coffee machines are known as the most professional coffee machines. They have better extraction than fully automatic ones, but they require manual filling and pressing of powder, which requires higher operator skills. Compared with fully automatic coffee machines, they have a simpler structure and are easier to maintain.

No.2

Drip coffee machine

For users who don’t want to drink instant coffee and don’t have high requirements for coffee taste, a drip coffee machine is recommended.

The concentration of drip coffee is relatively light, and the operation is relatively simple. The finished product can be produced in 5-8 minutes, which is very suitable for use at home and in the office. However, because it is hot water at normal pressure, the coffee oil cannot be extracted, and the coffee concentration is not high.

No.3

Capsule coffee machine

If you want to drink espresso but are afraid of the trouble, a capsule coffee machine is the best choice. You only need to use the coffee capsule to operate it with one button, and you can enjoy the delicious taste of Italian espresso. Some capsules can also be paired to make fancy coffee.

The disadvantage is that the cost of use is relatively high. A cup of espresso from a fully automatic or semi-automatic Italian machine costs 1-3 yuan, and the cost of a capsule is 3-9 yuan. In addition, capsules from different brands are not compatible.

It should be noted that the choice of capsule coffee machine is actually a selection system. The capsule system determines the number of capsule types and prices you can enjoy later.

Nestlé's Nespresso capsule system has the highest market share, with a wide variety of capsules and low capsule prices. Its machine manufacturers include Siemens, Delonghi, Miele, and Krups.

The Italian coffee made by illy's Iperespresso capsule system is the most authentic. The selling point is the taste of illy Italian coffee, and the capsules are expensive.

DolceGusto is also Nestlé's capsule system. Its highlight is fancy coffee. It has an additional auxiliary capsule, so fancy coffee can be made with two capsules. Now it also has beverage capsules.

In addition, there is the Tassimo capsule system under Mondelez, which has a relatively low market share. However, this capsule system has a QR code. The machine will determine the type of capsule based on the QR code and set the optimal water temperature and water volume, which is very convenient to use.

In addition to price, the most important thing to pay attention to when choosing a home coffee machine is the taste of the coffee it produces.

Li Xian's expression just shows that the price of the coffee machine is not absolutely proportional to the taste of the coffee~
