Important! At this point, you can not save. The life of the appliance depends on the device of the brewing element.

Grinding regulation

The quality of a coffee drink depends largely on the grinding of beans. Each person has their own preferences. One - like a drink from a little ground grains, others - prefer grinding "to dust". Therefore, before making a purchase, figure out if it is possible to adjust the grinding of grains on the unit.

Important! If the grinding adjustment function is not available, then focus on the average.

Water heating system device

There are devices with the “double boiler” function on sale, in others it is absent. Is this option important?

The speed of preparation of a coffee beverage depends on how efficiently the heating system works. In a device with a double boiler, the water heats up almost instantly. If this system does not exist, you have to wait a bit. Which option to choose is up to you. Decide what is more important for you: saving time or money.

Important! If you are purchasing a cappuccino coffee machine, it is advisable to purchase a double-heated coffee machine. Whipping cream and the process of making coffee will be significantly accelerated.

Additional options

• Type of millstone. If silent operation of the device is important to you, pay attention to ceramics. And metal ones provide the best grinding quality.
• Heated cups. The moment is quite controversial. Regarding whether it is worth pouring a drink into a preheated cup, there are diametrically opposed opinions. Whether or not to pay money for this extra feature is your final decision.
• Care and maintenance - manual or automatic cleaning. It is better, of course, that everything happens offline - so you have to spend much less time. And you can’t ignore equipment maintenance.
• Design. Of course, it is very desirable that the coffee machine harmoniously fit into the interior of the room.
