Fully automatic coffee machine

Good morning!
We have a Saeco Minute. There are different versions: with a milk frother, with a container, and without. We just decided on this one because of the grinder, the adjustable brewing temperature, and also the grinder and water tank are accessible from the side, unlike some other models where they are accessed from the back. Additionally, it is small and reasonably priced.

Do you really want to bring such a bacteria-breeding machine into your home? A properly boiling hot filter machine - that's coffee enjoyment :). We also have a capsule machine here in the office - plus fully automatic machines in the coffee corners... the capsule machine (Tchibo) tastes better than the expensive FAMs ;).

We also had a capsule machine... The coffee was delicious, no question. But with - now three - coffee addicts in the house, it gets pretty expensive ;)

Hello,

at home we now have a fully automatic machine from DeLonghi with a separate milk tank as a successor model to our Saeco Incanto Digital.

However, we first had to cautiously adjust to the coffee type, grind size, and temperature until we could produce a good-tasting coffee again.

We then tried various sample packs from the coffee roastery we trust and finally settled on two coffee varieties that we now alternate between.

Capsule machines are uninteresting to us purely for economic reasons. Just calculate how much a kilo of coffee costs in capsules – for that money, you could easily treat yourself to a Kopi Luwak or a Jamaica Blue Mountain...

Regards,

Dirk

Hello Dirk,

However, we first had to carefully experiment again with coffee variety, grind size, and temperature until we could produce a well-tasting coffee again.

That's certainly true; it takes quite some time. But then ... ;)

I always see it with my son; he has a capsule machine; in the long run, that really adds up. Therefore, I think capsule machines are more sensible purchases for occasional coffee drinkers. Although I don’t know how durable/palatable capsules once purchased are.

I had to first consult Aunt Google to understand what you were referring to :D

Rhenish regards

This calculation doesn't quite add up. A kilo of Jamaica Blue Mountain currently costs just under €80. I get my coffee for €25 per kilo.;)
