To my knowledge, this may the following coffee machines:
Melitta CAFFEO CI
Melitta Barista
Siemens EQ6 Series 700
Miele CM
Panasonic NC ZA1HXE
This list is the state of my research and can gladly be supplemented.
In the pictures and videos all make a good impression, so we have all the equipment viewed in several stores "live". Visually us the Melitta Barista liked best.
As written here, there is the barista in the execution T, TS and TSP. In the series there are different colors.
The TSP has the widest range of features and costs less than the Amazon TS (for whatever reason). At the time of our purchase, there was the TSP in black for 1,100, -. There is the Barista TSP also in stainless steel and silver.
What has the TSP:
- Stainless steel milk container
- Automatic Bean Select
- Automatic bean monitoring
- Cup illumination
- Stainless steel milk container
- Stainless Tassenabstellmöglichkeit on the machine
- 8 personalized user as My Coffee function
There are 21 recipes are available:
- Espresso: Espresso (Standard), Ristretto, Lungo, espresso doppio, Ristretto doppio.
- Café Crème Café Crème (Standard), café crème doppio, Americano, Americano specially shot, Long Black, Red Eye, Black Eye, Dead Eye.
- Cappuccino: Cappuccino (Standard), espresso macchiato, latte, café au lait, Flat White.
- Latte Macchiato: Latte Macchiato (standard), extra-shot latte, latte macchiato triple shot.
Visually us the machine like it very much. Compared to our previous Melitta CAFFEO CI, the difference is like night and day. (Costs of course a lot more Our CI was about 2 years ago about 850, -.). The selection keys are illuminated sensors fields. The display is now in color and looks really chic.
The water tank has 0,5l 1,8l and the milk container. The 0.5l milk rich Macchiato at our settings for 2 cappuccinos and 2 bar. What Melitta is particularly emphasized, which is adhered to the correct sequence of preparation. So is the bar of the espresso macchiato after the milk foam attached, the cappuccino is reversed. Whether this is different from other companies, I do not know. You can install the milk hose so that you can put next to the machine the milk container either left or right.
The outlet is up to 140mm height-adjustable, so that even good latte macchiato glasses fit underneath.
The machine has 2 chambers for the coffee beans so you can take 2 different coffees. The so-called "Bean Select" then selects the appropriate chamber. In the manual is: Automatic Bean Select causes for different coffees will set the best coffee beans are chosen. Espresso-based drinks relate the coffee beans from the left chamber 1 beans, coffee-cream-based drinks from the right beans chamber. 2
During grinding the coffee you can hear properly when the barista how the grinder idles. Changing the type of coffee is therefore immediately possible. When Melitta CAFFEO CI there is only one change lever between the chambers and it takes about 2 cups to really new type of coffee comes. The TSP has the active bean monitoring and displays on the display when the coffee in a chamber is all, one fills up and then sets the barista continued the process begun.
The machine shows the different cleaning programs (lime, milk, etc.) automatically. In addition, there is the Easy Cleaning that cleans all milk carrying parts with hot water and steam. For cleaning, the infuser just take out. Drip tray is pulled out to the front. The outlet nozzle is easy to remove and clean.
With the drinks you can make a lot of settings, such as coffee strength, temperature, amount of coffee, milk / milk foam etc. The selection keys can be changed in accordance with its own preferences and adjust or assign the My Coffee function.
This is fairly easy if you have familiarized yourself with the menu. In some points The manual could be a bit more detail.
Also I would have liked that the set values of the 21 recipes in the BDA had been listed. On the homepage this is underexposed Melitta coffee experience The barista at home and then made pleasure Viefalt very nice. There 18 recipes Barista TS are listed. The figure corresponds to the display of each drink in the coffee maker.
On the website you can also download the manual and see before before buying into it.
Yet perhaps the most important Finally, as taste because now the coffees. So let them taste very good. As we drink cappuccino and latte macchiato mainly, we are very pleased with the milk foam, the still slightly exceed the very good milk froth of Melitta CAFFEO CI. But I felt the temperature of Melitta CAFFEO CI a little higher.
We use 1.5% milk with a protein content of 3.4. This maybe as a small indication of good milk froth.
If you enjoyed or helped this review, I would be happy about an assessment very. Thank-You! :-)
