There is no clear, universal answer to the question of which type of coffee machine is the best. All devices - automatic, drip and piston - have their advantages! It is worth knowing them all before buying.
Coffee machine - which one to choose if you care about many possibilities and easy operation?
If quick coffee preparation and ease of use are your priorities, choose an automatic coffee machine such as the ZCM8121 Maestro Barista. This is a device that allows you to prepare different types of coffee.
What will you find in the coffee machine?
- The device is equipped with a nozzle for frothing milk, which allows you to prepare a perfect cappuccino or latte macchiato.
- The ZCM8121 Maestro Barista has a built-in grinder, so you can grind the beans immediately before brewing, which guarantees an intense aroma of your coffee. The perfect aroma is also ensured by Aroma Control technology, a pre-brewing system.
- Safe grinder control is guaranteed by Safe and Grind technology - a special protection that protects fingers from damage.
- The coffee machine has an intuitive control panel with One Touch technology and personalization mode, which allow you to easily adjust the coffee preparation parameters to your individual preferences.
- Thanks to the ZCM8121 Maestro Barista, you can brew two coffees at the same time - you can quickly prepare drinks and serve them hot to all your guests.
In addition, the ZCM8121 Maestro Barista is easy to clean and maintain, which ensures its long life. Friendly Clean Care technology is a solution that allows you to very easily remove the brewing block whenever it needs cleaning. Then all you have to do is wash it under running water.
Are you wondering how to operate an automatic coffee machine? It's very simple! Just select the type of drink. The device will grind the beans you have previously poured into the container, then brew the coffee and pour it into the cup you have placed. In the meantime, you can do other things, such as preparing a quick sweet snack.
It would seem that the disadvantage of an automatic coffee machine is its price, which is usually higher than in the case of piston or drip devices. However, it is worth remembering that a high-quality coffee machine is an investment for years, thanks to which you will be able to prepare coffee every day, which you would spend much more on in a restaurant!
Coffee machines - which ones to choose if you intend to brew coffee for several people at once?
A drip coffee machine, such as the ZCM1200, is an excellent choice for people who are looking for an easy-to-use and practical device. Preparing good coffee at home with it does not require any specialist knowledge - all you need to do is pour the right amount of ground beans into the filter, fill the water tank and press the button.
The most important advantages of this type of coffee machine include their capacity, which allows you to prepare a larger amount of aromatic brew - up to 12 cups at once. This makes the ZCM1200 model ideal for people who like to enjoy a small black coffee in a larger group. In addition, drip coffee machines are relatively cheap, which makes them an excellent choice for coffee lovers who are looking for a device at an affordable price. Another big advantage of the ZCM1200 is the automatic switch-off function, thanks to which the device saves energy. A practical solution is also the possibility of maintaining heat, thanks to which each household member has the chance to drink hot coffee in the morning - even if they get up at different times.
Among the disadvantages of drip coffee machines, we can mention the fact that they do not allow you to prepare other types of coffee - apart from the traditional filter. This is therefore a good solution for people who value above all a classic little black coffee.
Advantages of a piston coffee maker. Which one to choose to gain high quality and full independence in preparing coffee?
A piston coffee maker is a device that allows you to prepare coffee in an Italian style. In this category, it is worth paying attention to two devices: ZCM6255 Milano and ZCM7295 Palermo - not without reason named after cities in sunny Italy, which is famous for good coffee. These machines are equipped with a classic piston. It allows you to prepare espresso yourself, which gives you greater control over its taste and aroma. Piston coffee makers also have a milk frothing function, so you can use them to prepare cappuccino or flat white. One of the most important advantages of these machines is therefore their versatility and the ability to fully adjust the operating mode to your preferences. The piston espresso machine is the perfect solution for coffee lovers who appreciate traditional methods of preparing this drink.
The piston espresso machine ZCM6255 Milano is the most compact device in our offer. This small device will fit even on the smallest kitchen counter. It is also very functional - the device has been equipped with, among others, a touch, backlit control panel and a cup warming function. What's more, it can prepare two coffees at the same time with a single button.
The ZCM7295 Palermo model needs slightly more space in the kitchen, but it has more power (1350 watts compared to 1050 watts) and an extremely stylish retro design. Like the Milano coffee maker, it can prepare two drinks at the same time, and its additional advantage is the ability to manually select the capacity of black coffee - up to 150 ml.
Both models, Milano and Palermo, have an auto-off function, i.e. automatic shutdown after a specified period of inactivity. Thanks to this, you can be sure that you are using only as much electricity as necessary.
It is worth remembering that preparing coffee in a piston coffee maker requires a little more time and skill than in the case of automatic or drip devices. Beginner users should therefore be aware that the first few cups may not taste perfect. However, with each subsequent coffee you brew yourself, you will certainly gain not only skill, but also great satisfaction!
