For those who have just bought a fully automatic coffee machine for home, they may be eager to try it out after receiving it, but they may not know how to use it. So, today FrontStreet Coffee brings you instruction on how to use a home automatic coffee machine to help you better master its usage skills.
Classification of household coffee machines
Today's increasingly popular coffee all-in-one machines and capsule coffee machines can also be called fully automatic coffee machines. The common feature of both is "fully automatic" and easy to operate. The difference is that the raw materials used for fully automatic coffee machines in the traditional sense are coffee beans, while the raw materials used for all-in-one coffee machines and capsule coffee machines are semi-finished coffee products such as coffee powder and coffee capsules.
Tutorial on how to use a fully automatic coffee machine for home use
·Preparation stage
FrontStreet Coffee believes that before using a home fully automatic coffee machine, we need to do some preparations. First of all, make sure the coffee machine is in a clean state, and regularly clean the water tank, coffee grounds collector and other parts inside the coffee machine to ensure the taste and hygiene of the coffee. Secondly, prepare the required coffee beans or coffee powder and choose coffee beans with different flavors according to your personal taste.
For example, choose single origin coffee beans/Italian blend coffee beans. Single-origin coffee beans refer to coffee beans produced in a single production area/estate. The flavor is generally relatively clean and clear. It is recommended to buy Front Street Oiran SOE coffee beans. This is a Hambella coffee produced in Ethiopia. It uses exquisite sun-dried beans and has rich creamy strawberry, citrus, sweet orange, and caramel flavors. It is very refreshing to make American style.
Italian blended coffee beans refer to blending coffee beans from different production areas to maintain long-term flavor stability, and the flavor is generally mellow and solid. In addition, you need to prepare clean water to ensure that there is enough water in the water tank for coffee extraction and other functions.
When using a fully automatic coffee machine, Front Street recommends using blended coffee beans. We recommend Front Street Boutique 100% Arabica coffee beans, 75 yuan/454g: Colombian washed coffee beans + Brazilian semi-dried coffee beans, with flavors of nuts, dark chocolate, and caramel;
Friends who like floral and fruity aromas are recommended to buy Front Street Strawberry Candy Espresso, 43 yuan/100g; Costa Rican coffee beans + Panama coffee beans + Ethiopian coffee beans, with the aroma of roses, strawberry candy and glucose, the sour and sweet taste of the fruit is outstanding, and the taste is pleasant.
· Startup and settings
Before you prepare to use your home fully automatic coffee machine, please make sure the power is turned on and the voltage meets the machine requirements, then press the power button to let the coffee machine complete the self-test. Next, you can personalize settings through the operation panel according to the specific model and functions of the coffee machine. Usually, coffee machines have "small cup" and "large cup" options, as well as function buttons such as hot water/steam and coffee powder to meet different taste needs.
It is worth noting that some coffee machines may not have a dedicated button for coffee grounds because they do not have a grounds hopper and only support the use of coffee beans. In addition, the host page of some machines also provides setting options such as coffee powder volume, concentration, temperature, and double cups. The specific functions vary by machine model.
· Add beans and water
Open the bean compartment of the coffee machine and pour the appropriate amount of coffee beans into it. Be careful not to add too many or too few coffee beans (the capacity of the bean box of most fully automatic coffee machines will not exceed 400 grams, so pour in about 3/4 of the coffee beans). At the same time, open the water tank cover of the coffee machine and add clean water to the appropriate water level (fill in about 3/4 of the capacity of clean water).
· After completing the above preparations, you can start making coffee
Select the type of coffee you want to make, such as American, Italian, or Latte, and press the corresponding brew button. At this time, the coffee machine will automatically start working, and a series of operations such as grinding beans, brewing, and dispensing coffee will be completed automatically. During the brewing process, you can observe the status of the coffee machine at any time to ensure that everything is running normally.
When the coffee machine completes brewing, it will sound a beep or display corresponding prompt information.At this point, you can open the coffee outlet of the coffee machine and pour the coffee into the cup. After the coffee is poured into the cup, you can add milk, sugar or other seasonings according to your personal preference to create your favorite taste. Then, you can slowly enjoy this delicious cup of coffee.
· Cleaning and maintenance
After using the coffee machine, clean and maintain it in time. Front Street recommends that if it is not used for a long time, you can remove the remaining coffee beans and clean the water in the water tank, and clean the outside of the coffee machine and the coffee outlet to keep it clean and hygienic to ensure its normal operation and extend its service life.
FrontStreet Coffee believes that the method of using a fully automatic coffee machine at home is not the same. As long as you master the above steps and precautions, you can easily make delicious coffee.
