Points to note when choosing an espresso machine.

The biggest difference between a fully automatic espresso machine and a semi-automatic espresso machine is the movement and difficulty required to make the coffee

Semi-automatic coffee machines, if operated by a skilled barista, will indeed produce better coffee than fully automatic machines, but if you consider the variability of manpower and the fact that there may not be enough space for them, such as small breakfast shops, beverage shops, lounges, reception centres, etc., then it is advisable to choose a fully automatic coffee machine.

Fully automatic espresso machines – usually compact in size and taking up little space. Just pour the right amount of water and beans, and with one touch of a finger, the fully automatic coffee machine grinds, fills and presses the coffee until it is ready, making it easy to rely on the machine to make a cup of coffee.

When choosing a fully automatic espresso machine or semi-automatic coffee machine, it is best to actually go to the site and see the machine in action, and actually make the coffee to see if the process meets your needs.

Before choosing a home coffee machine, we must first understand the difference between a fully automatic coffee machine and a semi-automatic coffee machine and our own needs for a home coffee machine.

Fully automatic coffee machines use electronic information technology to control the brewing of coffee following scientifically developed data and electronic procedures, and they are all designed with better protection systems. It is both convenient and efficient. All the user needs to do is press a button, and the coffee is ready. The convenience is superior to that of a traditional coffee machine.

The semi-automatic coffee machine is a traditional Italian coffee machine. This type of device follows a manual process of grinding, pressing, filling, brewing, and manually removing the residue. There are small single tap machines for domestic use and large commercial machines with two or three taps. The newer machines are also equipped with electronic water controls, which allow precise automatic control of the amount of water used to make the coffee. Semi-automatic coffee machines are more hands-on. It is a spiritual pleasure to drink a cup of coffee made by your own hands.

Coffee is a culture, and making coffee with your own hands is not as easy as you might think, so Leiz International recommends using a fully automatic coffee machine for the uninitiated.

Key points for selecting a fully automatic coffee machine.

Stable quality control: A good fully automatic coffee machine is one that can be adjusted to a satisfactory taste and then set the taste as a fixed parameter, i.e. the standard SOP for making coffee is recorded in the machine as a parameter, so that several cups can be made continuously without any problems. In daily operation, even when different people are operating the fully automatic coffee machine, the quality of coffee production remains consistent and excellent.

Easy to operate, easy to learn, quick to make: Depending on the environment in which coffee is sold/served, choose a coffee machine that is easy to operate and learn to maximise the benefits of the machine; for example, in breakfast shops, restaurants and other businesses, you can quickly make a delicious cup of ground coffee in a short time.

Taste adjustment control: When choosing a good professional coffee machine, it is recommended to have the ability to adjust the taste of the coffee. The ability to adjust the coarseness of the grind, the amount of ground coffee beans, the temperature at which the coffee is made, etc., all determine the flavour of the cup of coffee produced. The difference can be felt by actually tasting it.

Lightweight and space-saving: also depending on the environment in which the coffee machine is used, there is a need for flexibility in the use of space and scheduling. The fully automatic coffee machine combines the bean grinder and the coffee boiler in the same body, from grinding, brewing and extraction to coffee making, all in one step with the One Touch, which also significantly increases the use of space.

Ease of refilling: Is the water tank removable? Or is it fixed to the coffee machine. The advantage of choosing a removable water tank is that it is easy to refill, so you can lift the tank to a place where water can be added, and you won’t accidentally add water to the bean tank.

The most important part of a fully automatic coffee machine is the brewer. The brewer should be easy to remove and clean, and can be easily installed.

Semi-automatic coffee machine selection focus.

Semi-automatic espresso machine – Firstly, if it is a business model, it is usually larger. It needs to be operated by half the manpower, first using a bean grinder to grind the coffee powder, put it into the bowl of the handle, apply pressure evenly, position it right under the brewing head of the semi-automatic coffee machine with the upper handle locked in place and press the twist to extract the coffee liquid. A semi-automatic coffee machine is only responsible for the pressure extraction of the brew, so the person operating it needs to know more skills. The quality of the cup of coffee depends on the barista’s coffee technique, and manpower is the biggest key.

If you are a coffee shop, or if you have high requirements for Espresso extraction and milk froth, or if you require a refined coffee taste, or if the style of the shop is a high end consumer type that can sit for a long time, and you need to offer a variety of coffee drinks and have a dedicated barista to make the drinks, then you can choose a semi-automatic coffee machine.

There are many brands of semi-automatic coffee machines in the market that are attractive and have good brewing functions.
