Description of Smeg Espresso Machine Black ECF01
.
Pros
- Very attractive (mine is blue). The black one possibly resembles the xenomorph's muzzle from Alien. superior plastic. Compact. Heavy signifies the absence of an interior. The identical cumbersome horn. Operating quietly (in comparison to the previous one). When working, it buzzes smoothly and does not ratchet. Even though there is an on-off switch, you cannot use it at all as she enters standby. In addition, it doesn't click or crackle like the other one did when I forgot to turn it off and it made bizarre noises that were loud and bothersome at night. The stand can be taken apart (!). And place a tall gl beneath the coffee as it is being poured; I can fit a cup up to 12 cm high (but you must somewhat slant it out because this is already the upper limit). pours a specific amount and automatically comes to a stop (single or double). You can't carry out the procedure. Water tank is quite useful. It is sufficient to simply open the lid from the top and pour water into the container to fill it with water. You can even remove the container from the wall and take it to the faucet if you really want to. Very quick; it takes less than a minute from turning on to receiving a cup of extremely hot coffee. On top, there is a cup warmer.
Cons
- High cost. You must repeatedly click the "double cup" button (after the first cup has been filled, press again) to fill a cup with 250 ml. 100 grams are poured into the serving. Too little. This is not very practical if you do not like ristrettos, which are little cups packed with extremely potent coffee. It turns out that the amount of coffee can be changed for every cup, which is why I'm writing this article. The machine will remember the quantity if you only pour one mug while pressing the on button. Additionally, you can change the water's hardness and heating temperature (three levels total). 1 liter of capacity underwater. There might have been more. It used to be 1.8 liters. To create a decent foam, you must become accustomed to the pannarello (steam horn). By default, bubbles that are too big are whipped, making them more like foam than foam. However, you can experiment with the steam flow and get more incisive. ate, and if you sharpen up, it turns out excellent. Panarello into a cup of milk at a 45-degree angle, and we adjust the steam supply with a handle, first giving out a little, then the whole amount.
