Review on Carob coffee maker Polaris PCM 1527E Adore Crema, champagne by Dorota Mentrak ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It's not a bad product, but I expect more.

In general, a very strange model. We took the same red one (the numbers on the models are solely responsible for the color of the case) of the type at a discount for 4 thousand instead of 8 thousand. In fact, a divorce for the price, it is sold everywhere at a discount, although it is not worth more than 4k. Why this whole lineup is so praised everywhere is not clear to me. Either this is done by paid PR people, or people who have nothing to compare with. As a verdict: For an unpretentious user, if you get used to it, it will do, but if I took it now, I would look for a more successful model. I don’t know if it’s possible to find one for such a price, but perhaps it’s better to add a couple of thousand on top and take another one. This one is completely neither this nor that, neither fish nor meat.

Pros
  • Rozhkovy coffee maker :) Suitable for lovers of coffee with milk (and even then with reservations)
Cons
  • - It makes noise, no, it rumbles like a tractor. And I myself am not quiet, but taking into account the rattling aluminum stand, it’s generally horror. From the vibration, the mugs roll both from below and from above. - Due to the weak heater, it can only dispense about 60 ml of coffee, it does not have time to heat up further. - The horn has an insert designed for only two mugs, then the correct espresso for one cannot be prepared. I am not a fan of pure espresso, but keep in mind that it will be very, very difficult to calculate 30 ml in 30 seconds for one. - it is impossible to program the volume or time, I turned away a little and you no longer have 30/60 ml, but half a circle of diluted warm liquid :) - Strange cappuccinatore. In fact, it's just a cylinder with a suction hole in the center. To at least somehow adapt a little, I had to spoil about 5 liters of milk. Milk foam is obtained with larger bubbles than it would be necessary for cappuccino, and is more suitable for latte macchiato. Oh yes, it also heats up for a long time and fizzes with water right with the force of the first two seconds. - the drip tray is also strange and no matter how hard you try, the water somehow gets under it)
