Description of Melitta Caffeo Solo & Perfect Milk coffee machine, black
The Caffeo Solo and Perfect milk coffee machine combines the advantages of a compact design with the ability to prepare delicious milk foam. No matter if you want a rich coffee with a velvety milk foam or a fragrant latte macchiato with a light airy milk foam - Caffeo Solo and Perfect Milk will prepare any drink for you in the blink of an eye.
Pros
- Stylish, small, and most importantly, it brews coffee that is very great! My impression is that this coffee has a richer flavor than Saeko's (who drank coffee both at home and at work), and the foam is denser.
Cons
- The fact that the cup holder is made of steel that is too soft to be durable is a minor inconvenience. The bottoms immediately scraped it, making it appear as though it had been rubbed with sandpaper.
Pros
- Perhaps this is the most compact coffee machine for small kitchens - it is simply ideal, because due to its rectangular design it will fit anywhere. Included is a water filter (which must be changed periodically, but you can use the coffee machine without it). A very convenient cleaning system - all waste and water drain in one tray, which is located along the entire length of the machine (therefore, even a small amount of coffee that wakes up falls on the tray, and not on the inside of the machine). The set included 2 cleaning fluids (for the machine and for the cappuccinatore). When cleaning before making coffee, almost all the water drain is internal, very little water comes out through the outer nozzle (in the previous DeLonghi coffee machine, this was very annoying, because sometimes it was possible to put a cup in a hurry and instead of coffee get water drained after cleaning). Convenient cappuccinatore, you can separately - quickly heat milk through it, quick-detachable and quick-washing. Auto power off and economy mode - when the device "falls asleep" without disconnecting from the network (you can set the time off). Many different settings (coffee grinding, strength, water hardness - the minimum is automatically set when the filter is installed). You can make 2 cups of coffee at once. Heated mugs on the lid of the machine - for true gourmets who do not pour coffee into cold cups.
Cons
- In the silver one, upon purchase, a small non-paint was found on the front panel of the pallet, dark spots of the case were visible under the silver paint, but the seller made a good discount and put up with it, they are almost invisible. The main drawback, in comparison with expensive coffee machines, when making coffee, the water from the coffee is not squeezed out to the end (not all the caffeine comes out). In the previous coffee machine, coffee tablets got into the collection completely dry and did not lose their shape even when they were thrown away, but here they are wet and fall apart, so the coffee may not be so strong (but for an apparatus of this price, I think this is quite normal, especially since we we still don’t drink strong coffee, we put the fortress on one grain - it still turns out very tasty, no worse than expensive devices). For the cappuccino maker, the water is heated separately, so after making coffee, you need to wait a bit by pressing the cappuccino maker button until the indicator stops flashing (to prepare a cappuccino in several cups - first pour coffee into everything, then prepare foam into everything - it turns out faster).
Pros
- cool design Simple control It does not require special care You can adjust the strength of the coffee Great cappuccino foam!
Cons
- It's hard to find branded cleansing tablets, but I can easily replace them with analogues And a slightly long cleaning program (but it is rare, so sometimes you can be patient) Imprints remain on the metal part (drip cover and coffee spout)
Pros
- Preparing coffee. At the time of purchase, the price of the device is lower than that of many analogues. The water compartment is relatively larger than many, but since. the machine guzzles water like an elephant, then this is a dubious dignity. (There is nothing in it that other cars do not have)
Cons
- The noise is stronger than Philips (it is really very noisy). She uses too much coffee and therefore the grinding noise lasts longer. You will spend more on coffee than with another machine (the portion of coffee will be larger, but not by that much). It pours water for nothing when turning it on and off (even if it was not used). Unused coffee (freshly ground dry coffee or ready-made drink does not matter), she will simply throw it into the tray. She throws dry coffee in the same place as the cake after cooking, and ready-made unused coffee in the liquid waste tray. This is not a bug, but a feature of the operation of this machine. The coffee compartment is not sealed with a valve, but a simple ordinary lid. (in our time, this is already not enough, already even coffee bags come with a valve) The cappuccinatore works unpredictably, despite the fact that it is a semi-automatic device and it would seem very difficult to spoil it. Management there is done through one place, and sometimes instead of milk foam, they will pour you some water . well, simply because the mechanism does not guarantee foam alone in principle, and today you won water instead of milk "in the lottery".
Pros
- Cool design, compact size for this level of coffee machine, easy to clean the brew unit and tray. The presence of a cappuccinatore makes it possible to prepare cappuccino or hot milk, even cocoa, while you only need to lower the tube into a bag of milk, and it is washed by passing water through the tube in a different mode. I tried different grains and coffee brews bright, and compared with the hario funnel the same grain, but the machine can brew stronger. The pouring block moves up and down for the desired cup height. The display is simple but looks modern and clear. The book says that after n (I don’t remember exactly how many, like 2-3 dozen) brewing coffee, you can reduce the grinding to the level of the flagship machines of this company, but I haven’t reached that point yet, and there are only 5 of them. I am satisfied with the purchase, I recommend.
Cons
- It's not a minus for me, but maybe it's important for someone: - a small container for water, but I think it helps to always have fresh water - a small grain container, but I don't fill much to keep the grain fresh (although the tray looks airtight) and change varieties often - you need a replaceable branded filter from water hardness, it is not included in the kit. I decided not to put it in everything, I will decalcify and fill in water from the filter or purchased. In the kit there is a strip for determining the stiffness and the machine needs to be adjusted to the result so that it tells you when the procedure needs to be carried out
Pros
- The taste of coffee, grinding adjustment, beautiful, narrow, reliable, easy to clean
Cons
- Noisy, small water and waste compartments, copuchinator
Pros
- Decent design, delicious coffee, practical
Cons
- It is difficult to find a place in a small kitchen for a normal coffee machine.
Pros
- Narrow, compact.
Cons
- The taste of coffee, for my taste, is somehow not very . Small water tank. It is often necessary to carry out cleaning, and cleaning of different nodes, liquid and tablets. (tablets can not be cleaned, just press the button, as if they were there) When preparing cappuccino, the cappuccino maker sometimes splashes a lot, the whole kitchen is in drops of milk. Marked glossy surface.
Pros
- Compact (wide) Makes delicious coffee Wide adjustment of grinding (5), strength (3) and volume (twist) Top for your money There is a cappuccinatore and it works
Cons
- The volume of the water tank (enough for 2-3 cups)
Pros
- Easy to use. Simple accessible interface. Brews good quality coffee.
Cons
- Manual cappuccinatore. Small water tank, small bean container
Pros
- Able to cook 2 mugs at once. Easy to use daily, communicates clearly what is needed: beans, water, drain tray cleaning. The coffee lives up to expectations.
Cons
- A minimalistic set of control elements (there are 4 buttons on the front panel, including on / off, a display of about 4 pictograms), as a result of which little-used messages are encoded by mysterious combinations of flashing coffee beans, etc. There is no parallel. Unfortunately, while the coffee is being brewed, the heating element of the cappuccinatore cannot be heated. Only sequentially. Seems to eat a little more grain than other machines (no higher class). But I can't be completely sure.
Pros
- compact, excellent milk foam, good tasty coffee, although as for me it is not strong enough even at maximum speed.
Cons
- Splashes when cooking both coffee and milk, although the former is treated by lowering the spout, and the latter ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ by raising the mug when preparing milk. Hell's only service center in St. Petersburg! Breakdown on the 3rd day of operation (maximum 5 cups of coffee with milk managed to be made)
Pros
- Coffee quality. Manufacturing quality. Small dimensions. Ease of Management.
Cons
- Problems with cooking on fine grinding.
