Description of Smeg ECF01RDUS Espresso Coffee Machine
User friendly control panel with 3 buttons to adjust preferred settings and select single/double espresso or the activation of steam function. De-calc system alarm will alert you when a de-calc is required. Single Thermoblock system to speed up the switching-on and heating of the water. Up to 15 bar professional pressure, for the best coffee experience. Mix steam, air and milk in a small beaker to prepare a thick and rich foam for your Cappuccino. The wand can be adjusted in different positions. Removable steel cup tray for easy cleaning and to accommodate taller glasses.
Pros
- incredibly lovely (the color of mine is blue). The black one most likely resembles the faceplate of a xenomorph from the Alien franchise. A plastic of good quality. Compact. If the animal is heavy, this indicates that there is no bull present inside. The identical ponderous and massive horn. Comparatively silent when in use (in contrast to the previous model). When functioning, it makes a pleasant buzzing sound and does not shake. In spite of the fact that there is an on-off switch, she puts herself into standby mode; you are unable to use the switch in any way. And at the same time, it does not click or crackle (this is something that happened with the last one because I forgot to turn it off, and it creates bizarre noises, which are noticeable and bothersome at night). It is possible to take the stand with you (!) And place a tall glass under the coffee as it is poured - I can fit a cup that is up to 12 centimeters high (although you will need to pull it out at an angle because, after all, this is already the maximum height). Pours a certain amount and then stops on its own (either single or double). You are unable to proceed with the process. Very handy water tank. It is sufficient to remove the lid from the top of the container, then open the lid from the bottom in order to pour water from the jug into the container. And if you are determined to do so, you can remove the container entirely and bring it with you to the sink to fill it. Extremely quick; it takes less than a minute from the time you turn it on to the time you get a cup of coffee that is piping hot. On top is a cup warmer for your convenience.
Cons
- A steep price. To fill a cup to a capacity of 250 milliliters, you will need to push the "double cup" on button multiple times (after the first pour, hit the button again). The weight of the portion is one hundred grams. This is not enough. This is not a very convenient option for those individuals who do not enjoy drinking ristrettos, which are extremely concentrated cups of coffee served in little cups. It has come to my attention that the quantity of coffee that is added to each on - for any cup - may be altered, and I am currently drafting an article about it. Simply pour one mug while holding down the on button, and the machine will remember the required amount. You also have control over the water's hardness and the degree at which it is heated (there are three levels to choose from). One liter is the capacity when submerged. It had the potential to be even more. The previous one had a capacity of 1.8 liters. In order to generate a decent foam, you are going to need to get familiar to using the pannarello, which is a steam horn. By default, bubbles that are excessively large are whipped, making the consistency more similar to foam than foam. However, you may exercise some control over the flow of steam and hone your skills. ate, and if you sharpen up, it turns out ideal - insert the panarello at an angle of 45 degrees into a cup of milk and adjust the steam supply with a handle - at first we give out a little, then to the full.
