Review on Carob coffee maker De "Longhi ECP 31.21, black by Celina Niemyjska ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

No complaints, I recommend the product for purchase.

To begin, I made the rookie mistake of purchasing a coffee maker from China for around 2022 dollars. Both the price and the writing on the box that read "15 Bar" piqued my interest. Then I understood that the pressure is caused by steam, which is equivalent to around 3.5 bar, and that the inscription on the box is intentionally misleading. It is impossible to make coffee that displays all of its characteristics without the use of a pump as the process requires 9 bar of pressure. However, due to my lack of knowledge and experience, I gave a favourable assessment of the Chinese automobile. The coffee came out tasting great in the end. However, it is not the same thing at all. There is no other place besides the 9 bar. A geyser and a drip coffee maker will cost you between one and two thousand rubles, but you should be able to get by without them. To everyone his own, as opinions and preferences vary.

Pros
  • The caliber of the coffee. It ends up being a drink with a strong extraction and a pleasant scent.
Cons
  • An excessive number of manual processes are required to produce high-quality coffee. - Preheat the coffee machine as well as the mug by pouring water through the filter, which is currently devoid of coffee grounds. - Pouring the coffee in two separate portions to achieve the reported double volume of espresso, which in my case is between 60 and 80 milliliters. As soon as the green light turns on - indicating that the water has reached the desired temperature - you switch the machine on. Stop the car and wait for the light to turn back on once it has turned off. You restart the vehicle and drive away. Even though the instructions do not indicate that you need to wait for the green light again, producing coffee in this manner comes highly recommended by professional reviewers. - I'm topping up my typical cup of Americano coffee with hot water from the kettle after it has already been brought to a boil. It is not suggested to pour water from the coffee machine through spent coffee because this can cause the coffee to become bitter. Until I figure it out, I'll stick with the classic really powerful espresso with its 30–40 milliliters.
