There are three types of coffee machines: grain, capsule and combined. Depending on the internal equipment of the equipment and its mechanisms, the types of drinks that the device can prepare vary.

Construction

The grain coffee machine for the home has a standard mechanism:

- a container with water;

- pallet;

- collection capacity of used powder;

- coffee dispensing funnel.

If you are going to use regular grains, it is important to ensure that there is a coffee grinding unit in the design, otherwise you will have to do this procedure manually.

The combined machine has an additional horn into which the powder is tamped (using a special wooden spoon). It is important to do this carefully and in the right proportions, as this directly affects the quality of the drink. There can also be a variety of filters in the design, which increase the functionality of the device as a whole. For example, an additional tank allows you to purify water separately, and a hopper allows you to combine different types of grains.

The capsule room additionally has a control unit, which is responsible for the automatic preparation of the drink. Instead of a container for collecting powder in such a device, there is a pump and a system for brewing and ejecting coffee in capsules.

Coffee Machine Accessories

You can improve the quality of the product with additional elements:

- knockbox (knocks out the used powder from the portafilter);

- pitcher (a small ladle for foaming milk);

- arrow thermometer (for milk temperature control);

- rubber gasket (for shaking out powder; less damage to the mechanism);

- scales for weighing portioned powder.

Professionals can buy a tempera, a device that forms the right coffee tablet for making espresso. With its help, the quality of the resulting drink is significantly improved. It is usually made of metal or wood.

It is customary to use different cups and saucers for each coffee, so if you want to prepare this drink according to all the rules, you should purchase a set of dishes that can withstand high temperatures and pressure.

In order for the coffee machine to work well stably, it is necessary to monitor it. Cleaning it with improvised means is not enough, it is worth purchasing special detergents. Regular rice is suitable for removing congealed coffee oil, which also removes scale. transescort.org/trans/spain/madrid/
