Which coffee machine is better? Fully automatic coffee machine vs. semi-automatic coffee machine

"If you are not in a coffee shop, you are on the way to a coffee shop." Nowadays, more and more Chinese people love coffee. Many friends like to have a cup of coffee in the morning or afternoon to savor its fragrance. And coffee machines have gradually entered people's daily lives due to the popularity of coffee. Some friends like fully automatic coffee machines, while others like semi-automatic coffee machines. So, what is the difference between these two coffee machines? In fact, the advantages and disadvantages of fully automatic coffee machines and semi-automatic coffee machines are very obvious. You can choose a suitable coffee machine according to your needs. Generally speaking, fully automatic coffee machines are used in convenience stores, buffet shops, hotels, 4S stores, homes, offices, etc.

1. Features of fully automatic coffee machines

Automatic coffee machine, with just one touch, can turn coffee beans into fragrant coffee, releasing the aroma of freshly brewed coffee; almost all functions can be customized to make the best tasting espresso, cappuccino, latte and macchiato. It has the following advantages:

1. More convenient operation: One-touch operation is simple, and it has an automatic cleaning function, which not only ensures the taste of the extracted coffee, but also extends the service life of the machine.

2. It can be used as both bean powder and soybean powder, with various grinding degrees to choose from to meet different needs.

3. Faster cup serving: Generally, the cup serving time of a fully automatic coffee machine is 30-40 seconds.

However, its shortcomings are also obvious. When extracting coffee, the amount of powder and the extraction pressure are relatively fixed, the taste is not as good as that of a semi-automatic coffee machine, and the price is slightly more expensive. Fully automatic coffee machines are more meticulous in maintenance than semi-automatic coffee machines, and the cost is relatively high.

2. Semi-automatic coffee machine

Semi-automatic coffee machines are relative to fully automatic coffee machines. "Automatic" means that after filling beans and pressing powder, you only need to turn a knob or press a button to get the coffee you like. "Semi" means that it cannot grind beans, but only coffee powder. It has the following advantages:

1. Better taste: Users can choose the amount of coffee powder and the pressing force of the coffee machine according to their preferences and needs to make different coffees, which will have a better taste.

2. Cheaper price: Semi-automatic coffee machines are cheaper than fully automatic coffee machines.

3. Easier maintenance: The semi-automatic coffee machine has a simple structure and is easier to maintain.

Of course, semi-automatic coffee machines also have their disadvantages. For example, they are inconvenient to clean and do not have an automatic cleaning function. Operators of semi-automatic coffee machines need to undergo rigorous training to make high-quality coffee. The coffee is slow to produce and cannot be ground into beans, so only coffee powder can be used. In the production process, an extra grinding step is required.
