Coffee machine

I am so happy that a coffee machine has appeared in our house.
Coffee without any problems, just press one button!
Delicious and not as harmful as instant.

I looked for a Saeco XSmall coffee machine. Ladnenka, this is very inexpensive, somewhere around 11,000-12,000 rubles. It seems that the reviews on Yandex are not bad, and it is easy to clean.
Perhaps there are baby owners here who can talk about their impressions of using XSmall. Maybe there are some "pitfalls"?

I bought one at Vasko. While satisfied. They took with them to the dacha. Fortunately, it is small. We drink coffee. Two fortress modes. Have not yet mastered Panarello. We haven't tried anything with milk froth yet. Courting is easy. Pour water from the filter. I like the taste of coffee. Friends and neighbors come for coffee, everyone likes it. Until they found the pitfalls. But we are also operating recently ...

Many thanks to me XSmall and won over with its simplicity. The seller showed me everything right in front of me, told me, it's a pity that I was too shy to try the coffee. At first, the low price confused me a bit, but now I understand that the price in this case is not an indicator.
And on the "larger" mode of the fortress, the so-called. "Longo coffee", is the drink normal or weak?

In my opinion, it is very strong. And nothing to my husband.

Girls, remind me pzhl, there is no time to read everything, which carob Saeka did you praise? At the dacha, Delongy shouted.

Mistletoe, what is the price range for your future coffee maker?
If not too expensive, then I read very good reviews about this one: Saeco Via Veneto De Luxe.

There are owners!

He has been living in my office since the beginning of the year.
Mode of operation: 2 (small) cups a day, rarely 10-20 cups in 15-30 minutes.

Underwater STONES:
- a small volume of the water tank (for a large number of portions, considering HOW she likes to wash herself and when compared with other Saeco),
- adjustment of the grinding value only with a special key,
- takes up more space than expensive models,
- when grinding coffee, it makes 10-15% more noise than other models,
- coffee strength is regulated only by the volume of the cup,
- in the basic configuration practically does not whip milk.

All of these "stones" are not critical for me. The main thing is the taste of the drink! And with this she is in complete order.
She's worth her money!

Margit , yeah, it fits !!! You don't know. now everyone has such a cappuccino maker ???

Mistletoe, I think that the cappuccinator for all Saeks is similar to this one, according to reviews, the milk whips up with a bang. And I never stopped wanting carob. My Delongy coffee brews very tasty and I adapted to whipping milk perfectly, bought pitchers of different sizes, the most optimal was Motta for 500 ml. But I want a carob, and not some kind, but Nuova Simonelli Musica! Oh, and the burden of a deviceaholic is heavy!

Margit, and what stops, the price of it.

And for this price there is no coffee grinder and coffee strength adjustment ...

Margit, and what stops, the price of it.

The price is high, yes ... but the choice is between Rancilio Silvia, Bezzera BZ 07S, Domobar Junior and Nuova Simonelli Muzika.
These cars can be bought much cheaper, if you wish.

And for this price there is no coffee grinder and coffee strength adjustment ...

I also decided on a coffee grinder, it was Mazzer Mini who chose between him and Nuova Simonelli MGF, decided to stay on the first.
Strength adjustment is practically not needed, the main product is coffee, and everyone chooses its amount and amount of water according to his taste, which ultimately affects the strength.

Margit, you got this after regularly visiting the ixbt forum. When I was choosing a coffee machine, I was still not tempted by these machines, although there was also such an idea, the machine took up.

Tanya, your immunity is much stronger than mine!
Although I wanted a carob from the very beginning, I bought a machine gun. The coffee is delicious, everyone likes it, even my daughter, and she understands coffee. Often he says, Mom, your coffee is much better than in "Shokoladnitsa". Shokoladnitsa is considered the best cafe - bar in our city. But you want not passive, but active participation in coffee making.

Margit,

The most active coffee-making is in the turkey. And the result is the most delicious

the cappuccinator for all Saeks is similar to this, according to reviews, the milk whips with a bang.

OK! Thank you!

Margit,
The most active coffee-making is in the turkey. And the result is the most delicious

Once I decided to brew coffee as before, in a Turk, I brewed it according to all the rules, as expected, but I couldn't drink it - I poured it out. The taste is so much inferior to the taste of coffee brewed in a coffee machine that the desire to brew one more time completely disappeared. Children, although they brew in a Turk, come to us and enjoy delicious coffee from a coffee machine. They can't wait for me to buy a carob and give Delongey the machine gun. A friend is a coffee lover with experience, and her husband is also a coffee lover, they have been brewing coffee in a Turk for many years. And she also believes that Turkish coffee is inferior to machine coffee. When visiting, he never refuses a cup of cappuccino or latte macchiato. By the way, try the baileys latte macchiato, everyone I have treated says that it is insanely delicious, although I have not tried it myself. I love treating coffee more than drinking.

Margit ,

I gave my Saeko carob to Antonovka, I just didn't need it - all my whims are satisfied by the Mukka Express geyser coffee maker, a nice little copper turbo for 2 tiny cups and an Aerochchino electric cappuccinator + with the possibility of making hot and cold foam and milk for latte. And at work - capsule Nespresso and the same Aerochchino.

I must admit that the most delicious coffee is still in the Turk, although in the geyser (but not in any, but in Mukka, it gives a froth of "cream" when you brew an espresso) as delicious as it was in a carob, but the hassle is much less and it takes up much less space too.
And in Turk, I brew at least 3 varieties of coffee (for example, a red pack of Lavazza, a Viennese from the Sacher hotel and a Dominican one - they were brought to order from there). I heat the Turku dry over a fire, ignite it, remove it from the heat and heat dry coffee in it, then pour it with water and over low heat 3 times bring it to the foam head, each time adding a little water and removing some of the foam into cups.

If you prepare this way, if the coffee is of the finest grinding and of high quality, then the result is the most delicious for me.

I only add a spoonful of Baileys to a large amount of chocolate mass for sweets, or in baked goods, and since it is sweet, I can't because of diabetes. If you wish, you can get out with a mixture of whiskey and low-fat low-lactose milk and natural vanilla, but the game is not worth it

Girls, give good advice. I want to give my husband a coffee machine for DR. While looking at: Saeco Talea Giro Plus v2 and Saeco Talea Ring Plus Black. The second one is a little more on the boiler, but 1.4 would suit us ...

I had ..... (crying smiley) Saeco Talea Giro Plus v2, and so ooooo happy with it !!!!!!!

Why was it ??

repaired my Delongee6600 ... but I don't need two coffee machines: mda: it's just that Delongey costs ........ in general it's expensive and can't be sold ... I had to part with this one ... although it's a pity !!! who bought, very happy !!!

Any milk ceased to be whipped normally, even with a French press! Is it all powdery? (Valio and Parmalat do not sell here!). How are you?

my misadventures with Talea Giro .... I puff on the shops for a week .... no ... ... and comments give - why are you going to buy a discontinued typewriter - it is of poor quality, it squeaks, something does not close in it ... take Talea Cynthia White !!! She's better ... And outwardly she doesn’t look good to me .... I don’t have anything high-tech in my kitchen .... I looked at Cynthia Focus black ... she’s even black, but outwardly, too, nothing .... what to do? I ask for advice ..... can watch the Odea series?

And on the contrary, I bought Cynthia Black, because it takes up less space and outwardly I liked it more.

Tanya, I have no problem with the place ... 21m .... but I don't have a stainless steel style ... and there are a lot of roundness in the kitchen ... that's why I wanted to take it as a gift to my husband, something that would fit into the overall setting ....

Tinka_tinka, well, if there is a lot of space then yes.

Who has Gaggia Brera, please tell me what should be CORRECT for dryness-density of the cake? My car is so hard to pick up !!!! Very wet (in my opinion) Some tablets even fall apart in the container, so they are so wet. I think that there is not much difference with other machines. Maybe where this question was discussed, give me a link. Thank you in advance!

My cake is not wet, the tablets fall out even and slightly damp, do not disintegrate, and lie intact until the machine says it's time to throw it away

My cake is not wet, the tablets fall out even and slightly damp, do not disintegrate, and lie intact until the machine says it's time to throw it away

For any grind?

My cake is not wet, the tablets fall out even and slightly damp, do not disintegrate, and lie intact until the machine says it's time to throw it away

And I have the same, even tablets, do not crumble, except that they are different in thickness. The husband loves strong coffee and adjusts the settings to his taste. I do not change the grind, as it was adjusted in the first days after purchase, so they did not touch it again.

I (Delonge) have different tablets - strong and dry, as well as wet and falling apart. I think this is because. that we drink completely different coffee. The husband is "very strong", and I am "normal" ..
Well, I noticed that if, let's say, I don't drink coffee, but only one husband drinks, 9 I rarely drink, hunt) - all the tablets are dense, dry, the same.

Can anyone remember where in this thread someone else had the same problem and how they dealt with it? Can't find it, maybe it's already in the archive? I will be grateful!!!

In different cars, in different ways !!! In Delongee, I was always dry, but in Saeko they were wet !!! In my opinion it depends on the number of boilers

In my Saek the tablets are slightly moist, strong and do not crumble.

Well, ABOUT - A LITTLE wet, I only dream! (joke) I almost have porridge! Only in pill form.

dear girls and boys !! I need your advice, help ... we decided to buy a coffee machine (full automatic), well, we can't decide which one ... my head is already spinning ... it's only me and the guests who drink coffee in the family ... I don't drink espresso, the guests drink .. I only have all kinds of milk ... I have 3 types in mind, but I don't know which one to stop ..... 1.Saeco Xelsis 2.WMF 800 3.Miele CM5200 I will be extremely grateful to everyone for reviews, advice, tips .. . urgently needed (as long as the husband agrees)

Despite my modest experience in choosing coffee machines, I would venture to recommend taking only Saeco Xelsis.
Don't even look at the others on the list.

Agree about Saeko !!!!!!!

annyshka78, I use Saeco Syntia myself and am very happy, I can't say anything about others, there are no such in Russia.

thank you all very much!

🔗 I also put my eye on this ... now the question arose between them 2 saeko and yura ...

[I don't drink espresso]

...I don't drink espresso- guests are drinking ..... I only have all kinds of milk... I have 3 types in mind, but I don't know which one to stop ..... 1.Saeco Xelsis 2.WMF 800 3.Miele CM5200 I will be insanely grateful to everyone for feedback, advice, tips ... urgently needed (as long as my husband agrees )

Are you sure you need a cool coffee machine with your taste? Maybe buy something easier, and with the saved money please yourself, your beloved, with something else?

Jura is good, I like it too. But for me personally, it has three minuses, perhaps for you they are insignificant. The first is the price of the machine itself, the second is unreasonably expensive consumables, and the third is that there is no Jura service center in our city. Ask how things are going with service centers in your city.
If you haven't decided yet, besides Saeco Helsis, I advise you to take a closer look at the Accademia Gaggia and DeLonghi Primadonna EAM / ESAM 6600 - 6620 coffee machines.

And it seems to me that if there is an opportunity to buy a good coffee machine, then it should be bought. : flowers: About this here more than once wrote and advised. Half a year ago, I became the owner of Delonghi ECAM 23.450, thanks to our forum. I'm happy with the purchase! As far as I remember, my husband did not drink coffee at all and did not even respect it, before buying this machine. And now every morning on the machine turns on the coffee machine and enjoys the taste of fresh coffee. Well, when guests come, we only have time to press the buttons. Here.

tatjanka Agree!
Delonghi ECAM 23.450 is an excellent coffee machine! By the way, and at a price it is more loyal than those listed above.

thanks for the advice ... I'll take a closer look at delongues ... I wanted a car (coffee) for many years ... waited for the opportunity to buy it and decided, if you take it, then take an expensive (not super expensive) ... and while my husband is warm and soon the new year, then we must use the moment

You know, by the nature of my job (at one time I worked in a home appliance store for a very large company), I tried coffee from a mass of coffee machines. And, for my taste, the coffee from Saeco was not the best, rather the opposite. DeLongi used it at one time, somewhere in 2005 - 2006, it seemed not very convenient to use. Now, for more than 5 years Siemens has been at home - happy as an elephant! And the coffee is excellent, and convenient, and there is a cappuccinator, although I don't use it. Recently I advised a friend to buy a similar model from Bosch from the TCA 680 * series. My friend is also delighted. So here's some more information for thought
