Carob coffee makers

At first, I also thought about buying a carob coffee maker, but still I bought a fully automatic Boshevsky coffee machine. I'm glad that I took the car, you don't really need to take care of it, and you can make coffee without my help at all, you just need to press the button.

and did the right thing! An espresso machine is such a gimp!

I can't get coffee. Wash some without a hint of foam. WHAT should be the correct coffee grind? Small, but not in the dust does not tell me anything.

Girls, tell me please, does the Vitek VT-1514 coffee maker only work in automatic mode? In many models of coffee makers there is a separate spout (tap), which releases hot steam, and you yourself whip the milk until frothy, is this possible in Vitek VT-1514? My daughter wants to indulge herself with whipping and mixing, and we like the automatic mode - less hassle, especially when there is no time to stand over the coffee maker, whether this model combines both functions or not.

Yesterday I read the instructions for the coffee maker. It turns out that it also needs to be cleaned, decalcified - this is how the procedure seems to be called.
Share what you do, buy specials. facilities? Or, like a kettle, with vinegar? My old coffee maker is buggy, maybe this procedure will help revive it?

is it not written in the instructions? 2 tsp citric acid in 500 ml of water

is it not written in the instructions? 2 tsp citric acid in 500 ml of water

I don't have any instructions for my coffee maker at all, I got it like that, used. Yesterday I read the instructions for a similar coffee maker, from another company, it says that only specials. a means of cleaning, others no, no.

Sister!!! How my heart sensed that you have craps We have something to talk about!

[Vitek 1513,]

Girls, I am writing late, thanks to everyone who advised Vitek 1513,great machine, delicious coffee is made instantly. We are glad

[Sindi]

Sindi, I have repeatedly advised. I am very happy with this coffee maker. Let it please. I have had it for a year, the flight is normal.

I do not know what topic to write.
For lovers of foam. Awesome foam comes from this milk. I frothed all the milk from all the producers that we sell. And no one even stood close.
Recommend:

I gave up my espresso machine. Well her! I make coffee in a Turk.
I do not remember who wrote and whether in this thread that milk can be whipped with a French press. This is amazing! THANK YOU !!!

Regarding milk - I watched the video for Vitek 1514, they advise fatter milk, but the protein should be more than 3, I ran into the kitchen to look at the milk - in quiet shock - there is nothing more than 2.8 ...
Actually, I don't have a coffee maker, I brew it in a French press, and if there is a desire for a cappuccino, I beat it with a whisk with a motor (the mixer for sauces is called). I already had this - I did everything according to the instructions - I warmed up the milk, beat it with a mixer into a thick foam, just turned away from the press to pour coffee - and there is no foam

I whip milk from the refrigerator in a French press - the foam is excellent, it does not liquefy. Why warm it up? Hot coffee - cold milk - complete harmony

Novichok_ya, I saw this video - you take 50 ml of milk, heat it up for 30 seconds in a micron, and then quickly beat it with this broom. Further on in the video, you slip a cup of whipped milk into a coffee maker (I mean a carob or something else that can't make cappuccino).

that is, you first whip milk, and then add coffee, not vice versa?

Hot milk (60 * C) whips well in a French press and lasts a long time.Tightly 60 * C, with such a T milk proteins are well bound, with a higher temperature, they disintegrate. This is clearly seen in the example of slightly stale milk, it is only necessary to bring to a boil, part of the milk is curdled - the proteins fall out into separate fractions.

that is, you first whip milk, and then add coffee, not vice versa?

Why not, with this method, coffee is obtained - Latte, if on the contrary - Cappuccino.

Why not, this method produces coffee - Latte,

and if there is a desire for cappuccino

By the way, I have not done a latte yet, I have to try it, suddenly I like more cappuccino.

I have no idea what I get there, but the foam ... in general, in the end we drink coffee, and then a spoonful of foam

Who has a Vitek VT-1504 BW Coffee Maker. I put my eyes on her, so she comes to my kitchen. But there is also a dense capsule dolce. Does it make sense to buy Vitka too?
Dimensions are of particular interest. I looked at the ozone dimensions, glued a piece of cardboard, it seemed not too big. She has a cavity inside, how does she wash from splashes?

People ... And what is the difference between 1514 and 1517? In the sense it is not clear - why the 17th is cheaper than the 14th? I am ripening here on the sly ... maybe even ripening ...

Report. I bought Vitek VT-1504 BW and liked it very much. Although all the disadvantages described in the scanty reviews from the Internet do exist. The low headroom and sides limit the size of the cups for use. Do not put a tall glass.

A 180 ml mug fit when I removed the pallet. One low cup (120 ml) or two small ones for espresso (60 ml) fits with the tray. Picked up from the pasabahce assortment.
Due to the sidewalls, two larger cups cannot be placed.

Whipping milk: DAAAAAaaaa))) There is a possibility of adjusting the steam pressure and tube height. Savushkin's milk product.
Cream of coffee (crema): DADADA !!! Gorgeous foam, half a centimeter.

Yesterday I just tested it, today I tried to make latte art, it turned out "leaf" and "heart".

In general, I am very satisfied.

Empirically, I found out that I like "double" coffee more, but on the "single" program. Not very economical in terms of powder consumption, but I like the taste better.

Maybe create a Temko for this coffee maker?

[Elena]

Elena, create! I have it in my bookmarks, I wanted to buy this model from the next salary, so I will gladly read the discussion about the possible pros and cons to know what to expect.

[Coffeeberry]

Coffeeberry,
I wrote there on ozone - three observations and my impressions within a month. Until now, everyone is happy!
But ozone blew up the price. It would be better if she was silent or wrote here at once, and not there. I wanted to buy it for my mother, and now either take a substandard in a crumpled box, or wait for receipt, and there it is even more expensive, I suppose.

We will create a theme in the late afternoon. We need to make photos during the cooking process.

[Coffeeberry]

Coffeeberry,
PS Still there the man unsubscribed how he cleaned it. Fortunately, we have very soft water in the north, and even filtering it, so I don't think we will have to.

From myself I will add that it will not be possible to clean with peroxide, as I did with dolce thickly, to clean only with citric acid. The machine does not have a cold start mode without heating the water.

[Elena]

Elena, but nothing, I was not going to take on ozone, because in St. Petersburg they are offline 4 thousand rubles. cost pennies, there is a choice where to buy.
I am more worried about the cleaning, because there is no way to get there. Does the cappuccinator need to be disassembled and rinsed or is it rinsed normally with steam and so on? You need to buy at least a simple jug filter, otherwise I have always cooked in the Turk and it is not so critical what exactly to remove the scale.

[Coffeeberry]

Coffeeberry, take a jug, and to it cartridges from scale No. 6. I specially bought for the coffee maker and for the e-mail. teapot.

[Coffeeberry]

Coffeeberry,
Good morning! The cappuccino maker cannot be disassembled, just remove the tip and rinse it of milk, and clean the steel tube in a glass of water - let the steam run dry for blowing. Sometimes, if I forget right away, the milk is slightly welded, and you have to wipe it off with a damp cloth (very easily, once or twice).

I took the photos in the process, yesterday we were so drunk with coffee that we could hardly fall asleep. Today I will process and fill it.

If anything, I have an aquaphor, a cartridge with silver, I don't remember the number, but it cleans everything.

[Elena]

A 180 ml mug fit when I removed the pallet. One low cup (120 ml) or two small ones for espresso (60 ml) fits with the tray. Picked up from the pasabahce assortment.
Because of the sidewalls, two larger cups cannot be placed.

ElenaWhat size cup (height and diameter) fits in this coffee maker? And what are the dimensions of her own?

[Biryusa]

Biryusa,
I wrote the height of the mug on the ozone, I think.
In short, I will come home and measure the capacity, diameter and height of mugs, cups and cups for espresso.

I processed the photo, today I will definitely start the Temko. Conscience stuck.)))

Yes, I already ordered this car

Today I will definitely start a Temko.

Come on, I'll wait. While I get my coffee maker, I will study the materiel

[Biryusa]

Biryusa,
Well done, this is a worthy machine in its price range. Price-quality-result ratio! And beautiful.

[mur_myau]

mur_myau, Lena, everything: I with a coffee maker, received it today and have already tried it, and even several times Very! I really liked the coffee - I made both espresso and cappuccino with cream. The foam is really gorgeous, and the taste of the drink is great.A few questions arose along the way:
1. What grind of coffee is better to take? I already had the medium ground, and the cake turned out to be almost dry. Is that how it should be?
2. How to program the cooking time? Press the on button, and when it stops blinking, you have to press one of the buttons with the cups (I understood that), but do I have to press it again and hold it for the required time, or is it held during the first press?
3. The instructions tell you how to rinse the milk frother:
"Wait until the coffee maker has cooled down, remove the nozzle from the cappuccinatore tube (12) and unscrew
the tip from the cappuccinatore tube (12) by turning it counterclockwise "
What's the tip? Does it look like a nut with edges? If this is it, then with my hands I could not turn it off, I decided not to resort to tools yet

[Biryusa]

Biryusa,
Read Temko. Created. F-fuh ...
https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=429344.0

the cake turned out to be almost dry. Is that how it should be?

Very, very dry. Or a hard, slightly damp tablet with no signs of water? If the first - rammed coffee, and the second is the same. Not a lot, and not a little

How do I program the cooking time?

Turned on, you cook, for example, double. Default 120 ml (like two espresso cups). And you substituted a cup with a capacity of 100-110 ml. Don't panic. During the brewing process, look when the level of the drink has reached the critical level, press on-off again, the preparation will stop, and the coffee maker will remember the settings so that next time you do not watch over the cup.
If you need to reset the user settings, when turned on, hold for 5-6 seconds continuously on-off.
The instructions say about this.

What's the tip?

He is not here! This is a blooper of instructions. There is only a silicone nozzle, it can be removed just like that, with handles. Then you wipe the pipe, blow it dry in a glass of water, and wash the nozzle under the tap. Truncated ...
About the turn, they most likely meant a steam switch.

There is no need to unscrew anything at all, everything is controlled by elementary buttons.

PS Maybe somewhere I called something wrong, but I stuck pictures everywhere, so you will understand. The instructions were buried somewhere, you have to look.

[Anastasia]

Anastasia, good evening. Anastasia, please answer, now that time has passed, what can you say about your Vitek1513 coffee maker. I would like to give my daughter, I like the price, I counted the reviews, nothing too. I just never before paid attention to this brand and did not take it seriously, but now the prices are very biting ...

[S * lena]

S * lena, if this is a question for me, then I will answer. I follow this topic because I really like the coffee maker. The coffee is a very decent brew, as I like.Today I tried to brew and drink espresso for the first time, but I always drink only cappuccino. It was very tasty! Intense taste, cream foam, everything as it should be. And the cappuccinatore perfectly knocks out the milk, the foam is very persistent, lasts until the very end, remains in the cup, I finish it with a spoon. Milk is whipped of a wide variety of fat content, UHT and short shelf life. Although I'm thinking about a coffee machine, the thought stops me, but will it be much tastier than coffee, how much more does it cost than Vitek?
Summary: I still like Vitek, it has a stable result, it is very simple, it provides a quality drink for its price.
Here's my morning cappuccino

[AnastasiaK]

AnastasiaK, thank you for your quick and detailed answer and there are still 5 minutes of celebration left, sorry right away, I didn't realize: Happy Birthday !!!!! Fulfillment of all dreams, success and health!

Girls, hello! Finally, I also bought a Vitek1513 coffee maker. I am delighted with the first days of use, but I also had questions. 1. after brewing coffee, my cake remains with water 2. in the coffee filter, the silicone bottom in one place leaves a little, is it critical or is it okay? and 3. I don't have very high foam. Girls, please tell me what I'm doing wrong. I would be glad to any advice.

after brewing coffee, my cake remains with water

Ram it harder ... All by typing, so to speak, stronger, weaker .. The tablet should be "dry" and well knocked out of the horn ... Don't worry, fill your hand, everything will be fine ..

not very high foam.

In the sense of a cream, right? It depends on the quality of the coffee, on the grinding. Choose a type of coffee, maybe try a coffee that says "crema" .. a wide field for searching for Your coffee ...
You go to the prokofe website, where you can read how to brew coffee in a coffee horn ...

The combination of Arabica and Robusta gives a good foam.

[Coffeeberry]

in St. Petersburg they are offline 4 thousand rubles. with pennies are

Coffeeberry, and this is where, can I link?

[gawala, Tanyusha,]

gawala, Tanyusha, Thank you very much for the advice, I also think that over time I will understand how to do it, I think that my grinding is too fine, that's why it happens and my coffee is pure Arabica, I will buy and try something else. everything will come with experience

Ram it harder ... All by "typing", so to speak, stronger, weaker .. The tablet should be "dry" and well be knocked out of the horn

Live and learn, for some reason I acted on the contrary, in the end I pushed the "wrong coffee maker * into the far corner
Thank you!

I, for some reason, did the opposite, in the end I pushed the "wrong coffee maker * into the far corner

I, for some reason, did the opposite, in the end I pushed the "wrong coffee maker * into the far corner

oh, no, I will not refuse a coffee maker, because there is no comparison with instant coffee, whatever one may say, this is heaven and earth

Can anyone tell me - it seems to me, or does the vitek vt-1514 have a height from the horn to the pallet (for drops) more than in 1513? In 1513, without removing the tray, you can put a ceramic glass, which is usually 300 grams?
Owners of both (and 13 and 14 models), can you measure the height from the horn to the pallet? Pliiiz

[anna2008]

anna2008, I have Vitek 1513, the distance from the lower protrusions on the horn to the pallet is 8.5 cm. A 250 ml glass glass (standard) rises only with an inclination, you need to remove the metal lid from the pallet (I do this sometimes) or use a wide, but low cup.

Take a new one! Today I received Vitek VT-1517 (BN) It’s insanely sorry for the deceased coffee machine ... but we will somehow live on. I don’t belong to coffee lovers, rather for my husband, but her cappuccino foam is excellent !!

On ozone, she is now under the action, and the 14th model even with a gift in the form of a coffee grinder ...

Helen, congratulations on the new machine, let it only please you.
