Recommendations when using devices

In order not to make a mistake when buying, you need to consider some of the nuances:

  1. It is better to choose a coffee maker immediately of the desired volume, because the most intense coffee taste is obtained when both the water tank and the ground coffee tank are completely filled. And if a three-cup model was bought, and it is planned to drink coffee alone, then there will be an offensive overspending of ground grain.
  2. Water must be poured into the tank up to the emergency valve, but you should not save on water. If there is not enough liquid in the container, then more steam is formed than usual, which spoils the taste of coffee.
  3. Coffee should be medium grind, then the particles will not seep into any of the housings.
  4. Fill the coffee container almost completely, but at the same time do not tamp, so as not to impede the passage of water.
  5. It is necessary to check the operation of the emergency valve at the time of purchase and before each use..
  6. Do not wash aluminum coffee makers with detergents and brushesbecause the metal absorbs odor and is susceptible to abrasive materials. If you carefully and carefully use the device, then the drink prepared in such a coffee maker will only become tastier every time.
Attention! To avoid damage, do not wash the coffee maker in the dishwasher.

In addition, after using the coffee maker, allow it to cool down before brewing coffee again.

    I bought a geyser coffee maker in Italy itself back in 2016 and it helps me a lot. She is very pretty, looks stylish. It cost me about 40 euros. It is easy to clean, but the Italians do not recommend washing it clean, because. coffee oils left in the coffee maker add a spicier taste to the drink. The volume is 240 ml, designed for 6 people, but this is based on small coffee mugs, so for those who like to drink coffee from a standard cup, the volume is enough for only 2 people).

    I bought myself a geyser coffee maker of this brand, I can’t tell the model anymore, they threw out the box, but I bought it a couple of years ago. I can say that all the good reviews are not accidental, it works great to this day. The design is ordinary, but quite beautiful, nothing to complain about.I didn’t want to overpay the shops, so during the trip I remembered and decided to buy. I really like this coffee maker.

    I've had this coffee maker for two years now with no problems. But at the same time, if you look, then there is just an elementary technology, and there is nothing to break. Pay attention to the bottom of the coffee maker, over time this is the weakest part, I chose very carefully. And my advice is not to take models cheaper than $ 25, otherwise you will be disappointed. I don’t know if it’s right or not, but experts do not advise washing the coffee maker after each brew.

    We have such a coffee maker - Bialetti Moka Induction for 3 cups. Bought in Italy (there it is a little cheaper than in Russia). Excellent thing! Previously, they could not find just such a look for an induction cooker, but they accidentally came across a store and were happy. The only negative is that this type of coffee maker is not very diverse in design, there are other options that are very interesting, both in color and shape. Well, there are still problems with unwinding. But the coffee is very tasty, there are no questions.

      And considering that you can do tax free at the airport before your return flight, you can save even more!
