Best Coffee Machine For Latte Drinks
There are a variety of coffee machines, ranging from simple drip to more complex espresso. Latte makers differ from an espresso machine because the milk carafe can be taken off and put in the refrigerator to steam milk-based beverages.
this article are also equipped with a powerful steam wand which produces a rich foam for cappuccinos or lattes at the touch of one button. They can be utilized with skim, whole, low-fat or regular milk as well as non-dairy alternatives like soy.
1. Cuisinart DCM-810 Espresso Machine and Cappuccino Maker
The Cuisinart Espresso and Cappuccino Maker DCM-810 takes the home coffee maker to a cafe-quality level. This brewing machine is powered by electricity and creates a rich, intense flavor and a silky crema with 19 bars of pressure. The programmable design lets users choose between single and double espressos, hot water for Americanos, or cappuccinos or lattes, using the included stainless steel steam nozzle and foaming cup. Setups allow them to adjust the espresso strength, brew temperature, as well as milk volume to customize drinks to their personal preferences. The machine also works with Nespresso(r) OriginalLine capsules, and has an automatic waste bin that ejects the capsules. Two-year warranty included.
3. Philips SMART Espresso and Cappuccino Machine with Milk Frother
This is a super-automatic espresso machine that can make lattes and cappuccinos at the touch of the button. It has a hopper to store beans and a steam frother for making milk drinks. It may not have as many features, but it is still a great machine for reasonable prices.
Our tests confirmed that Philips' brewing system uses an "intelligent system" to choose the appropriate water temperature for the most flavor. It also uses a pre-infusion phase which allows the beans to expand prior to the extraction process, which results in an easier cup of coffee.
The machine is fast and easy to use. The controls are clearly marked and it's easy to select a drink using the large, easy-to-read display. Just power on the machine, wait a minute to see it go through its automatic cleaning routine, and then choose the caffeinated beverage of your choice. The machine will save your strength and water settings so that you can make a quick cup the next time you're in need of one.
Like other espresso machines, the Philips SMART does take some getting used to. It can be quite noisy, especially when the steam wand is working (and even when it's not). It is also recommended that you clean the wand that froths after every use, which can be tedious for those who drink lots of milk-based drinks a day. You can use the wand with out cleaning it, however this is not recommended as you might find dried milk in the nozzle.
This is an excellent espresso and latte machine for those who wish to cut down on coffee shop trips, but have complete control over the drinks they create. It's an excellent alternative to buying a dedicated Nespresso machine that comes with capsules that are its own. Philips SMART is priced at just under $1,000 but will save you money over time, making it possible to avoid those $5 Starbucks trips.
