Magimix Coffee Machines Review

Posted by Mr Coolerer on 29 Dec 2009 | Tagged as: Information, Reviews

John Raleigh Brown Says:

When Magimix first introduced their food processors about 30 years ago, they came in strong, providing home owners in Burgundy, France, a feel of professional kitchen but in a smaller scale. It is no happenstance as well that such introduction was in the area where gastronomy was noted to be glooming well.

Food and culture and Magimix appliances pretty much mix well together. Their production of coffee makers gives additional illustration for this.

Quality, simplicity, practicality and appearance being their four main values, they do not compromise when it comes to these things, even with people’s coffees. Having owned their Magimix coffee maker machines, users can not describe them something lesser than brilliant.

Brilliance is no accident, though. Their well acclaimed design does not stop at their great facade and stylish colored capsules. The feeling of exclusivity is the product comes with their brilliant marketing, as well, of course. The coffee machine accessories even extend this, as well. Although the cups would require a little more cash out, they provide that feeling of exclusivity, as well as the capsule design.

Exclusivity has its price, though. This is perhaps the slight downside to this. It costs a little bit more than the regular coffee makers you’d find around, and you generally can’t find them in mall stores, rather you have to mail order them.

But as they are backed with a really good system and machine make-up, you’ll get that freshly brewed coffee right at your home counter. After all, that’s what is most important, right? The coffees are great, so much so that this is likely an understatement. Creating them would not be a problem, as well. Be it espresso, capuccino or latte that you’d like, expect to have it fresh and just right – as real as it can get.

As every brew is fresh and consistent, your expectation would not go astray. Imagine waking up to fresh cup every time and anytime of the day you’d want your fresh coffee.

Vibiemme Domobar Super

In the world of home espresso machines, few features are more prominently recognizable than the saucer-shaped E61 grouphead. Its expansive chrome surface certainly offers plenty of eye candy, but the popularity of espresso machines based on this design owes as much to its well-deserved reputation for “forgiving” minor errors in barista technique as to good looks. Because the market has been flooded with such a variety of machines designed around the E61 group, buyers are frequently torn between what seems to be indistinguishable choices. Continue Reading »

Improve your shots with quality water

Posted by Mr Coolerer on 17 Dec 2009 | Tagged as: Technique

Almost your entire cup of coffee is water (97-99%), this should come as no surprise. What may come as a shock is the effect of the quality of the water on your espresso. It would make sense that if you use poor quality water, you may as well stop reading now and open a jar of instant. Its not that drastic but this ever neglected factor is one that deserves more thought than most people give it.
