While many of us have the time and savor the process of creating our own espresso drink others would much rather press the button and have their preferred drink delivered to the cup. The super automatic espresso coffee makers of today have become much like the Apollo Space Shuttle. Once these modern espresso coffee makers are launched they will make constant adjustments from take off all the way to the landing of a perfect shot of espresso. Stay with us now while we take you thru the functions and operation process (flight) of the super automatic espresso maker.
After the initial programming process of the pilot's preferences and destinations (type and boldness of drink) it is just the flick of the switch. Once the switch is turned on the machine goes into its pre-flight mode where the coffee (fuel) is ground, measured, tamped and made ready to be brewed.
Upon takeoff the first stage of the brewing process is initiated (pre- infusion). This is where the ground coffee is wetted and allowed to soak for seconds which in theory releases the oils from the grounds and also creates an evener puck without fissures or channeling. This pre--infusion time can be programmed on some machines but the process happens automatically.
The second stage is the actual brewing and blending of the particular drink. This is where the espresso shot is pulled and (depending on the drink recipe) the milk is frothed and carefully mixed to all the pre-programmed settings. There is at least one machine available (Saeco Xelsis Digital ID) with finger print reading for up to six different individuals with six different with drink preferences each. With a touch of the finger the choices appear and with one touch more its blast off, the drink is in the making.
The final stage of course is the landing where the drink is poured into the cup and the espresso coffee maker starts its shut down (cleaning process). All machines vary but they generally have a waste compartment where used coffee grounds are placed and stored as well as automated milk circuit cleaning, descaling and rinsing cycles. These super automatic espresso coffee makers not only make excellent espresso drinks, shots and coffees they also do most of their own maintenance.
The comparison between the Apollo Space Shuttle and a espresso coffee machine may be a bit of a stretch but one can certainly see how far we have come since the advent of the first espresso coffee makers and the super automatic espresso coffee maker of today.
For those who are the run and not wanting the maintenance but love a great espresso these are truly the way to go. The quality of the shot will not be that of a manual/lever type or semi-automatic in the hands of an experienced or even moderately experienced home barista but with every plus there is a minus. One thing worth noting is that these super automatic espresso makers, at least the higher quality models are more readily available online than at retail outlets.
