Product Information

The espresso temperature was spot on at 65ºC, which is handy, since there’s no temperature control with this mode.

Maybe you prefer an indulgent cappuccino with a creamy, frothy top to give a mild pleasure to your taste buds? Whilst it comes with comprehensive instructions, the Caffeo Solo machine is incredibly easy to use, even intuitive.Fast forward over 100 years and today they have a great selection of bean to cup coffee machines to choose from. If you’ve never used a bean to coffee machine before you’ll be amazed at how simple it is to use, and at the quality of drink that it provides. Yeah, it is not as exciting as looking at the technology, and dreaming about the coffees you could be making.

If you enjoy Cappuccinos or Latte Macchiatos almost every day, you’re better off with alternatives like the Melitta Caffeo CI or the feature-rich Melitta Caffeo Barista TS Smart anyway. Unfortunately, upon first turning on the machine the power and clean lights flashed and no action could change the state. For milk, you have to attach the Cappuccinatore, which clips over the spout that sticks out the machine. All of these personalised settings can be saved, so you can replicate your perfect cup of coffee at the touch of a button, without the need to configure the machine each time. Still, we do have to contrast one machine with the Solo — namely because it follows the same design concept.

However unlike other machines you only have 3 options when it comes to deciding how fine or coarse you would like your beans ground. Unfortunately, this way of thinking is misguided, as we must never forget that a fully automatic coffee machine and a filter coffee machine have two completely different preparation principles.

With 2 different coffee programmes to choose from, you'll always have a deliciously rich and aromatic drink ready at the touch of a button. You can easily remove the brewing unit, water tank and drip tray to give them a good clean, with warm water. The spout on the front can dispense two coffees, sliding up and down to accommodate cups of up to 135mm tall. A nice discovery in this respect is the Philips EP2224/10 or the EP2200/10, as it’s known in the United States.So let me quickly explain the different models in the series, note they also have several different machines within these model types, but then you are just getting into outer casing colour.

Each of our bean to cup machines indicate when they are due to be cleaned or descaled, taking the guesswork out of “when did we last clean the coffee machine?And I guarantee it doesn’t matter how excellent coffee it produces, you will stop using after a while, because you can’t be bothered with the cleaning.
