Coffee Bean Coffee Machines If you purchase a coffee bean machine, you can enjoy delicious, fresh whole-bean, roasted coffee that is prepared to your exact specifications. The machine grinds the beans, measures them, tamps them and then pushes hot water through the ground to create rich, flavourful coffee. These machines offer a variety of advantages over pod machines, such as less environmental waste, and ease of use. The machine is fully automated and can be operated by pressing a button. Grinding The grind you choose is vital to making a great cup of coffee. The size of the particle is crucial along with its shape and consistency. Incorrectly grinding beans can cause the water to flow too fast through the ground, leading to under extraction of flavor or over extraction of bitterness. A good grinder should come with a variety of grind sizes to allow you to pick the most appropriate method to brew your drink. It is important to test different sizes of grind as this can affect the flavor of your coffee. The smallest particles are best for espresso and French presses, while larger, coarser particles are best for brewing in an immersion like the Moka pot or Chemex. Try roasting your beans, then grinding the beans just prior to brewing them to make a delicious cup of coffee. This will enhance the flavor and aroma of your coffee, and will help you make an excellent cup every time. It is also essential to store the beans ground in an airtight container in a cool, dark place to ensure their freshness and flavor. Commercial coffee bean to cup machines offer unparalleled convenience and allow you to enjoy barista-quality coffee at the push of the button. These machines take care of everything from preparation of the beans, to tamping them, making them an ideal option for busy cafes and offices. They begin by grinding the desired beans to a specific grind size. They can be set to match your preferred brew method and are able to be programmed to serve the desired number of cups at once. Some automatically tamp the grounds in order to create a perfectly compacted ball of coffee, ensuring most consistent extraction possible. A machine that makes bean-to-cup usually has large hoppers for you to fill with beans. The machine will automatically grind beans before dispensing the right amount of the beverage you select. The display on these machines will display the beans used and the size of the grind that you select. It will also display the total amount of drinks the machine is set to prepare. Extraction When a coffee bean is ground it breaks down into smaller pieces, referred to as particles. The size of these particles could have a big impact on the way that coffee is extracted and consequently how good the finished cup will taste. In a bean to cup machine, the size of the beans is controlled prior to brewing so that it matches with the extraction method required by the machine. This lets you enjoy the best cup of coffee every time and does not require the skills of baristas. A bean-to-cup machine lets you regulate the brewing time so that you achieve the strength you desire. This is a huge advantage over pod machines, which often offer less control and can result in a weaker or bitter tasting coffee. Bean-to-cup machines allow you to regulate not just the brew-time as well as the temperature of the water. This allows you to control how strong the coffee will be. Extraction is an intricate process that depends on the right balance of particle size, dose and tamping pressure. A coffee that is not extracted properly could be caused by any of these factors. Under-extracted coffee will taste sour and sharp While coffee that has been over-extracted will taste bitter and dry. In order to ensure that your coffee is extracted correctly, it is essential to have a good quality grinder and the right type of beans. Light roasts are often not a good choice for espresso or fully automatic machines because the short extraction time can result in a coffee that is lacking body and flavor. Darker roasts with a higher Robusta percentage, like our Jhai (100% Robusta) or Tiga Terra are a better choice for these machines because they offer more robust flavors and bodies. The choice between a pod-based machine and a bean-to-cup coffee machine ultimately comes down to the convenience of each and your personal preferences. Pod coffee machines provide an easy method of making tea and coffee, but they are often less cost-effective than a bean-to-cup device and can create a lot of waste due to the disposal of the discarded pods. Dispensing Using whole beans eliminates pods, saving you money and offering more flexibility. However this also means your machine requires more regular maintenance and cleaning than pod-based models. Fortunately they've been made with low maintenance in mind. Many have features that simplify this task. For instance, the majority of bean-to-cup coffee makers have automatic cleaning and rinsing cycles, making it easy to keep your machine in good condition without disrupting your daily activities. Another feature that is useful is the ability to add hot, steaming milk to coffee drinks. This helps your team members adjust their drink to suit their preferences and tastes, while boosting productivity. It's also a good method to show that you are concerned about your team's health. In fact, it has been scientifically proven that coffee boosts dopamine production and norepinephrine production which boosts motivation and focus in the workplace. Certain models provide even more options for customization of beverages, such as texturizing the milk in cappuccinos and lattes. This feature is a key selling point for baristas who may have only a limited amount of time to prepare each cup of coffee. The size of the water tank as well as the bean hopper are also crucial aspects to look out for when choosing a high-quality bean-to cup coffee maker. The water tank determines the amount of time the machine will run before it needs to be refilled and the size of the hopper will affect the frequency at which you will need to replenish the beans. The bigger the capacity the lower the frequency you'll need to replenish. You must carefully consider the type of beans you will be using prior to purchasing a bean to cup coffee maker. Different grind sizes can impact the flavor and consistency of each cup. Additionally, you'll want to look into the machine's settings that can be programmed, which allow users to tweak aspects of their drinks to create their ideal beverage every time. The spouts that dispense coffee on your coffee machine could become clogged by ground coffee residue or other debris left behind after grinding. To avoid a slow and inconsistent flow that could result in an insufficient amount of coffee grounds, the spouts need to be cleaned regularly. This could be due a coarser grind setting or dried or oily beans, or lack of regular cleaning. Cleaning Cleaning coffee machines is a vital component of maintaining them. It helps prevent the build-up and accumulation of residues that can affect the taste and quality. Regular cleaning helps keep the machine in good working order and reduces the possibility of a malfunction that could result in a costly repair. Many bean-to-cup coffee machines come with an integrated daily cleaning cycle that flushes through pipes to clean the brewing unit. Some will include a separate milk side cleaning cycle to ensure that both spouts have been cleaned hygienically. During installation, a good rental company will train their employees on how to clean and maintain the equipment. This helps to reduce confusion and ensure that procedures are followed. A clear set of instructions and a thorough understanding of the process will help to prevent any mistakes that could result in costly repairs or poor quality drinks. It is best to wash the carafe, permanent filter and brew basket after every use in hot, soapy water or in the dishwasher if marked as safe for this. It is also recommended to run three or more times of fresh water with no K cups or ground coffee in the machine between use. This helps eliminate any oily residue and prevent the growth of bacteria, yeast or mould. It is a good idea for single-serve coffee makers or pod coffee makers to conduct a deep cleaning and descale every four weeks. A vinegar solution is normally used for this. Add up to four cups of vinegar to the reservoir and then run the machine through a brewing cycle. Once the cycle is complete, rinse and descale according to the instructions of the manufacturer and run a few cycles of fresh water to remove any vinegar smell. Commercial machines usually come with a built-in telemetry system that records the specifics of each cleaning cycle. This can be viewed by you or your supplier to ensure that the machine is being cleaned regularly. This could also alert you to any moving parts that have become seized or stuck, which would need more precise repair and maintenance.
