CoffeeGeek - Espresso: Machines and Grinders, Why is the 'THERMOBLOC' so despised by many GEEKS

CoffeeGeek - Espresso: Machines and Grinders, Why is the 'THERMOBLOC' so despised by many GEEKS ()

  „Usually marketed by Krups, Capresso, Delonghi and other companies, Thermoblocks are technically espresso machines (in that they are pump driven), but the heating element inside is, for the most part, inadequate for the rather complex task of producing espresso and steamed milk. The thermoblocks are akin to a car radiator - water is flash heated as it passes through. They tend to give under extracted shots because the piping inside the thermoblock leeches away your high pressure. Steam power and longevity is also questionable because of the lack of adequate airspace to build up steam pressure.“

  „Right now the only option I have seen that looks at least remotely like a decent machine is the Delonghi 4 cup Thermal Travel Mug Coffeemaker. It uses the stainless still Carafe similar to what the Quattro uses. I have read some bad things about other Delonghi coffeemakers, but I do not know how that translates to other coffeemakers in the Delonghi line.“
