machine. To choose the right machine for you, you need to know the key elements that affect its quality and thus the price. Below, we will discuss the key parameters of semi-automatic espresso machines, their impact on the quality of brewed coffee, as well as functionality and efficiency.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"1-boiler\">1. Boiler<\/h3>\n<p>It is the heart of the coffee machine, containing hot water and steam. The greater its capacity, the better for the coffee machine&#8217;s performance and temperature stability. Espresso machines are usually built in three technologies, which offer successively higher possibilities and are also an indicator of the price shelf.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Single Boiler:<\/strong> one element is responsible for heating the water for espresso brewing, as well as generating steam for frothing milk. This type of boiler is a basic design used in cheap coffee machines. Its downside is that you cannot brew espresso and froth milk at the same time. This extends the preparation time of beverages such as cappuccino, latte or flat white. Single boilers also usually have low capacity, which translates into their low efficiency. Such machines will work well for those who love black coffee \u2013 if espresso is your go-to drink, you will find a good coffee machine on a small budget.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12874\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12874\" style=\"width: 450px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  class=\"wp-image-12874 size-full pk-lazyload\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"Sage Duo-Temp Pro espresso machine\"  width=\"450\"  height=\"450\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/www.coffeedesk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/sage_jeden.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.coffeedesk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/sage_jeden.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.coffeedesk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/sage_jeden-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.coffeedesk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/sage_jeden-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.coffeedesk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/sage_jeden-90x90.jpg 90w\" ><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12874\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coffeedesk.com\/product\/8940\/Sage-Duo-Temp-Pro-Brushed-Stainless-Steel-Coffee-Machine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Sage Duo-Temp Pro<\/strong><\/a> | 404,53 \u20ac<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Heat Exchanger (HX):<\/strong> the top, professional semi-automatic espresso machines are mostly based on this system. The main, larger boiler is responsible for generating steam for frothing the milk. Inside, there is a smaller boiler, which is heated by the warmth of the surrounding water. This is the heat exchanger that contains the water used for brewing the espresso. The advantage of this solution is the possibility of frothing milk and brewing coffee at the same time. Steam is available at any time and it is not necessary to heat the boiler up to generate steam, as is the case with the single-boiler system. The HX is usually larger in size, which results in higher efficiency and better temperature stability. This technology has proven to be successful in gastronomy for many years. Its disadvantage, however, is the dependence of the water temperature on the steam boiler settings. Therefore, if we increase the steam pressure to e.g. froth milk more easily and faster, the extraction temperature automatically goes up and vice versa \u2013 lowering the water temperature results in lower steam power, and in extreme settings it may not be generated in the amount necessary to froth milk. HX is a good solution for anyone who appreciates high-quality espresso, but also wants to froth milk and enjoy cappuccinos or flat white coffees.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12887\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12887\" style=\"width: 450px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  class=\"wp-image-12887 size-full pk-lazyload\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"\u00a0Domobar Junior HX espresso machine\"  width=\"450\"  height=\"450\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/www.coffeedesk.pl\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/domobar-super.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.coffeedesk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/domobar-super.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.coffeedesk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/domobar-super-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.coffeedesk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/domobar-super-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.coffeedesk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/domobar-super-90x90.jpg 90w\" ><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12887\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coffeedesk.com\/product\/479\/Domobar-Junior-Hx-Coffee-Machine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u00a0Domobar Junior HX<\/a> <\/strong>| 1 793,34 \u20ac<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Double Boiler (DB):<\/strong> this system includes two boilers with separate heaters.

Temperature control<\/h3>\n<p>Water temperature is one of the key parameters influencing coffee extraction. Its setting, as well as stability over time, are highly desirable not only because of the quality of the espresso, but also the convenience of use.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Thermostat \/ pressure switch<\/strong> &#8211; is an analog temperature control system. Usually, specific values are not marked, so the settings are adjusted roughly. In this case it takes some practice to control the temperature and to sense the right moment to start extraction. However, the analog system is not a problem if you just want to drink an espresso or coffee with milk, and your dreams involve other things than portafilters, pressure switches and rotary pumps.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12889\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12889\" style=\"width: 450px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  class=\"wp-image-12889 size-full pk-lazyload\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"Gran Gaggia Carezza Deluxe espresso machine\"  width=\"450\"  height=\"450\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/www.coffeedesk.pl\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/ggaggia.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.coffeedesk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/ggaggia.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.coffeedesk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/ggaggia-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.coffeedesk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/ggaggia-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.coffeedesk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/ggaggia-90x90.jpg 90w\" ><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12889\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A classic thermostat can be found in more affordable models, such as the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coffeedesk.com\/product\/6612\/Gran-Gaggia-Carezza-Deluxe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Gran Gaggia Carezza Deluxe<\/a><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<ul>\n<li>However, if you\u2019re actually one of these users, you will only be satisfied with <strong>a digital PID temperature controller<\/strong>.
