Strong and fragrant coffee in the morning or during the day is something akin to a habit for many of us. But making really delicious coffee is not easy. A drink prepared in a mug is completely different. This requires a special device called a coffee maker. There are several varieties of it, each of which has its own advantages and disadvantages. If you like espresso, then the carob coffee maker will become an indispensable assistant, which we will talk about today.

Water is poured into the boiler, and ground coffee is placed in the horn (it is advisable to prepare the beans before each preparation of the drink). The horn coffee maker will do the rest of the work itself. The water heats up, steam is generated, which passes through the coffee and enters the cup. The last one beforeit is desirable to warm up so that the walls are not cold. In order to understand whether you should buy such a model, let's look at the principle of its operation. Such a coffee maker got its name due to the shape of the coffee compartment, made in the form of a horn. For comparison: other models may use nets or pouches. Coffee is prepared under high steam pressure, which is why it turns out to be especially tasty and strong. Moreover, thanks to steam, the maximum amount of useful substances gets into the cup.

As you can see, using this coffee maker is very simple. Depending on the power implemented in the model, coffee can be prepared in 0.5-2 minutes. Many carob coffee makers are equipped with additional features such as an anti-drip system and overheating protection. The latter feature is especially useful as it protects the instrument from excessive loads.
And one more nice moment. With the help of such a coffee maker you can prepare not only espresso, but also cappuccino (coffee with foam). But here much will depend on the capabilities of the models: some will cope with this task better, others worse.

First of all, you should pay attention to the power of the device. The larger it is, the more powerful the steam pressure will be, which means that the coffee will be more saturated. It also depends on the preparation time of the drink. So,a 1000 W carob coffee maker with a steam pressure of up to 4 bar prepares coffee in two minutes, and a model with 1000-1700 W and a steam pressure of up to 15 pairs can cope with the task in just 30 seconds.
During the purchase, you should decide on the material of the horn. It is best if it is metal, because thanks to this material, the coffee will warm up better. And a plastic cone can produce watery coffee with a sour taste.
These are the main points to consider when buying a device. It remains only to decide on the price, because the carob coffee maker fits into a wide range in terms of cost. Experience shows that a cheaper device capable of preparing 1-2 cups of aromatic drink is quite enough for one person. In principle, all models of coffee makers are capable of preparing a small amount of coffee at a time. In any case, the choice is yours.
