the only problem with this machine is the coffee compartment. its not air tight or have a Silica gel compartment. so over time, the freeze dried coffee will absorb moisture and stick to the container. i modified some plastic strips to hold silica gel packets above the coffee. the coffee doesnt stick.. but if you dont drink the balance granules will oxidize. so if you are going to stop coffee for a more than a few days, empty out the coffee compartment and clean. best coffee for me is UCC special blend. or blend 118. 114 has a strong acidity tinge.. like kopitiam coffee. the Barista gold from nescafe is just the Gold with coffee ground added before forming the granules. personally i might be shifting to cold brew or if i have cash, a capsule machine with reusable pods
1. Tchibo Gold (it's cheaper & taste better than Nescafe Gold. At least in my opinion.) 2. Davidoff (under Tchibo group) 3. Robert Timms 4. Moccona 5. UCC 117 / Sumiyaki 6. Haco 7. UCC Premium Sumiyaki - Above list is sorted by price/gram: low to high. - They are freeze dried instant coffee granules, but not sure if they are fully compatible with the machine. - Freeze dried instant coffee is generally materialistic: what you paid, is what you get (except Nescafe Gold = overpriced vs better competitors).
Wow, thanks for the suggestion. I will going to try the Tchibo Gold, hope can get it in my country. Yes, this coffee machine work with any freeze dried coffee. ☺️
Nestle said that the machine support only Nestle gold rich and smooth - if I try to get try from the coffee bean, what type of granule that I should get?
Actually any freeze dried coffee can be use on this coffee machine. When you looking on the packaging label of the coffee, you will see the words "Freeze Dried" You can try out this Tesco house brand,Tesco Gold Freeze Dried Coffee. Taste not bad. 😄😊
I just ordered this machine. Will I be able to use BRU brand instant coffee. It is more like a fine powder. Or does it have to be granuals like Nescafe brands.
Thank you for watching and comments. Yes you can make Americano, this coffee machine can adjust the coffee volume and water level to make different types of coffee. You need add sugar by yourself.
Yes actually dried freeze taste not bad if compare to cube coffee or fresh ground coffee. I don't know why.. the dried freeze coffee are more tasty when it made by this coffee machine... 😊
Jangan. Tak boleh. Mesin ni hanya boleh coffee jenis Freeze Dried Coffee sahaja. Semua coffee dalam bentuk serbuk tak boleh guna dengan mesin ni. Kalau nak cari gantian... Boleh cuba Tesco Gold Freeze Dried Coffee. Rasa pun ok dan harga dia murah juga.
Tanda air? mesin saya baru keluar tanda ini... Tiba masa utk bersihkan saluran aliran air mesin ini. Guna Descaling Agent (bolen cari di Shopee). Saluran air mesin ini telah sumbat.
