What is a Fully Automatic Coffee Machine?

A fully automatic coffee machine refers to a device that can produce a cup of coffee with just a button press—automating the entire process from grinding coffee beans to brewing coffee with hot water.

Fully automatic coffee machines are the fastest-growing segment in the entire coffee machine industry. Coffee made by high-quality fully automatic coffee machines can completely compete with commercial professional machines. Because they can automatically grind beans and are much lower in price compared to professional machines, they have been favored by households and offices since their introduction.

As coffee culture becomes more established in the country, fully automatic coffee machines are creating a new purchasing craze.

Features of Fully Automatic Coffee Machines

To meet the needs for automatic heating, coffee brewing, water addition, and machine cleaning, designers have created fully automatic coffee machines. Compared to ordinary coffee machines, fully automatic ones include many additional features, typically including:

Program Settings: For fully automatic coffee machines, program settings are generally similar, such as cup volume control, temperature control, pre-grinding function, coffee bean dosage adjustment, and preset functions.

Cleaning Function: The components of fully automatic coffee machines are detachable. After use, you can remove the detachable parts for cleaning, while parts that cannot be detached will be cleaned automatically by the machine.

Heating System: Fully automatic coffee machines use thermal resistance plates and heating units for heating, usually completing the process from brewing temperature to heating temperature in less than a minute. Some fully automatic coffee machines have two heating systems, which can reduce your waiting time.

Digital Intelligent Control: Fully automatic coffee machines use digital intelligent control. The machine's LCD screen can display the working status at any time. The digital display shows what the coffee machine is ready to do or what it is currently doing, allowing you to brew coffee according to the indicators.

How to Use

1. To make coffee, first connect to the power source. The coffee machine must be connected to an A/C outlet. The voltage used must match the specified voltage indicated on the machine packaging. Do not use defective power cords. After plugging in the power, turn on the coffee machine's power switch.

2. Remove the bean hopper lid and add an appropriate amount of coffee beans to the bean hopper (the capacity of most fully automatic coffee machines' bean hoppers does not exceed 400g). Fill to 80% full.

3. Remove the water tank from the machine, take off the tank lid, and fill with about 3/4 capacity of clean water. The valve at the bottom of the water tank serves to release water. When returning the water tank to the machine, press the water tank lightly against the automatically opening valve, then close the tank lid.

4. After completing the above preparations, you can start making coffee. Most fully automatic coffee machines have several function buttons on their body: "small cup," "large cup," hot water/steam, coffee powder, etc. Some machines don't have a powder button because they don't have a powder chute device, meaning they can only use coffee beans. Some main menus also include options such as coffee powder amount setting, coffee water volume (concentration) setting, coffee temperature setting, double cup, etc. Specific functions vary by machine. Press the large cup button for a large cup of coffee, or press the small cup button for a small cup. Therefore, making coffee with a fully automatic coffee machine is very simple and doesn't require excessive manual operation, as long as the basic conditions for making coffee are met.

Performance Characteristics

Relying on high-performance electronic technology, programs, and intelligent automatic control, fully automatic machines can achieve the entire process from automatic bean grinding to coffee output, realizing efficient and convenient coffee making. Convenient and simple with one-touch coffee operation, favored by many customers. Suitable for homes, offices, commercial buildings, 4S stores, convenience stores, restaurants, bars, and other places.
