The coffee taste, aroma and richness loved by the owner will be respected by different models of coffee machines. But the demands are growing. A home barista should be close at hand and not take up extra space. Moreover, it must be in harmony with the environment. Built-in devices meet these requirements.
The special design of the coffee maker allows it to be placed inside kitchen furniture. The kitchen cabinet niche must be the same dimensions as the coffee maker, and a special frame for embedding can be included in the kit or purchased separately.
Built-in coffee makers are able to perfectly fit into the interior of a modern kitchen. Only a few manufacturers produce embedded models, so their choice is very limited.
Features and characteristics
Usually professional coffee machines can be connected to the water supply requiring great performance. Built-in units must provide maximum service through the front panel. Therefore, it is better to supply water from the pipeline.
To use tap water directly, a prerequisite is the availability of replaceable or permanent filters to purify it from various impurities. However, such devices usually have an additional water reservoir.
It differs from a conventional coffee maker in appearance by the fact that the places where the cups are installed are recessed into the body. You have to take the cup not from the protruding stand, but from the niche. Otherwise, the design does not affect the variety of functions and complexity of the software.
Like the process of preparing a drink, in these models, the cleaning process is also as automated as possible. Before and after turning on the device, the automatic tube rinsing function starts. In addition, there are functions automatic self-cleaning and rinsing of the system, self-diagnostics, programming for water hardness and switch-on and switch-off times.
Special indicators will signal when the compartment for coffee beans and fresh water is full, the water sump needs to be emptied, the descaling program needs to be started. Almost all removable parts are dishwasher safe.
Fast steam
The presence of the "fast steam" system in the coffee maker allows you to switch from espresso to cappuccino in seconds. This is achieved due to the fact that the boiler of the coffee maker is able to produce steam almost instantly.
Dispensing hot water
Most espresso machines contain heated water in a separate container, which you can use to make tea, for example. Water supply is carried out from a separate tap or from a steam outlet(in this case, it can be switched between the "Steam" and "Hot water" mode). Water, as a rule, is supplied with a temperature of +90 ° С; in some cases, it can be adjusted.
Grinding adjustment
The grinding degree affects the time it takes for the required amount of water (35 ± 5 ml for a shot of espresso) to pass through the formed coffee tablet. The ideal time is 25 ± 3 seconds.
If the grind is very coarse, the water runs too quickly and the coffee is weak and sour. On the other hand, grinding the coffee too finely will lengthen the brewing time and the coffee may acquire a burnt taste.
The required grind depends on the type of beans, the degree of roasting, humidity and ambient temperature. In combination with pre-wetting, the result is consistently high.
Programming
All coffee machines with a display have a programming function that allows you to:
- Set the filling volume for different cups with different drinks: espresso, americano, lungo coffee. On super-automatic coffee machines, you can select the desired amount of coffee and milk froth for cappuccino and latte macchiato.
- Select the temperature of the coffee to be brewed.
- Carry out an automatic daily rinse when the coffee machine is switched on.
- Activate the function of grinding for the next cup, necessary for continuous preparation of large quantities of coffee, and others.
The presence of a display and a programming system in many cases allows you to save the coffee machine from significant errors during operation.

Possibility to use ground coffee
The main advantage of coffee machines operating on coffee beans Is a fresh grind for every espresso cup. But coffee better retains its positive properties in the grain form, and after grinding it begins to quickly lose its aroma, and everything that we value in coffee. Therefore, the use of ground coffee has a limited circle of admirers among the owners of coffee machines.
The coffee machines are equipped with two types of millstones - steel and ceramic. Coffee machines with ceramic burrs run quieter. However, steel millstones are more resistant to mechanical stress, require debugging much less often, and are easier to maintain. For loads of more than 300 servings of coffee per month, it is better to choose coffee machines with steel grinders.
“Ceramics” is used primarily at home or in reception areas with low coffee consumption.
Dull millstones lead to an increase in grinding time, coffee beans overheat, aroma is burnt out, coffee is bitter and empty in taste. The frequency of replacing the millstones depends on the hardness of the grain used (preparation from 5 to 15 thousand portions).

With this review, I want to start a cycle of tests of various devices for coffee machines, which can expand the functionality of even a budget model, endowing it with the capabilities of premium coffee machines. The first such device in line is the Aqualey system for connecting coffee machines to the water supply system. It is produced by a company from St. Petersburg (import substitution on the march!), Which kindly provided me with a sample for testing.
To begin with, connecting to the water supply is the prerogative of either commercial models (for example, or), or very expensive and rare home ones (this is usually typical). Russian reality, of course, is making adjustments. This is the homeland of most coffee machines - in Italy - almost San Pellegrino flows from the tap, and in our country it is better to connect to the water supply after the household filter under the sink or directly to the cooler.
But if you want to teach your inexpensive coffee machine to fill with water on its own, then there is nothing impossible. Here is such a simple set, it contains everything you need to connect almost any model (with the exception of some instances with closed access to the tank) to a household filter and make it almost autonomous:
The principle, of course, cannot be called innovative - any person with an engineering education, if given time, can assemble a similar eyeliner by choosing the necessary parts. In the case of Aqualey, the manufacturer has already done this for you, having developed a universal set for most coffee machines.
Aqualey is essentially a system of fittings and pipes that can be gently routed from the filters under the sink to your coffee machine. Plus the main element and "know-how" - a float valve with fastening, regulating the inclusion and shutdown of the water supply. An additional tap is optionally installed to turn off the water supply for more peace of mind during a long absence or in case of cleaning the coffee machine. Also included are stickers to facilitate fastening:
All materials are selected conscientiously, the manufacturer assures (and this is confirmed by the marking on the spare parts) that the fittings - pipes, faucet and fittings (adapters) - are produced by the British company John Guest in the UK.
However, enough to consider, let's collect. I connected Melitta Caffeo Varianza to the water supply and this is how it looked:
I start using fittings and a knife to assemble the required tube configuration. This stage requires care! First, I try everything on. Before starting the process, I recommend straightening all the segments of the tubes (since they come twisted, they have a slight curvature when unpacking). At the first stage, I try on without cutting for a complete tap (with a blue valve). At the last stage, I will simply embed it in a suitable segment, having precisely understood the future wiring from the car under the countertop and then to the filter under the sink.
At this moment, I decide to slightly change the location of the coffee machine on the table and hang Aqualey on the back wall of the tank. In addition, after carefully reading the instructions again, I conclude that I initially forgot to cut out the corner of the round white sticker to fix the fasteners, and glued it strictly opposite the long white bolt. In fact, you need to make a small corner cutout and glue the resulting semicircle "above" the bolt. In this case, the sticker acts as a stop-spacer between the supply pipe and the fastening bolt (see photo below):
Now I finally fix the mount on the tank wall. For better vertical fixation, as indicated in the instructions, I made a corner cutout in the sticker and positioned it in the girth of the bolt.
I bring the Aqualey hose under the countertop to the filter. I carefully cut the blue hose that went from the filter to the tap at the sink and connect all three inlets in a complete tee.
This is what the mounted Aqualey system looks like in my case. I decided to place the tap that shut off the water supply to the coffee machine on the side of it, so that it was at hand and there was no need to climb under the sink. But, in principle, you can choose any other place for its insertion.
Now the coffee machine can be pushed deeper under the wall cabinet - there is no more need to take out the water tank. You just need to leave enough space to easily fill up the grains.
Nuances
Like any potential client, I am primarily concerned about two questions - how reliable is the Aqualey system ( in other words, will the float "glitch" and will it flood the whole kitchen for me?) and how the warranty repair departments look at the use of such a system ( Will they refuse to repair my coffee grinder, for example, if I use Aqualey?). Let's figure it out in order:
- Reliability and protection against leaks. Here I must admit that I did not do a long test, but honestly for a couple of days I tried to make sure that the float valve "stuck": I turned it this way and that, turned off and on the water, used warm water, turned on the coffee machine so that it vibrated ... But the valve stubbornly worked at the right moment. In general, the structure looks quite reliable in the new state. There are no complaints about the pipes and connections themselves - they really inspire confidence, although I am not a plumber.
Nevertheless, when using the Aqualey system in the office, for peace of mind, I would turn off the water supply to the coffee machine with a special tap at night. I repeat, it is included in the kit.
2. As for the warranty, then after polling several service centers, I came to the conclusion that they do not have a single position on the question of whether a coffee machine modernized in this way is a warranty or not. Certainly, connecting Aqualey to a coffee machine by means of a tie-in may be a reason for refusing a guarantee (but it may not be). But the supply of water directly from above to the tank can hardly affect the warranty repair. After all, the service center simply does not know that you connected their coffee machine to the water supply, there will be no traces on the machine except for a couple of stickers.
3. Plus, of course, compatibility issue... The system is easy to integrate into coffee machines with top access to the water tank. Moreover, since the diameter of the tube and the dimensions of the other elements are relatively small, the aesthetically pleasing appearance suffers little, the system looks quite solid. But if the water tank slides out from the front or side, then a sidebar will be needed. This involves drilling a small hole with a diameter of 7-8 mm in the body of the coffee machine and in the tank itself. The manufacturer showed me several examples of such an implementation, below are a couple of photos. You can find out the exact information on whether Aqualey is suitable for your particular model on the manufacturer's website or on the hotline. The manufacturer also promises to help with all installation questions in your case.
An example of an implementation with a tank insert: Aqual in Saeco Aulika Top
But personally, I cannot say that I would immediately decide on a cut-in installation. All the same, the case deteriorates.
Aqualey review verdict
Without hiding the fact that this review is being printed, which is called "for advertising rights", I hasten to assure that I took the product for a test with the condition "if you don't like it, I will not review it." Well, as you can see, I completely overcame my skepticism 🙂
By the way, at first it seemed to me that such a device for connecting coffee machines to a water supply system would be relevant only in offices. However, after interviewing a dozen friends, it turned out that many of them are ready to consider this system for home use. My guesses were also confirmed by the manufacturer Aqualeya, who claims that more than 50% of orders come from home connections.
Indeed, in addition to the main functionality - automatic tank replenishment - Aqualey can significantly reduce the space occupied by a coffee machine, which is important just in home kitchens.
On the one hand, if the tank is taken from above, then this requires space above the coffee machine. When installing Aqualeya, there is no need for it. But not really, the grains must be filled up.
The feint is different. Applying the system, you are decoupled from the volume of the water tank. That is, even if there are 10 consumers, you do not need to take a coffee machine with a large water tank and you can limit yourself to at least a liter! Examples right off the bat: the same Melitta Varianza, several other models of Melitta,.
And finally, the financial aspect - many are considering the option of buying built-in coffee machines just because of their autonomy. But in the end, they refuse such an acquisition - built-in appliances are very expensive. And with the Aqualey, you can get almost all the benefits of flush-mounted installation at no significant cost.
The Aqualey kit for connecting a coffee machine to a water supply system or a filter can be bought on the official website of the product - http://aqualey.ru/. In the homeland of the device - in St. Petersburg - you can also order the installation of a turnkey system. You can ask your questions about use and installation in the comments under this review, the manufacturer's representative will answer them.
Date of publication: 31/08/2016. Your opinion is important to me. Please rate the material:With the option of connecting the coffee machine to the water supply, you do not need to regularly add water to the boiler. Preparing your favorite drinks is much easier, faster and more convenient!
Today, coffee machines are installed in almost all large offices. They regularly help out employees who are “burning” at work. A cup of good, strong coffee drives away sleep, helps you concentrate on the task and successfully complete the project you have started. The device is appropriate not only in the office kitchen, but also in the reception area. Freshly brewed invigorating drink brightens up the anticipation of visitors.
In order for the coffee machine to function properly, it must be properly cared for. You need to regularly clean the equipment, throw away waste and, of course, do not forget to add water to the boilers. These tasks take a lot of time, which office workers do not always have enough time. Therefore, modern manufacturers of coffee makers are trying to do everything possible to make the life of users as easy as possible. One of the useful and practical inventions is a coffee machine with a water connection.
How does the equipment work?
A coffee machine with a water connection takes the required amount of water on its own. There is no need for users to monitor the water level and to refill the water container regularly. The coffee machine saves time, provides continuous heating and is always ready to use. It is ideal for places with high coffee consumption. Suitable not only for large offices, but also for cafes, bars, restaurants and other establishments with high traffic.
Range

Attention! There are fakes and goods on the market without a guarantee
Dear customers, on the Internet you can often see products with the same pictures and models on other sites, but often much cheaper. This is almost always a "leftist" product imported illegally into the territory of the Russian Federation and does not have an official guarantee (except in the words of the sellers of such stores). In the event of a malfunction during the warranty, you will be denied a branded service, and in the store where such a product was purchased, under any pretext, they will send either a service or something else. Almost always, the warranty card is in Russian in such goods or in the form of a copier from the original, or is simply absent (only in foreign languages).
By purchasing fake or goods at significantly lower prices than from official large stores, you actually run the risk of being left 1 on 1 with expensive PAID repairs in the branded service, that is, you will pay again and, most importantly, be nervous about this issue.
By purchasing equipment from officials, for example, in our store, you get competent professional advice and genuine goods with a real guarantee and a coupon on special paper and in Russian.

No business meeting will take place without a cup of coffee. And what else can awaken and cheer you up? After all, a good mood of the interlocutor is the key to successful negotiations, and high-quality coffee is proof of the correct choice of a coffee machine.
First, let's try to formulate our expectations from this electronic "barista" (coffee master). First, the machine must make delicious coffee., that is, the technology should maximize the taste of coffee beans. Secondly, the coffee machine must be easy to use, so that it can be used by employees with no experience in the food industry. Thirdly, the office space should not turn into a kitchen, so it simply must be "clean".
These requirements are met by automatic coffee machines operating on grain and / or ground coffee.... And for greater ease of use, manufacturers have provided such a function as connection to stationary water supply... This saves users from the constant worry of water in the device and cleaning the waste container, since most models provide for connection to the sewer.
All these simple devices make the maintenance of the coffee machine minimal., and the apparatus always looks neat and clean, which increases the prestige of any office.
Benefits of automatic coffee machines
As a rule, vending machines operate on coffee beans. An automatic machine itself grinds the required amount of coffee beans before preparing each portion, compresses it into a special tablet, and then the water passing through it under pressure turns into coffee.
Automatic coffee machines for the office are designed to minimize the loss of working time for preparation and the necessary maintenance of equipment, while providing a wide range of high-quality coffee drinks for every taste: from a cup of espresso to a mug of Americano, prepared at the touch of a button.
The first thing you should pay attention to when choosing is its performance: the number of cups of coffee prepared in a certain period of time. A rough estimate of the workload will allow you to use the operating resource of the coffee machine wisely and avoid overpaying for a machine with excessively high performance.
In addition to performing the usual functions programming of taste preferences, the electronics of office coffee machines not only helps to keep track of the consumption of ingredients, but also controls the technical condition of the machine. All this helps to reduce the time spent on preparing drinks., and also minimizes the maintenance of equipment to a minimum of manipulations.
The design of office-class coffee machines often provides for the use of a coin or token receiver, cooking settings, and containers are protected from unauthorized access.
High-performance coffee machines are equipped with automatic cleaning and maintenance systems, protection against incorrect user actions and unauthorized access to settings. The use of two (sometimes more) coffee grinders for separate use of several varieties of beans has become a common practice of the creators of professional coffee automatic equipment.
Of the additional options, direct connection to the main water supply is possible, built-in refrigerating chamber (to maintain the milk temperature at the desired level), the presence of containers for bulk ingredients (milk powder or cocoa powder), synchronization of the machine with the cash register of the establishment to automate control.
As a rule, the possibilities of software settings are available both directly through the control panel of the coffee machine, and by connecting the coffee machine to a computer with a set of specialized software for management, service and control.
Water connection
The ability to connect to the water supply is a function that is equipped with expensive professional or semi-professional models of stationary coffee makers and n coffee machines. In such devices, there is no water reservoir; the required amount of water is taken from the water supply system automatically in accordance with the selected program.
Connecting the coffee machine to the water supply allows you to forget about filling the tank with water and removing coffee waste. This is especially true when installing the device in offices. However, it should be remembered that for using tap water directly, it is advisable to have a permanent or replaceable filter in order to avoid scale build-up on the heating elements of the machine and to increase the service life of the device.

Nuances when choosing
To decide on the choice of an automatic coffee machine for the office with the ability to connect to the water supply, it is worth paying attention to the following capabilities and characteristics of these machines:
- water tank volume(it should not be too large so that the water does not stagnate, and too small so that the pump pumping water from the water supply system does not work constantly),
- possibility of automatic cleaning of systems from coffee fat(this function greatly facilitates the use of the device in an office environment),
- system for adjusting the portion volume and strength of the drink,
- the ability to prepare two portions at the same time(this option greatly reduces the cooking time, which is important for the work team),
- machine performance and resource(it must match the actual consumption),
- when connected to a water supply, it is worth putting a filtration system, which will protect the machine from limescale and improve the taste of the drink (and, if the filter is included, will create additional protection, which will extend the life of the coffee machine).

Outcomes
Franke Flair coffee machine is extremely functional and attractive in appearance... However, it has a number of disadvantages that make it impossible to use the device at home. Firstly, it is a rather high cost of the machine. Secondly, there is a huge selection of settings that will be simply useless for an inexperienced user. Thirdly, these are rather large dimensions and weight.
For office use, the Franke Flair is suitable... For inexperienced users, the machine will be too complicated - it has a large number of beverage settings.
Franke Flair is ideal for commercial use. The enormous power of the machine, the large volume of tanks for water and waste, connection to the water supply and sewerage system, many automatic beverage preparation programs - all make it possible to use the model in a restaurant or cafe.
The staff will have enough dexterity to handle and care for the machine, since all processes are automatic. And the ability to connect additional modules will make working with the coffee machine a pleasure.

disadvantages
It is difficult to find flaws in such a modern and versatile machine. The only drawbacks of this device are the plastic case and the high price.
Video review
A brief presentation of this unit in the video below:
Instructions for cleaning the fresh milk container are presented in the video below:
Outcomes
The WMF 1500s is breathtaking with its many features and plug-ins and options. Any coffee-based drinks that you can imagine, the coffee machine is capable of preparing in automatic mode.
Self-rinsing and cleaning of the device, the ability to connect to the water supply, programming of individual settings and remote control - all this makes it possible to use the model both in catering establishments and to install it independently, as a stationary point of a mini-coffee house.
The model is not intended for home use at all... It is too complex, has a huge number of unnecessary functions for individual use. High power and considerable dimensions also will not allow installing the car in an apartment.
D For office use, the model can be viewed but only in a large enterprise, because the productivity of the apparatus is about 350 cups per day. For a smaller number of prepared drinks, you can choose a model that is simpler and much cheaper.
WMF 1200 S
WMF 1200 S - coffee machine, which is positioned by the manufacturer as a machine for establishments with medium or high traffic.
This means that the coffee machine must have a high enough performance to meet the needs of the customers. The WMF 1200 S is completely manufactured in Germany from high quality materials.
Each machine is tested internally and externally by experts before delivery. The high level of service (service centers in 70 countries), offered by the manufacturer, can also be a strong argument in favor of buying a device.
Functions
Coffee maker functions:
- preparation on the basis of ground or grain coffee;
- built-in coffee grinder;
- automatic decalcification;
- adjustment of the degree of grinding;
- adjustment of the portion of hot water;
- automatic whipping of milk foam;
- auto shutdown;
- dispensing hot water for preparing drinks (for example, tea);
- backlit display;
- energy saving mode;
- the possibility of direct connection to the water supply;
- the ability to program drinks;
- self-cleaning system;
- water level indication;
- inclusion indication;
- descaling system;
- simultaneous preparation of two cups;
- removable drip tray.
The power saving function in the device deserves special attention. With three eco-modes and settings for automatic shutdown, the customer can adjust their energy consumption according to their individual habits.
Also, when the WMF 1200 S is switched off, it no longer consumes electricity. The presence of this function in the machine takes the WMF 1200 S to a new level in comparison with other coffee machines in the same category.
Peculiarities
The manufacturer focused on the current issue - the issue of ecology. Reduced energy consumption, fewer chemicals and the ability to almost completely recycle waste are just a few of the features that distinguish WMF's sustainable work concept.
Such a concept could attract energy conservationists and nature activists. Depending on the requirements and the situation, the WMF 1200 S can be equipped with a water tank or a water connection.
The machine is equipped with a manual loading function. It is possible to use other types of coffee such as decaffeinated coffee using this function.
Also, when preparing drinks with milk foam, not only fresh milk can be used, but also powdered milk or toppings. The machine prepares cocoa, macchiato and shakiato.
Dignity
The advantages of a coffee maker include:
- the possibility of direct connection to the water supply;
- original design;
- environmental friendliness;
- a wide range of prepared drinks;
- high productivity of the device;
- ergonomic control system;
- the presence of an auto-off function;
- backlit display;
- the presence of the function of adjusting the strength of the drink at the exit;
- the ability to prepare two cups at the same time;
- availability of hot water supply (for making other drinks, for example, tea);
- automatic cappuccino maker.
An undoubted advantage is the descaling system... A filter cassette in the water tank or a WMF water filter connected to the main water line lengthens the intervals between the required inspections, improves the coffee taste and extends the service life of the coffee machine elements.
Full automatic cleaning at the push of a button saves time and costs... Not all devices of this class can be proud of this advantage.
The machine has a fairly ergonomic control system. All important functions and parameters can be configured using a two-line display and five function buttons.
Six buttons can be programmed for specialty coffees. Second level drinks are activated by double clicking on the button. The simple label format allows for custom design and easy replacement of button labels with beverage names, prices or images.
disadvantages
The disadvantages of the coffee machine include:
- lack of anti-drip system;
- plastic case;
- the inability to control the strength of coffee;
- lack of a timer;
- lack of a pressure gauge;
- lack of "fast steam" function;
- impossibility of pre-wetting coffee and heating cups.
Disadvantages of the coffee machine are relative and rather related to drawing an analogy with other machines in the same class.
The lack of functions for rapid steam and pre-wetting coffee may not affect the quality of the resulting drink.
The only significant drawback is the plastic case of the device.... In a metal version, the car would look more high-status and would correspond to its wide functionality outwardly.

Outcomes

FRANKE Pura Fresco is created for preparing coffee and other drinks for a large number of gourmets, FRANKE Pura Fresco fits best into a coffee shop or restaurant. Within the walls of the office, the wide options of the device will be cramped, but in the home kitchen such a unit is simply not needed. FRANKE Pura Fresco is definitely a mass-oriented machine.
WMF 1500s will be ideal for commercial use as a cafe or restaurant, and with the possibility of self-service. Not needed for home and office.
WMF 1200 S is well suited for coffee shops. Offices or beauty salons. At home, its functionality and targeting may not be entirely justified.
