- Melitta have been sending me their products for a while and I’ve become somewhat of an ambassador, because what I like about this German brand is that it’s really affordable for coffee lovers who are interested in making coffee at home. Their products are generally not over complicated or fancy but the output is consistently good and I think thats really important. I show you a lot of luxury products too (many sold in my web shop) but I want people not to feel intimidated by the sometimes ‘exclusivity’ of the specialty coffee industry.
Good coffee should be available for everyone to enjoy and it doesn’t need to be made on something super expensive of fancy. But there is a time and a place for everything!
I digress….
Melitta sent me this Avanza bean to cup home espresso machine head of it’s release date at the time I filmed this video. But the good news is that now it’s on the market! If you’re looking for something compact, convenient, easy to use and consistent then this may be a really good option for you, especially if you are a small office or studio who might make 2-8 coffees a day. Lets take a look....

I found a trick this morning to reduce the amount of foam the machine produces in the first place, which is to put your finger over the air hole in the top of the cappucinatore for most of the time it is running, depending how much foam you want. If it can't draw in air it doesn't foam the milk, just warms it up.
That tip to scoop the foam and still get latte art is amazing. All other reviews of panarello machines just say you can’t do it!
Hi, I have just ordered this machine and want to thank you for a wonderfully informative introduction to the machine.
you're welcome. :)
Just bought one of these machines thanks for the vid! 😃
Awesome! Enjoy!!!
Super useful video. I bought this machine based mostly off this!
The "hack" of using clean water to flush out the milk tube is actually standard recommended practice as per the manual ;-) Nice summary though. The idea of simply scooping off the excess milk foam is such a simple one and yet I hadn't thought of it myself! It does pump a bit too much air in and is a shame it doesn't seem made to really allow "manual" milk steaming for more control of this.
Yeah I don’t read the manual on new products I use so I can really get the feel for How easy or intuitive it feels. But now that you say it I guess how else would you clean it 😅😆 yeah try scooping milk. 🙌🏼
@@thegirlinthecafetv5453 Yeah I heard you say that in the video which is why I thought it was quite amusing that I spotted something you had obviously missed from it :-) Except that you didn't really miss anything, because you thought of it intuitively yourself!
I like the approach of not reading the manual too, I only do it in case there happens to be anything non-obvious that I wouldn't figure out for myself, or for any long-term maintenance tips that can help things stay running optimally, but they're always so verbose and the actual nuggets of genuinely useful non-obvious information are so few and far between, and this one was no different!
Hi! Great video! It’s quite old but I hope u are still
Doing more great vids! Question please: can I use light roast coffees in this Avanza? If yes, any grinder adjustment necessary? Thank u 🙏🏽
How fine do people grind on this, I am currently around the middle but it goes pale quite quite when making. Manual says that really fine can block up the machine
I've just found this channel..... stumbled over it actually, while trying to up-my-game at home with a V60 drip set-up, and now looking at adding a Sage Bambino (for the fixed temp/pressure & great steam).
I'm not a barista and I don't want to fill the entire kitchen with coffee kit.... but I am addicted to the stuff.
What I really need to know, is how to find out/what to look for....and how to judge the crushingly enormous choice of coffee beans....😳🤯
It's a bit hit & miss for me. Quite frustrating..... fiddling with the grind on beans that I probably should give up on.
I think getting that 'right' would actually be the biggest gain: Finding 3 or 4 beans that I really like.
Great advise on this btw 👍🏻
You definitely need more subs; you're very watchable 😊
Welcome! And merry Christmas!
Thank you so much! You've got it. Find some beans you enjoy. Can I ask where you live? Maybe I can suggest or have contacts there to help you.
@@thegirlinthecafetv5453 Thanks you & merry Christmas to you too 🎄
I'm in Kensal Rise. West London 🙂
Perfect. Do you follow me on IG? I often suggest great London /UK roasters you can try. Also I sell my own coffee beans through my website that are delicious and easy to use - specialty, roasted by one of the best roasters I know so there's that! 🔥🎉 @the_girl_in_the_cafe 🎄☕
@@thegirlinthecafetv5453 Brilliant. Thanks !
Are we really both talking about coffee on the internet on Christmas Day ?😳🤓😂
I'm not on IG.
But I have been looking at your website and I'll definitely get some beans 👍🏻
You also sell a grinder I was thinking about getting... the Hario V60, for us V60 drinkers 🙄
Been looking for a grinder with more than 3 or 4 settings for pour-over. This looks perfect for my heavy(ish) home use ☕️☕️☕️☕️
I'll email you through your site and we can sort it all out.
Thanks again Celeste.
Hope you have a really nice Boxing Day 🎁
Can you please show us how the milk frother operates? I am struggling with it and I find it hard to make a coffee
Is manual milk steaming is possible with the frother
Hi, thanks for review. I have one question how many Espresso cup can be done without any clean or adding a water ?
hello. Is the bean hopper removable? I like the idea of this machine but start my day with caffinated then go to swiss water decaf, but can't afford the dual bean machines so was wondering if the hopper was easily removable so I could get a spare and change between the two? thank you
Unfortunately it probably wont be convenient for what you want to do. But the Melitta TS smart does have two different compartments in the hopper whereyou could put two different kinds of beans in the hopper. See what i mean here: czcams.com/video/E1jzXHWx8i8/video.html
@@thegirlinthecafetv5453 thanks. I thought that might be the case! Budget doesn't extend to the Melitta TS smart 😞
@@inverleithinteriors1396 😞 hopefully one day! Look out for sales 🤞🏾
I just got this machine and I think it's not workig properly... it drops quite a bit of water in the drip tray and the used grounds are just loose and wet, they're not compacted at all like in this video. Has anyone else had this issue?
is it completely silent grinding or just low-level noise?
So, what's the best in this price range?
It would have been helpful if you would have given an opinion about the teast of the coffee you made with the machine
it is weird, that she says the tste is the most important with those reviews and at the same time she ommits it complately in the review... so yeah...
Totally agree. Im just about to buy Melitta purista which is similar but I dont know how it taste like.
It's a pity you're talking how much important is the taste of coffee, but at the same time don't say a single word how good the coffee made by this Melitta is :(
This is what I mean.
@@thegirlinthecafetv5453 so the taste of this Malita Avanza is just without comment... is that right?
@@ArturZygmunt ah yes. Of course. Sorry thought that was implied. It's as good as the coffee you put in is but also obviously the coffee comes out consistent and has good extraction. 👌
Hi, Id like to ask, how do you like this Avanza 600 compared to the Melitta barista TS smart ? There is a significant difference in price, however how about the quality? Thanks!
Oooh. Well. In using both, you can definitely notice the technology advances in the barista TS smart comparatively. They do similar things but I feel that the TS smart is more advanced in its features for example one of the things I love about the TS smart is that it has two besn chambers which you don't find in many bean to cup machines. Usually there's only one. So you can choose different beans. You personalise coffee by names of people in your household and program to the ml how they like it. Eg: under my name I have programmed a long black which is made with a 80ml hot water and a 30ml espresso. So as you can see it's a technology thing but also an aesthetic thing too. The materials are different too. Also some people don't like touch screen. I like the buttons of the avanza. It's simple and easy, convenience. Ultimately it's up to you. I hope that helps!
