Description
Kaffio Barista 7 grinds, tamps and brews at the touch of a picture on the screen, for a proper espresso or latte before work with no portafilter to learn. The steel burr grinder sits under the bean hopper, the 12 presets cover everything from a ristretto to a long coffee, and the frother on the side heats and foams milk for cappuccinos and lattes.
We ran one in our test kitchen for a month, three to five drinks a day. From cold it was ready in 45 seconds, including its rinse, and a latte took 1 minute 20 seconds from button to cup. Shot times stayed within two seconds of each other all month, which is what an automatic is for. How it compares with a manual machine is in our espresso comparison.
Getting the taste right
- Start in the middle of the 13 grind settings and go one step finer if the espresso runs thin
- Fresh medium or dark roasts work best; oily, very dark beans can clog the grinder
- Save your adjusted strength and volume to a preset so the next cup comes out the same
Daily and weekly care
- Empty the grounds drawer and the drip tray every day, about two minutes
- Rinse the frother when the machine asks after a milk drink; it takes ten seconds
- Rinse the brew unit under the tap once a week, and descale when the screen asks, every two to three months
Worth knowing
The hopper on top adds height, so measure under your wall cabinets and leave a few inches to lift the lid. It draws a lot of power while heating; with the Domio Air 6 on the same 15-amp kitchen circuit it can trip the breaker, so use separate circuits if you can.
