PROMAC Club Me

The physical view aka appearance of Promac espresso machine: product type Club Me no need to bandage the shiny steel material, enough to form a box without excessive curves that show the beauty of the overall appearance as the production engine boutique brand.Although his name is rarely heard, but I've been long enough to hear his name and I will introduce it to the reader as a comparison with some of the machines that I've previously wrote.

PROMAC

The maker of PROMAC , of the Pro (professional) Mac (machine) has been established since more than 30 years ago in the city of Milano, Italy countries with major products espresso machine, coffee grinder, or grinder, to filter water ice maker. The machine that I show are the "Club Me" on some models they provide. PROMAC Club Me is one of the entry-level product for personal or coffee shop for entrepreneurs.

My colleague who opened one of the cafe in Jakarta has a machine PROMAC of the same type for many years without any significant complaints. With Invoice bill for 22 million rupiahs, this machine can be used as a reflection for your coffee shop business motors.

Specification and Design

Operational heart PROMAC located on the boiler with a capacity of 4 litres which will consume power from the heating element 1700. Inside the boiler there is a small pipe that distributes water straight to the group head or a known system with heat exchanger. Actually I don't really give a shit about the heating part.

The net weight is 34 pounds with dimensions of 38 x 53 x 56 cm, slightly larger when compared to Vibiemme Domobar. Carrying the automated system, but can also be operated manually regulated through the bearing cup and the star button on the front panel.

There is only one indicator or manometer to indicate the pressure in the boiler, without the presence of features brew pressure. Additionally PROMAC equipped with one lever to the right of the steam, and hot water on the left. For boilers with a size of 4 liters I suggest not too often functioning hot water button that will make the pressure and temperature of the water in the boiler down quickly.

Using PROMAC

Need two people to lift the machine into the cage where I usually play around with the espresso machine. Pump connection Nochi paired with a pipe to siphon water from the gallon into the boiler and after everything is installed neatly, the engine is started by pressing the bottom button of the two buttons.

As the system of Vibiemme, PROMAC using dual switch for boiler filled with water before the second or the heater is turned on. This is a safety feature to prevent damage that often occurs in the heating element, which will be instantly killed with immediate success when working without a water supply.

Heating 15 minutes

Water is only less than one minute before it meets the boiler because this machine has come in a state of almost full boiler. The second key is turned to the green marker lights are on, and the heater started working.

Over less than 15 minutes the machine is ready for use when the indicator needle touched the figure is 0.8 bar and reluctant to rise again. The water temperature when tested with a thermometer showed 94 degrees Celsiusfigure. If it is small enough numbers, you can set the boiler pressure by opening a panel at the top for access to the components' pressure stats "are marked with a small yellow cover. Staying turn toward the sign (+) to increase the pressure in the boiler and the opposite (-) to decrease again.

PROMAC + Mazzer + brew!

Without the pair coffee grinder tool, PROMAC or any expensive espresso machine (except the super automatic) difficult to work optimally. You can see my article on the grinder in the other pages and some of them have me recommend to an arranged marriage with an espresso machine.

This time I was paired with a Mazzer Super Joly, a brand that has no need lengthy explanations on reliability "destroy" the coffee beans into powder with enough uniformity evenly despite always throwing coffee doser system to the left when operated,

Portafilter or coffee place to put a standard 58mm diameter, a size that is most widely used. I tried portafilter from Vibiemme is also not rejected by PROMAC

Mazzer does require a bit of patience because the business needs to rotate many times its size to produce a grind size that fits. The system allows steplessdisplacement subtlety done little by little, but if successful, the result will be satisfactory.

Volumetric system can be operated by pressing a program that has been provided plainly to extract and press the "single" or double "as needed. Subsequent Shot just press one button and the user is able to perform other tasks such as milk Froth brewing process will stop according to the time that has been set.

Lever steam for frothing milk can be rotated until we can find the right position.Size 300 ml jug which only takes less than 10 seconds and milk ready to be poured. Although the lever is not protected by anti-heat, but the protective rubber can be used to avoid the hot temperatures that often greet somehow my hand accidentally,

Closing

PROMAC may be one that is convenient to use the machine without any significant complaints even though I've tried a half daily. Regardless of the design and shape are a little stiff and unpretentious, this machine is interesting to be included as one of the options of your spending plan. Price range 22 million placing it in the ranks of applying HX machine that I've pillowcase, but with more competitive prices.

Durability problems every mensin course depending on how users perform routine maintenance. Components are vulnerable to damage such as gaskets,shower screen, due to the blockage of pipes and boiler water scale is a common problem found in an espresso machine. In the touch panel, the pressure will also lead to overzealous wear sensor must be replaced by a block components.

But that does not mean can not be minimized, perform routine backflush, clean the dirt in the group head, shower screen with a special chemical fluid will extend the life of your espresso machine, any brand and PROMAC one of them.
