Blendtec Stealth (type Q) Review

Blendtec type Q Series that I have at home is still carrying out its duties without ever complaining. Unfortunately not equipped with a cover or closure, so that his voice grew louder especially when grind ice cubes. Commercial grade blender is certainly my best care especially the rubber at the bottom of the container are vulnerable when exposed to water. But when trying a new type Blendtec dubbed "Stealth" and the corresponding voiced more subtle meaning, I have to resist the temptation to have enormous. In addition melodious voice, Stealth has a kitchen runway twice that of the Q Series I have.

Sound and Speed

During this blender users as Blentec must choose between speed at the expense of noise generated when the engine is operating. Now no longer, you can get a blender that works with maximum speed without having to issue a noise, Stealth.

Blendtec blender is known as a commercial grade at a price that is certainly much higher than similar tools for household equipment specifications, the basic principle of a commercial equipment must have been designed for use with high intensity and shorter working time.

For Blender, Blendtec brand of course, already familiar with the destruction of the attractions of golf balls, iPhone and other strange objects that demonstration you can find on Youtube. But with a demo like this Blendtec managed to pack a lot of performances that attract viewers and catapulted him as a very popular commercial blender.

Design and Menu

The size is 44cm wide and rises 22 cm and weighing about 6 kg. Power cable is compatible with the system in Indonesia, namely using two pins. To power 1,800 watts of electrical outlets should not be combined with other equipment.

Cover or closure can be opened up to almost perpendicular to the easy to insert and remove the container. The cover has been designed to reduce the noise generated when the engine is operating.

On the panel there are symbols on / off, manual and automatic and stop. When tested the touch screen is very sensitive, so do not suppress excessive bullet.

White lights will light illuminating the panel and certainly very useful for those who work under limited light.

Do not move it, because a thin anti-slip pads made it difficult to be moved by nudging. Quite a way to be appointed as anti-slip coating on the bottom has been designed to create a sturdy stand Blentex withstand continuous vibration.

Trying "Stealth Menu"

After connecting to the mains I press the power button on the left and at the bottom there are two circles on the bottom, which means that we can choose the top by sliding the panel with a finger and automatically shows the intensity of the motor speed of the numbers 1 through 7. Or the bottom with 6 standard menu that has been provided by Blentec. From the start milkshakes, granita, ice cappuccino, small smoothies, frozen fruit's and much more.

But okay to feature a menu that will be made specifically circuitry utilizes a USB socket located on the right side (not visible in the photo).

The most important part for me is the noise factor which greatly benefits highlighted by Blendtec. I prepare the noise measuring device after entering diameter 2.5 cm chunks of ice from the freezer.

Once the cover is installed and prepare my feet tapping noise figure 6. The sound produced on the mode and in a state of closure is attached unmoved at number 8o's. Blendtec usually issued rumbling especially when destroying chunks of ice, but the noise seemed lost for the lid is attached to the meeting. What if the lid is opened? The surge began to jump up to a maximum decibels to 100 decibels.

But of course because of the environment to try Bledtec not in the lab, do not regard me as a formal referral experiment. But still I consider innovation Blendtec with type Stealth makes you get both, speed and sound that is much more subtle.

When the price of about $2000 included in the budget you, a commercial blender tool will be a long term investment for the coffee shop business, smoothies, and drinks that require power tools such as Blendtec.

Thank you Mr. Wahid for the content :D

Sorry for bad english

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.

Bella: Capsule Coffee Machine

What is the most enjoyable of a coffee capsule? For me and probably also for the many fans of coffee served with a capsule is the speed and consistency of flavor. Because not every coffee enthusiast wishing to engage directly with the necessary technical kebaristaaan special training and expertise. Not to mention a matter of time to be prepared following the accounting for investments in equipment are relatively more expensive. This is where the coffee machine by using a capsule system comes with all sorts of conveniences offered and a choice of coffee that you like.

MAP , a coffee machine and capsules company based in Melbourne, Australia now has a presence in Indonesia and introduce the beautiful Bella, serving automatic coffee machine with capsules distributed by MAP Coffee Indonesia

Currently there are only three types of flavors namely Portofino, and Venice, of course, with a sense of the diversity of arabica and robusta coffee mix, as well as the "Milano" which consists only of coffee arabica coffee blended from Brazil, Ethiopia, Guatemala, and Colombia, one of my favorites.

Each capsule is filled by 8 grams of coffee comes with two filter system at the top and bottom with small holes all over the surface to ensure a more even saturation.

Operate Bella is very practical, just need to fill the water tank with a maximum capacity of 1.2 liters. Turn on the machine with the power button on the bottom left and only in the range of one minute only Bella is ready for use.

Capsule in the input at the top by using a lever that is pulled back to open the compartment and replace the cover. Just choose the type you want to enjoy coffee, espresso, long black, or coffee filter on the three buttons on the front panel.

The finished capsules used will automatically fall into the container under the remainder of the excess water including the drip tray.

One again, maybe just the engine Bella among other capsule systems dilengkapai with descalling facilities for descaling the water on the inside of the machine. A useful feature after long-term use.

Thanks, cikopi.

Bonavita Digital Scale BV 2000SCT Review

How many of you have digital scales at home as a supplement to brew coffee?It could be for the geek I expect more than one. But if you do not yet have or do not intend to buy it, I am weighing device termed in Arabic as al-her-a criterion,distinguishing coffee brewed with the "right" and "quite right". This timeBonavita manufacturers that one of its products known as electric kettle equipped with a temperature regulator also issued digital scales with type BV 2000 SCT.

Bonavita teapot still I use and so far without any problems, and hope that the same will be a durable product that I want also from their digital scales.

You certainly understand if pique use of scales at the time of settling within the range of seconds remaining, suddenly the numbers listed disappeared without saying goodbye. Dead. At least things were disappointing as above need not occur at Bonavita, the first thing I usually want to know regardless of some functions stadardnya.

Opens Bonavita in the boxes should be a little careful because digital scales are equipped with a layer of clear glass with a thickness of about 5mm at the top as a weight-bearing. Wrapped by steel weighing nearly one thousand kilograms or 900 grams to be exact and a maximum load capacity weighing 3 kilograms. The size is 15 cm long, 22.5 cm wide and 7 cm high (without drip tray), Otten Coffeefor sale at 1.3 million.

A drip tray is included in the package that can be superimposed on top of the glass so that no water splashes widened everywhere, although Bonavita stating that the appliance water resistant or waterproof. This placemat is actually used for specific dripper designed a package with these scales, but sold separately.

In addition, an adapter that can be connected to a power source, Bonavita also comes with three AAA size batteries are located on the back. So you can easily carry anywhere supply of electricity by using the battery is much more practical.

I tried using the Chemex Bonavita size 10 cup or the biggest with a diameter below 13 cm. Without using a drip tray, glass pedestal Bonavita was still left a little space after occupied by Chemex.

Function keys for on / off, timer, tare, and the conversion of three sizes of gram(mode), the pound, and pressed as necessary and sufficient oz blue light illuminates the display easier to read and specially coated to protect from splashes of water. It takes about 3 seconds when first turned on and ready for use Bonavita. Accuracy up to the first decimal place, more than enough to brew coffee.

The timer function can pause, then press it again to resume the calculation or press a little more natural to return it to the number "0". Moving the numbers in the display in accordance with changes in load and still function in a state scales allowed to stand for a few minutes. For the record, there is no function"auto shut off" until you have to turn off this device when it's own use.

In contrast to Acaia can utilize Wireless networks and some tweaks, digital scales Bonavita just ordinary, but if you just want the basic functions of a scale for the following coffee brewing timer, Bonavita can be entered into the virtual basket even though cost over a million more.
