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

Quamar M80 Review

I always likened it like a coffee grinder in the world of audio speakers. So central role in the overall quality speakers hifi system or high-end, so it is always advisable to first buy these speakers before the amplifier. So it is with a grinder that same position with the speakers. Buy a grinder, with the best quality according to the available budget, choosing a new espresso machine, not the reverse. So, as good speakers that will reproduce sounds as if the singer is in front of you, a coffee grinder to produce a "grind size" consistent, an important parameter to generate maximum extraction in an espresso machine.

For matters grinder, big name Mazzer may be the first choice of the most widely recommended. Commonplace, because Mazzer has proven itself as a manufacturer whose products have durability and quality, as I have no doubt that like the Mazzer Kony with its grinding blade system that uses a conical, one of the best grinder I've ever used.

Of course the price Mazzer relatively high makes a lot of other manufacturers trying to deliver a product choice that is not less attractive and certainly the quality of competing. One of them is a company based in the small town of Treviso in northern Italy, which is also the tiramissu originated. in addition to the company's central Quamar Srl. Quamar name may still not widely known in Indonesia, besides the product is still not officially available in Indonesia, but is expected in soon time.

Specifications are most important in a burr or blade grinder andQuamar M80 system complete with a diameter of 63mm flat burr, moderate size that is not too much different from the brand grinder I've ever written as Macap MX using burr size 65mm, Compak K6 , Hey Cafe, and Anfim Caimano with a diameter of 64mm.

Quamar M80 is equipped with a propulsion motor that will rotate the blade as much as 1600 RPM and consuming 330 watts of power. 52cm high as coffee container volume 1.2 kilograms in America though they offer an option for a smaller bean hopper. Body- was made ​​of aluminum with a total weight of 10.5 kilograms.

Grind Adjustment: Using the step adjustment system, is easy to use with the gearshift on a predetermined position while pressing the black button. Small Tomobol is equipped with a spring or spring which unfortunately the quality is not too good, so it's time I replace it with a more sturdy material.

Doser. Means that the container has been milled coffee container with a capacity of 280 grams. Users can adjust the amount of coffee at the time of dosing remove by turning the knob as shown in the photo at the bottom. Inside there is a wire iron dozer to clean the doser of coffee is still attached on the outskirts of the container due to static electricity. Chute comes with a protective finger to anyone not insert fingers idly when the grinder is in operation.

Fork portafilter. Exactly located at the bottom of the doser as a place where the user can put the portafilter while doing dosing. The distance is quite close, but not blocking the view to see the amount of coffee that is released into theportafilter.

Power Switch. At the bottom right there are two power switches on and off for positions which unfortunately is not equipped with a timer or a timer.

Using Quamar M80. Grinder I had the opportunity to use this for a few weeks and as long as it is quite satisfied with the ability Quamar. System "step adjustment" which is equipped with a number making Quamar M80 is easy to use in arranging the fineness of coffee. As we know the grinder setting to look for an appropriate smoothness need a little patience especially on the milling tool "stepless", but fortunately Quamar using step system, suitable for me who occasionally want fast paced.

Another thing that makes me please Quamar is when dosing, mechanism able to sweep his star doser coffee to clean, almost without rest which makes the process much easier to clean.

For nearly a month when I was using the M80 Quamar although the frequency is not too high, and as long as there has been no significant complaints. If anything, I want her hopper- bean is constrained to be sitting pretty in my kitchen cabinet that is not too high. But the manufacturer has promised that the M80 is a product for a commercial espresso machine to be used for forced labor in the cafe.

Cover. Certainly there is no best grinder with various fittings that you want, but at least it meets the criteria Quamar coffee grinder very worthy of consideration. With a price range of 8-10 millions (hopefully I'm not mistaken), Quamar M80 will soon enliven the market of coffee grinders in Indonesia in time soon.
