The best coffee beans for your fully automatic machine

We recommend medium to dark roasted coffee blends with low acidity.

The selection of coffee beans from the best Arabica and Robusta beans with medium caffeine content and their balanced roasting are only 2 factors for an optimal taste experience.

In the meantime, many coffee roasters offer special blends or cuvees for fully automatic coffee machines. For orientation, one can state: Arabica coffee beans basically have a multi-layered and elegant taste, the Robusta beans taste rather full-bodied and strong. A good blending ratio and roasts of different lengths give the respective taste. A good example of successful roasts for your fully automatic coffee machine comes from Alps Coffee in South Tyrol. The blends each have the endings MATIC, such as Barmatic or Crematic. The traditional coffee roasting company is already in its 3rd generation and is continuously developing its product range to achieve the best result for the respective preparation method. Alps Coffees products are particularly characterized by their wholesomeness and balance.

There is a suitable machine for every fragrant lover. We recommend the  Stiftung Warentest comparison, where a total of 64 fully automatic coffee machines are compared in price and performance for a small fee.

The choice of your personal specialty coffee

Most fully automatic coffee machines allow you to select your favorite coffee at the touch of a button. This applies to both a good cup of coffee or as they say in Switzerland Café Crème or Schümli, the Italians call it Caffè Americano or Caffè Lungo.

Of course, you can also preselect all other coffee preparations or brewing programs in a fully automatic coffee machine, such as espresso, cappuccino, caffè latte or latte macchiato. It is important that the espresso coffee is roasted gently and for a long time. The best result is achieved by drum roasting followed by gentle air drying.

Milk foam from the coffee machine

Most fully automatic machines have a milk container that prepares a nice foam or just hot milk. The milk is either filled into a container beforehand or pumped directly from the milk carton or Tetra-Pak via a hose. The advantage of this is that you do not have to constantly clean the milk container. We recommend UHT milk with 3.5%.

How do I optimally set up my fully automatic coffee machine?

Setting the appropriate grind level and presetting the individual amount of water will significantly improve the selected specialty coffee. Do not set the grind to the finest level, otherwise the grinder of your fully automatic machine could become clogged. The fine adjustment of the water quantity controls the intensity of the coffee.

Dosage of coffee beans in the bean container

Always make sure to fill only small quantities of coffee beans into the coffee container of your fully automatic coffee maker, about as much as you need in a day. This keeps the coffee fresh longer and the coffee beans retain their full aroma for a long time.

Coffee bean storage

At best, you should store your coffee beans in a dark, airtight container in the kitchen cupboard. Simply squeeze the air out of the bag and seal it with a rubber band or, more elegantly, with our freshness clip. You should definitely refrain from storing them in the refrigerator. Coffee beans do not like it too cool and easily take on flavors of other products.

Water filter for your coffee machine

It is especially important to use a water filter that filters lime and other dissolved substances to guarantee the best possible taste. Change the filter regularly, the machine and your taste buds will thank you. In our store you will find suitable models

Cleaning the coffee machine

In addition, you should always clean and descale your fully automatic coffee machine, this will also significantly extend the life of your machine and the coffee aroma will remain at a high level. Unfortunately, mold easily forms in fully automatic machines due to heat and moisture, which can affect not only the taste, but also your health. You can also find suitable cleaning liquids and additives in our store.
