Manual of product TCA-170EX
Editorial note
The Techwood TCA-170EX coffee machine stands out with its modern and integrated design, which harmoniously fits into any type of kitchen, adding an aesthetic touch to your space. With a water tank capacity of 1.6 L, it allows for prolonged use without the need for frequent refills. Additionally, its maximum pressure of 15 bars ensures optimal extraction of flavors, thus providing a tasty and high-quality coffee. However, this machine has some limitations. The lack of a built-in grinder reduces the possibility of using fresh coffee beans, which may affect the flavor for some users. Furthermore, the ability to prepare only 2 cups at a time may prove inconvenient for those who regularly make coffee for multiple people. The absence of an adjustable coffee intensity function may also not suit all coffee lovers. Finally, while the auto shut-off after 25 minutes is a safety measure, it may be perceived as too short for those who wish to keep their coffee hot for longer. Overall, the user experience is positive thanks to an integrated screen and intuitive controls, while the cappuccino and espresso making functionality offers a nice variety of hot beverages. However, it is important to consider these drawbacks to determine if this machine meets your specific needs.Score details
