Polaris Coffee Maker: Popular ranges (including cappuccinator) and technical reviews + customer reviews
Polaris coffee makers are budget options of decent quality in their price policy.
The line is represented by a large number of different options.
Let's consider the best models, their pros and cons.
Contents
How to choose and what to look for?
You should choose a coffee maker according to the estimated amount of consumed coffee, your desired drink and your own finances.
Drip variants are easy to use, do not take up much space, are low in price. However, you can't make real espresso with them, and the filters in them are very short-lived.
They can also be used to make cappuccinos or lattes.
When buying, it is recommended to pay attention to such parameters as:
- volume - For a large family, it does not make sense to buy small drip-type coffee makers;
- housing - Plastic cases are unreliable, and the metal inserts sometimes do not justify the increase in price of the unit;
- weight and size;
- power - It determines the time of preparation of the beverage and the electricity consumed;
- Presence or absence of auto shutdown to avoid equipment burnout.
