Aqualey: connecting the coffee machine to the water supply. Best Plumbing Automatic Office Coffee Machine (2020) Plumbing Coffee Maker

Attention! There are fakes and goods on the market without a guarantee

Dear customers, on the Internet you can often see products with the same pictures and models on other sites, but often much cheaper. This is almost always a "leftist" product imported illegally into the territory of the Russian Federation and does not have an official guarantee (except in the words of the sellers of such stores). In the event of a malfunction during the warranty, you will be denied a branded service, and in the store where such a product was purchased, under any pretext they will send either a service or something else. Almost always, the warranty card is in Russian in such goods or in the form of a copier from the original, or is simply absent (only in foreign languages).

By purchasing fake or goods for significantly low prices than at the official large stores, you actually run the risk of being left 1 on 1 with expensive PAID repairs in the branded service, that is, you will pay again and, most importantly, be nervous about this issue.

By purchasing equipment from officials, for example, in our store, you get competent professional advice and genuine goods with a real guarantee and a coupon on special paper and in Russian.

Dealer Certificates

With this review, I want to start a cycle of tests of various devices for coffee machines, which can expand the functionality even budget model, endowing it with the capabilities of a premium coffee machine. The first such device in line is a system for connecting coffee machines to plumbing Aqualey... It is produced by a company from St. Petersburg (import substitution on the march!), Which kindly provided me with a sample for testing.

To begin with, connecting to the water supply is the prerogative of either commercial models (for example, or), or very expensive and rare home ones (this is usually typical). Russian reality, of course, is making adjustments. This is in the homeland of most coffee machines - in Italy - almost San Pellegrino flows from the tap, and in our country it is better to connect to the water supply after the household filter under the sink or directly to the cooler.

But if you want to teach your inexpensive coffee machine to fill with water on its own, then there is nothing impossible. Here is such a simple set, it contains everything you need to connect almost any model (with the exception of some instances with closed access to the tank) to household filter and make it almost autonomous:

The principle, of course, cannot be called innovative - any person with an engineering education, if given time, can assemble a similar eyeliner by choosing the necessary parts. In the case of Aqualey, the manufacturer has already done this for you, having developed a universal set for most coffee machines.

Aqualey is essentially a system of fittings and pipes that can be gently routed from the filters under the sink to your coffee machine. A plus main element and "know-how" - a float valve with fastening that regulates the inclusion and shutdown of the water supply. An additional tap is optionally installed to turn off the water supply for more peace of mind during a long absence or in case of cleaning the coffee machine. Also included are stickers to facilitate fastening:

All materials are selected conscientiously, the manufacturer assures (and this is confirmed by the marking on the spare parts) that the fittings - pipes, faucet and fittings (adapters) - are produced by the British company John Guest in the UK.

However, enough to consider, let's collect. I connected Melitta Caffeo Varianza to the water supply and this is how it looked:

I start using fittings and a knife to assemble the required tube configuration. This stage requires care! First, I try everything on. Before starting the process, I recommend straightening all the segments of the tubes (since they come twisted, they have a slight curvature when unpacking). At the first stage, I try on without cutting for a complete tap (with a blue valve). On the last stage I will simply embed it in a suitable segment, having precisely understood the future wiring from the machine under the countertop and further to the filter under the sink.

At this moment, I decide to slightly change the location of the coffee machine on the table and hang Aqualey on the back wall of the tank. In addition, after carefully reading the instructions again, I conclude that I initially forgot to cut out the corner of the round white sticker to fix the fasteners, and glued it strictly opposite the long white bolt. In fact, you need to make a small corner cutout and glue the resulting semicircle "above" the bolt. In this case, the sticker acts as a stop-spacer between the supply pipe and the fastening bolt (see photo below):

Now I finally fix the mount on the tank wall. For better vertical fixation, as indicated in the instructions, I made a corner cutout in the sticker and positioned it in the girth of the bolt.

I bring the Aqualey hose under the countertop to the filter. I carefully cut the blue hose that went from the filter to the tap at the sink and connect all three inlets in a complete tee.

This is what the mounted Aqualey system looks like in my case. I decided to place the tap that shut off the water supply to the coffee machine on the side of it, so that it was at hand and there was no need to climb under the sink. But, in principle, you can choose any other place for its insertion.

The coffee machine can now be pushed deeper under wall cabinet- there is no more need to take out the water tank. You just need to leave enough space to easily fill up the grains.

Nuances

Like anyone potential client I am, first of all, worried about two questions - how reliable is the Aqualey system ( in other words, will the float "glitch" and will it flood the whole kitchen for me?) and how the warranty repair departments look at the use of such a system ( Will they refuse to repair my coffee grinder, for example, if I use Aqualey?). Let's figure it out in order:

  1. Reliability and protection against leaks. Here I must admit that I did not do a long test, but honestly for a couple of days I tried to achieve that the float valve "stuck": I turned it this way and that, turned off and on the water, used warm water, turned on the coffee machine so that it vibrated ... But the valve stubbornly worked in the right moment... In general, the structure looks quite reliable in the new state. There are no complaints about the pipes and connections themselves - they really inspire confidence, although I am not a plumber.

Nevertheless, when using the Aqualey system in the office, for peace of mind, I would turn off the water supply to the coffee machine with a special tap at night. I repeat, it is included in the kit.

2. As for the warranty, then after polling several service centers, I came to the conclusion that they do not have a single position on the question of whether a coffee machine modernized in this way is a warranty or not. Certainly, connecting Aqualey to a coffee machine by means of a tie-in may be a reason for refusing a guarantee (but it may not be). But the supply of water directly from above to the tank can hardly affect the warranty repair. After all service center it just does not recognize that you connected their coffee machine to the water supply, there will be no traces other than a couple of stickers on the machine.

3. Plus, of course, compatibility issue... The system is easy to integrate into coffee machines with top access to the water tank. Moreover, since the diameter of the tube and the dimensions of the other elements are relatively small, the aesthetically pleasing appearance suffers little, the system looks quite solid. But if the water tank slides out from the front or side, then a sidebar will be needed. This involves drilling small hole with a diameter of 7-8 mm in the body of the coffee machine and the tank itself. The manufacturer showed me several examples of such an implementation, below are a couple of photos. Accurate information about whether Aqualey is suitable specifically for your model can be found on the manufacturer's website or on hotline... The manufacturer also promises to help with all installation questions in your case.

An example of an implementation with a tank insert: Aqual in Saeco Aulika Top

But personally, I cannot say that I would immediately decide on a cut-in installation. All the same, the case deteriorates.

Aqualey review verdict

Without hiding the fact that this review is being printed, which is called "for advertising rights", I hasten to assure that I took the product for a test with the condition "if you don't like it, I will not review it." Well, as you can see, I completely overcame my skepticism 🙂

By the way, at first it seemed to me that such a device for connecting coffee machines to a water supply system would be relevant only in offices. However, after interviewing a dozen acquaintances, it turned out that many of them are ready to consider this system precisely for home use... My guesses were also confirmed by the manufacturer Aqualeya, who claims that more than 50% of orders come from home connections.

Indeed, in addition to the main functionality - automatic tank replenishment - Aqualey can significantly reduce the space occupied by a coffee machine, which is important just in home kitchens.

On the one hand, if the tank is taken from above, then this requires space above the coffee machine. When installing Aqualeya, there is no need for it. But not really, the grains must be filled up.

The feint is different. Applying the system, you are decoupled from the volume of the water tank. That is, even if there are 10 consumers, you do not need to take a coffee machine with a large water tank and you can limit yourself to at least a liter! Examples right off the bat: the same Melitta Varianza, several other models of Melitta,.

And finally, the financial aspect - many are considering the option of buying built-in coffee machines just because of their autonomy. But in the end, they refuse such an acquisition - built-in appliances are very expensive. And with the Aqualey, you can get almost all the benefits of flush-mounted installation at no significant cost.

The Aqualey kit for connecting a coffee machine to a water supply system or a filter can be bought on the official website of the product - http://aqualey.ru/. In the homeland of the device - in St. Petersburg - you can also order the installation of a turnkey system. You can ask your questions about use and installation in the comments under this review, the manufacturer's representative will answer them.

The coffee taste, aroma and richness loved by the owner will be respected different models coffee machines. But the demands are growing. A home barista should be close at hand and not take up extra space. Moreover, it must be in harmony with the environment. Built-in devices meet these requirements.

The special design of the coffee maker allows it to be placed inside kitchen furniture... The kitchen cabinet niche must be the same dimensions as the coffee maker, and a special frame for embedding can be included in the kit or purchased separately.

Coffee makers with the possibility of embedding are able to fit perfectly into the interior modern kitchen... Only a few manufacturers produce embedded models, so their choice is very limited.

Features and characteristics

Usually professional coffee machines can be connected to the water supply requiring great performance. Built-in units must provide maximum service through the front panel. Therefore, it is better to supply water from the pipeline.

For use tap water directly a prerequisite is the availability of replaceable or permanent filters to clean it from various impurities. However, such devices usually have an additional water reservoir.

It differs from a conventional coffee maker in appearance by the fact that the places where the cups are installed are recessed into the body. You have to take the cup not from the protruding stand, but from the niche. Otherwise, the design does not affect the variety of functions and complexity of the software.

Like the process of preparing a drink, in these models, the cleaning process is also as automated as possible. Before and after turning on the device, the automatic tube rinsing function starts. In addition, there are functions automatic self-cleaning and rinsing of the system, self-diagnostics, programming for water hardness and switch-on and switch-off times.

Special indicators will signal when the compartment for coffee beans and fresh water is full, the water sump needs to be emptied, the descaling program needs to be started. Almost all removable parts are dishwasher safe.

Fast steam

The presence of the "fast steam" system in the coffee maker allows you to switch from espresso to cappuccino in seconds. This is achieved due to the fact that the boiler of the coffee maker is able to produce steam almost instantly.

Dispensing hot water

Most espresso machines contain heated water in a separate container, which you can use to make tea, for example. Water supply is carried out from a separate tap or from a steam outlet(in this case it can be switched between “Steam” and “Dispensing hot water”). Water, as a rule, is supplied with a temperature of +90 ° С; in some cases, it can be adjusted.

Grinding adjustment

The degree of grind affects the time it takes required amount water (for a portion of espresso it is 35 ± 5 ml) passes through the formed coffee tablet. The ideal time is 25 ± 3 seconds.

If the grind is very coarse, the water runs too quickly and the coffee is weak and sour. On the other hand, grinding the coffee too finely will lengthen the brewing time and the coffee may acquire a burnt taste.

The required grind depends on the type of beans, the degree of roasting, humidity and ambient temperature. In combination with pre-wetting, the result is consistently high.

Programming

All coffee machines with a display have a programming function that allows you to:

  • Set the filling volume for different cups with different drinks: espresso, americano, lungo coffee. On super-automatic coffee machines, you can select the desired amount of coffee and milk froth for cappuccino and latte macchiato.
  • Select the temperature of the coffee to be brewed.
  • Carry out an automatic daily rinse when the coffee machine is switched on.
  • Activate the grinding function for the next cup required for continuous preparation a large number servings of coffee, and others.

The presence of a display and a programming system in many cases allows you to save the coffee machine from significant errors during operation.

Possibility to use ground coffee

The main advantage of coffee machines operating on coffee beans Is a fresh grind for every espresso cup. But coffee better retains its positive properties in its grain form, and after grinding it begins to quickly lose its aroma, and everything that we value in coffee. Therefore, using ground coffee has a limited circle of fans among the owners of coffee machines.

The coffee machines are equipped with two types of millstones - steel and ceramic. Coffee machines with ceramic burrs run quieter. However, steel millstones are more resistant to mechanical stress, require debugging much less often, and are easier to maintain. For loads of more than 300 servings of coffee per month, it is better to choose coffee machines with steel grinders.

“Ceramics” is used primarily at home or in reception areas with low coffee consumption.

Dull millstones lead to an increase in grinding time, coffee beans overheat, aroma is burnt out, coffee is bitter and empty in taste. The frequency of replacing the millstones depends on the hardness of the grain used (preparation from 5 to 15 thousand portions).

Smeg CMS45X

The built-in automatic coffee machine Smeg CMS645X of the Classica series is designed for preparing wide range coffee drinks and tea in coffee shops, bars and restaurants. The equipment is equipped with a container for ground coffee, a removable container for coffee grounds, a height-adjustable nozzle for 2 cups and a drip tray. The body is made of stainless steel.

With the Auto Cappuccino function you can prepare a real Italian cappuccino in one touch. Passing through freshly ground coffee, steam completely envelops the coffee granules and extracts all the aroma from them for a rich coffee.

Using the special regulator on the milk container, you can set the degree of frothing of the milk and prepare a cappuccino with a thick froth or a coffee with milk.

Coffee tastes better when brewed with freshly ground beans. The Gorenje + coffee machine allows you to set one of nine coffee grind settings. When using coffee beans, the dosage is done by the machine.

It is very convenient to store coffee, since the device is equipped with special shelves, in order to use them, you need to pull the machine out of the niche using telescopic guides. In addition, the Gorenje + coffee machine allows you to use pre-ground coffee.

The coffee grounds are collected in a special container. If the grounds container is overfilled or the coffee bean container is empty, the appliance will warn you with a message on the display.

Extra large milk container allows you to prepare several cappuccino or lattes in a row - without adding milk to the container. But that's not all: the container can be simply removed and refrigerated until next use.
