Coffee Machines & Teapots

How to choose a coffee machine

Start with what coffee you drink and how much time you want to spend making it – that decides the type of machine.

Capsule – the fastest

Insert a capsule, press a button and your coffee is ready, with almost no cleaning. The FIT2 Uno works with three systems – Nespresso and Dolce Gusto capsules and ground coffee (via separate adapters) – heats up in 40 seconds and has a 700 ml water tank.

Espresso – if you like coffee with milk

An espresso machine with a steam wand lets you make cappuccino or latte from ground coffee. The FIT2 Viva has a 20-bar pump, a 1.7 l water tank, a steam wand for milk and a hot water function. For more features there's the Hausberg HB-3730NG digital 4-in-1. Specifications list the maximum pump pressure: 15–20 bar is plenty for a home machine – a higher number alone doesn't make better coffee.

Filter – when the whole family drinks coffee

A drip (filter) coffee maker brews a whole jug at once: the Livoo DOD200C – 1.25 l (10–12 cups), the Hausberg HB-3700NG – 1.2 l, the smaller FIT2 CM-102 – 0.75 l. Good for the office and guests.

Turkish coffee, moka pot and French press

The Hausberg HB-3815IN Turkish coffee maker (6 cups), the Livoo DOD117A electric moka pot, the IBILI Elba stovetop moka pot (induction-compatible) and the RETOO glass French press – simple ways to a different coffee taste.

Milk, grinding and tea

• Milk foam without an espresso machine – the FIT2 KJBQ12 cordless frother or the Hausberg HB-7678 milk frother and heater.
• Freshly ground coffee – the FIT2 electric grinder (also for nuts and spices) or the IBILI Class manual grinder with adjustable grind.
• For tea – IBILI cast-iron teapots with an infuser and the Hausberg HB-3640IN tea maker; to boil water, see electric kettles.

To keep your machine working for years, descale it regularly as described in the manual. More kitchen appliances are in kitchen.

You can see most products at the FIT2 store in Vilnius Outlet (Vytauto Pociūno g. 8, 2nd floor) – it's worth checking availability of a specific model in advance.
