While we are still testing thermoblocks , questions about a series of tests with single-circuit espresso machines are increasing. This will follow immediately after the Thermoblock series.
Please comment your test requests. Which espresso machine from the single-circuit segment should definitely not be missing?
What additional topics related to Einkreiser should we cover?

What is a single circuit espresso machine?
A eponymous circle runs through the espresso machine. This is a kettle that provides the water for brewing the espresso. If the single circuit also has a milk lance, the temperature of the boiler must be increased to produce the steam pressure.
To produce a cappuccino or latte macchiato, you switch to milk foam mode after brewing the espresso. Depending on the machine, it will take a few seconds to a minute until the boiler is up to power.
With single-circuit machines, it is generally not possible to foam parallel to the espresso coffee. If you like to use a lot of milk foam, you are usually better off with a dual-circuit machine. A two-circuit machine enables foaming and espresso to be made in parallel.
