In the photo: drip coffee maker Moulinex Principio Mini FG152832
All drip coffee makers are very simple in design. There is a heater, combined with a stove, on which stands a coffee pot, a water tank, a compartment for laying coffee. This is usually all. Well, plus a small control board, which in simple models with a single on / off button is by and large absent.
Water from the tank enters the heater, heats up and, in the form of steam, rises by gravity into the coffee compartment, where the steam condenses and drips into the coffee in drops, where it seeps through it under natural pressure and without any pressure flows into the coffee pot.
This brewing method is also called "filtration" and is the most appropriate for cooking "Americano". But you need to soberly understand that such coffee makers are not able to do anything except Americano, nor espresso, nor cappuccino, nor even the semblance of Turkish coffee, which is brewed in a Turk or cezve. American is weaker. Therefore, it’s funny for me personally to read reviews when people blame on drip coffee makers, they say, tinted water flows, not like in coffee machines.
So, the Moulinex FG 151825 Subito Mini and Moulinex FG 152832 Principio Mini coffee makers are quite worthy, high-quality representatives of their class
Here I immediately write about two models:
- Moulinex Subito Mini, which is sold under two articles: FG 151825 and FG 1518.
- Moulinex Principio Mini, respectively: FG 152832 and FG 1528.
Four- and six-digit articles are full synonyms, this is one and the same model!
The Moulinex Subito Mini differs from the Principio Mini in exactly two ways:
- The main thing: the Subito Mini comes with a reusable nylon filter, which eliminates the need to buy disposable paper.
- Plus, she, unlike the Moulinex Principio Mini, has a metal insert in front of her “forehead”. The rest of the case is black. The Principio is completely plastic and black.
The main difference between the Moulinex FG 151825 coffee maker and the FG 152832 model is the presence of such a reusable filter in the kit.
Despite the fact that I met the mention that one coffee machine heated to 600 watts, and the other 650, I think that this is misinformation, and flow heaters are the same there.
Otherwise, they are twin sisters. On many resources, including the Mulineks online store, it is indicated that the Moulinex FG 151825 has a tank per liter. It is not right. In both models, it is 600 ml.
I’ll immediately mention another “disu”, which is even on the manufacturer’s website: supposedly some of them have auto power off. No, both models have no auto power off.
Despite the fact that the average price of Moulinex FG 151825 at the time of writing the review is 2500-3000 rubles, and Moulinex FG 1528/152832 is 2000-2500 rubles, it turns out that the extra charge for a reusable filter is 500 rubles.
Given that on average, a No. 2 disposable paper filter (these are suitable for both coffee makers) costs from 2.5 rubles, then after about 200 preparations you will cover the price difference if you buy the more expensive Moulinex 151825 originally.
In terms of convenience and quality, there is nothing to complain about
Coffee makers are made, of course, in China, although the brand is French. But apparently the level of control at the proven Mulineks is quite serious, therefore the quality of components, plastic and assembly at Subito and Principio is at a decent level. I would compare them with analogues from Bosch (for example, Bosch TKA 3A013) or Philips (models HD7457, 7447, 7459 and 7434).
Coffee makers do not give a taste or smell of plastic, which can often be found in more affordable competitors from manufacturers of the second tier, such as Maxwell MW-1650 BK, Vitek VT-1506 or Redmond RCM-1501. True and the price, of course, is different.
Mulineks also has a water level window, and it is clearly visible in front, and a coffee pot is heated, and it heats for unlimited time, and not as usual - a couple of hours. Another thing is that such heating is still not enough to keep the drink hot, it was not boiling water at first, but this feature of all drip coffee makers, the heating plate is weak everywhere.
You adjust the strength of the drink yourself by pouring more or less ground coffee into the filter. You need to understand that not only the quantity affects the taste, but also the variety itself, grinding. The finer the grind and the darker the roast, the stronger the coffee. Stronger blends - a mixture of arabica and robusta, the larger the latter - the more vigorous the drink.
Unless I separately note a very short cord, both in Moulinex FG 1528 and Moulinex FG 151825 it does not reach a meter, hardly more than 50-60 cm.
I summarize the review
Drip coffee makers Moulinex FG 151825 Subito Mini and Moulinex FG 1528 Principio Mini suitable for bachelors, students, one or two American lovers in the family or in the team. In this case, the device will occupy a minimum of space on the table. For your money, an adequate purchase, if quality is at the forefront.
If the volume of 600 ml is not enough for you, but 1.2 liters is still a lot (usually such coffee makers or 0.6 or 1.2 liters), then pay attention to Philips HD 7434 with a coffee pot volume of 900 ml, a reusable nylon filter complete and the same high quality workmanship.
P.S. A richer taste, but not like an espresso (closer to a turk), is obtained in carob boiler coffee makers without pressure pumps. At the same time, there are quite inexpensive and proven copies, for example, Delonghi EC 5/7.
