What you should know about Yabano espresso machine

Yabano is a pretty powerful espresso machine. 

The majority of the coffee machines use 9-bar pressure to pull an espresso shot which makes them pretty efficient; it only takes them 20- 30 seconds to prepare an espresso shot. Imagine how much more powerful a machine would be with 15 bars of pressure embed into it?

Yes, that’s right the Yabano espresso machine is a high-performing machine with 15 bars of pressure that makes brewing an espresso much faster than 20 seconds. However, some claim that high pressure isn’t necessarily a good thing as it might spoil the taste of the coffee. 

The truth is Yabano can brew great coffee at a very high pressure very quickly. 

Some of its unique features you should be aware of are: 

• Milk wand: Attached
• Water tank: 37oz
• 1 cup/2 cups option: Yes
• Customisable volume of espresso: Yes
• Power: 1350W
• Milk pitcher included: Yes 
• Glass cup included: Yes 
• Price: $139.99

A Yabano owner leaves a funny review:

Honestly shocked at how well it works, for being so cheap. Like the title says; this is so simple to use, that my husband (a man who has been repeatedly bested by a standard French-press) was able to master it immediately. I was spending $50 a week to get coffee at a shop by my office, but this gas replaced my need for that!

How to use your Yabano espresso machine for the first time

If you just purchased your machine but haven’t used it yet, it’s wise to set it up the right way. 

Let’s go over a few things you should be aware of: 

• To kick off things, after unboxing your machine it’s a good idea to skim through the manual booklet with all the instructions in it (I know it’s dead boring but believe me, it’s going to answer most of your queries about setting up and starting your new espresso machine).
• Now, turn on the machine and switch on the steam knob too. Vent for a few seconds until steam comes out of the wand.
• Add water to the water tank and turn on the power switch
• Turn the steam Knbo and make sure water comes out of the tube

How to brew coffee with your Yabano espresso machine

Once you have set up your machine you’re ready to brew delicious coffee.

Let’s go through the steps you need to take to brew delicious espresso-based brews with your Yabano machine: 

1. First off, add fresh water to the water tank (make sure it’s over the middle so you won’t run out of it any time soon). Also make sure you have turned on your machine
2. Grind your coffee beans based on the grind size you prefer 
3. Choose either the single or double stainless portafilter that comes with the machine
4. Add the coffee grinds to the portafilter and tamp them down so you make it easier for the coffee machine to pull your espresso
5. You’re good to go now and go ahead with your brewing

How to use the wand of your Yabano espresso machine 

Fortunately, the Yabano espresso machine comes with a steamer so you can froth milk and enjoy cappuccinos and lattes any time. 

• To get started with the wand, make sure there’s enough water in the water tank
• Give it a few moments for the water to reach the right temperature. The machine will display that you can go ahead with your frothing
• Pour milk (preferably cold cause it makes better foam) into the pitcher 
• Turn the wand on such steam comes out of it
• Submerge the wand into the milk and move the pitcher in circular movement evenly
• When the bubbles of your milk are even this is an indicator that your milk is ready
• You can also use a thermometer to make sure that the milk has reached the right temperature for frothing 130-150 °F

How to clean your Yabano espresso machine 

Let’s face it, who wants to clean their coffee machine? It’s boring, isn’t it? I don’t like it either, but the truth is that by cleaning it regularly and looking after it, you extent the lifespan of the coffee machine, meaning you won’t need to spend cash on buying a new machine any time soon. For this reason alone, it’s worth cleaning your machine. 

Let’s have a look at how you can go about it the easy way:

• It’s vital to clean the portafilter right after every espresso shot you pull. Just take it off your brewer and rinse it to get rid of used grounds
• It’s also important to clean the drip tray regularly which collects water. Just throw the water it collects in a sink and clean its surface with a kitchen roll or even a sponge and washing-up liquid to remove coffee stains that persist. 
• Clean around your Yabano espresso machine to get rid of coffee grinds and keep bacteria and germs away from your machine
• It’s also important to take off your water tank with water and washing up liquid
• It’s vital to use a cleaning product including tablets or powder to clean thoroughly the inside of your machine
• Finally, it’s equally important to descale your machine every now and again to remove water minerals that build up on the inside of your machine (Do you know how to easily use a Smeg espresso brewer?)
