Home Cafe Coffee Machine Suggestions to Overcome Corona Blue

[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Hyewon] As social tension caused by the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) has persisted for a long time, many people have been complaining of psychological depression known as 'Corona Blue.' As a result, the 'In-door' life trend, which enjoys leisure activities at home to overcome Corona Blue, is gaining momentum.

According to a survey conducted by the part-time job portal 'Albamon' on 4,450 adults in their 20s on the 24th, 7 out of 10 people in their 20s feel Corona Blue, and among them, 12.9% (multiple responses allowed) answered that they are developing hobbies that can be done at home to relieve Corona Blue.

Among various hobbies, the 'home cafe' trend, enjoying coffee at home instead of cafes, has become even more popular after the COVID-19 pandemic. People study coffee, select beans according to their personal taste to blend themselves, or equip professional home cafe tools, becoming 'coffee enthusiasts' to overcome the frustrating homebound life.

Accordingly, it has become no longer unusual to own expensive espresso coffee machines to enjoy premium coffee tailored to one's own taste. According to HLI, which distributes premium home cafe appliances such as Jura and Breville, from June to August, when COVID-19 spread, sales of Breville and Jura home cafe appliances increased by 59% offline and 95% online compared to the same period last year.

Automatic coffee machines handle everything from bean grinding to extraction automatically, offering high convenience and providing coffee with consistent taste depending on extraction settings. By setting the grind size of the beans and the amount of milk before operation, one can maintain the taste and aroma of coffee according to personal preference. Featuring a 'mist spray extraction method' that evenly sprays water on the ground coffee to maximize the original flavor of the beans, and the 'Aroma G3 grinder' that grinds twice as fast as the company's previous grinders to richly preserve aroma, it boasts the best espresso taste.
