Mi Coffee Machine -Function and Use
This amazing machine uses the latest technology that lets you choose the coffee capacity, flavor, and even your favorite coffee style. The most brilliant bit is that allows you to control all these various features through your phone.
Let's start this segment of the Xiaomi Scishare review by getting to the first step: The installation.
Thanks to the new wifi option in the Scishare Coffee Maker, you can connect pretty seamlessly with the Mi Home App, which wasn’t possible with the first generation coffee maker. It’s pretty easy to set up.
- Open the Mi Home App
- Find the Scishare Coffee Maker
- Add the device
- Connect to the Wifi
- You can rename the Xiaomi Scishare coffee machine if you want
- You can also choose the location to place the device in
Once it’s set up, it’s time to make some coffee!
- Before you get started on making your favourite beverage, there’s an option to ‘Clean the device’. In this case, the water from the water container is used and it goes through the device and flushes anything out.
This is a good thing to do, especially when you are using it for the first time. But I surely love this option to clean the device.
When you unbox the device, you get coffee packed with the coffee maker.
- There are two different coffee flavours.
- To use the machine, you need to take the coffee flavour, open the top hatch, place the coffee flavour inside and then choose the drink of your choice through the Mi Home app and then it automatically starts making your cup of coffee.
With the help of the App, you can choose to do the following:
- You can command the machine to make you a cup of espresso, an americano or hot water.
- When you are in the process of making your espresso, you can choose the amount of coffee you want to use and the temperature you want it at. Of course, you might not be able to gauge the quantities, at least initially. It will take time getting used to as your prefered settings will come to you only after you keep experimenting with the machine.
The app also can be used to clean the machine, you have a log history of all the coffees you have made. There are also a few automation rules you could set up.
- When it comes to the coffee capsules, the size used by Xiaomi is the industry standard. This means you can buy capsules from any other coffee company such as Nespresso and Nescafe and more.
- The use case for the Wifi app is pretty awesome. When you wake up, you can simply instruct your Xiaomi Scishare coffee machine to make coffee of your choice, provided there are a cup and capsule in place.
- At night, there is a LED light that is turned on, which brings a bit of illumination to the coffee machine. So if you’re pulling an all-nighter and you don’t want to wake the house up, then the LED light will guide you through the process.

Performance
When it comes to the performance all I can really say is that this coffee machine is absolutely brilliant. Initially, I was a little sceptical about this coffee machine as it was tiny and looked unreliable. However, this tiny thing is a beast.
It has a 580ml clear water tank at the back that I really appreciate as it let me fill the water easily without having to do any guesswork or clean up any spills. Once, I popped in the capsule, this machine prepared a cup in almost a minute. Using the machine was quite easy and the maintenance was even easier. After extracting out the contents of the capsule it is thrown into a trash container that can be removed.
What I really love about the Xiaomi coffee machine is the 9-level systems. I love my coffee strong and these 9 levels and the 19 bar pressure can really produce some strong coffee with amazing flavours. Most of the time I tend to gravitate towards the highest strength and flavour. However, I also do recommend low strength and high flavour as it has a refreshing vibe to it.
Overall the performance of this coffee machine is stellar. Even the cup holder can be adjusted to accommodate bigger cups, making this one of the best coffee machines in terms of performance.
