I am rather cross with myself, as I am trying out the 5 Multi Hot Beverage machine which is actually an All-In-One hot beverage machine from Haier. The reason I am cross with myself is I have never heard of this company, despite Haier being one of the leading global appliance brands. Yes, Haier are global!! Goodness knows how I have missed out on this major brand so I am now having to play catch-up and find out how much I have been missing out on. However I am really delighted to have been given the opportunity to learn about this top global brand and also have the chance to make sure my readers haven’t missed out on Haier too!
This Multi Beverage machine is a new concept for me but I really enjoyed putting this machine through its paces, it was such a treat. I was able to make tasty hot drinks using the ingredients I preferred and I went from the basic instant coffee and then onto my much-loved ground coffee. I also tried this machine with tea bags and leaf tea too. As a chocolate addict, one of my real fun try-outs was using my much-loved chocolate that I broke into squares and made the most beautiful hot chocolate drink. This was a lovely treat before going to bed! Having the ability to make tasty hot drinks using the type of milk that I preferred was another big plus point. It was an eye-opener for me realising how easy it was to make so many different drinks from this incredibly clever Multi Beverage machine, using ingredients that I preferred.
So let me tell you a little bit more about my new favourite machine. It has a space saving, compact design which is important if you are living with a small kitchen. The non-stick jug comes in black and it genuinely is non-stick, so it is easy to switch from tea, to coffee and then onto chocolate, if that is what you need to do and it shows the versatility you have with this machine. I’m sure most families, like mine, don’t all enjoy the same drink, which is another reason this machine quickly became our family favourite. Having a non-stick interior also allows you to clean the jug quickly and easily in the sink with the cleaning brush that is supplied. Just take care not to immerse the underside in water, as you need to protect the heating element.
There is a tailor made metal filter included for preparing ground coffee or loose leaf teas. The filter has fine holes to ensure your drink has maximum flavour and minimal residues. I was also impressed that my Multi Beverage Series 5 has an Overheat Safety Control System so you can always heat your drinks to the correct temperature, but without burning them. You operate it by using the modern, sleek LED touch controls. So whether you prefer loose leaf tea, Americano or Cappuccino, this Home Barista is ready to do the work for you with its 6 dedicated functions. All drinks are ready for you at the touch of a button and as explained, cleaning is so easy thanks to the non-stick interior of the jug.
Another massive, massive plus point for me was that I am delighted that I can ditch my coffee capsules so I am not wasting plastic or aluminium. That is really important to be as I hate creating more waste, when we drink so much coffee at home. Now all my beverages can be made using natural ingredients, so that does make me feel I’m helping the climate with this change too. Plus the joy of being able to make my favourite café-style hot drinks at home was brilliant and so cost effective. Also included in the Series 5 Multi Beverage is a measuring scoop as well as the cleaning brush. Both tools have a magnetic end that allows them to be stored on the side of the appliance, which for me is another touch of genius as I would be annoyed if had to spend ages searching for these tools. Even the family found it easy to get into the habit of storing them on the side of the machine – hence my saying this is a genius product!!! There is also a 2 Year Warranty with this machine.

I thoroughly enjoyed using this brilliant machine and as the festive season approaches I was thinking how this would make a great gift. It would also be a brilliant engagement and wedding gift, or perhaps you’d like to spoil someone who is off to university, mind you that ‘lucky’ person would end up being the University Barista!

Within the first year of his appointment, in response to complaints about faulty fridges, his radical action of smashing the fridges with a hammer in front of employees has been recognised as an important cornerstone of the brand.
Since then, the company has evolved with the changing requirements of the modern world and of today’s consumer, capitalising on its core values of quality and reliability to offer premium, innovative and modern products.
