Remove the frothing attachment to heat the milk without foaming. Note. So that you can brew more coffee immediately after using the steam release function, the coffee maker has an automatic cooling function for the heating element. the ground coffee will not be scalded by the first stream of water. Instead, the water is automatically poured inside the machine into a drainage tray, ensuring the water temperature is optimal for brewing coffee. Make sure the mode switch is in the Stand by position. Plug in the coffee maker and turn it on. The POWER button will light up. The heating indicator will go off when the coffee maker reaches the desired temperature. During operation of the coffee maker, operating noise and vibration may increase. This is due to the design of the coffee maker and is not a malfunction. ЂЂЂSet the mode switch to position. Place a heated cup under the filter holder. ЂЂЂ After filling the cup, set the mode switch to the STAND BY position. If you do not want to use the steam release function, switch the POWER button to the OFF position.

If the temperature drops, the red heat indicator will light up and the coffee maker will automatically restore the temperature suitable for brewing coffee. GRINDING When purchasing ground coffee, make sure that the grind is suitable for use in espresso/cappuccino coffee makers. Check that the grind is fine enough, but not too fine, so that the coffee does not turn into powder. Grinding affects the speed at which water passes through the filter and, therefore, the taste of the finished coffee. 2021 CLEANING CLEANING DESCALING THE COFFEE MAKER Due to regular use, hard water can cause mineral deposits to form on many internal components, causing slow water flow, reduced machine performance and poor coffee quality. It is recommended to regularly (every 2–3 months) remove lime deposits using specialized cleaning products. We do not recommend washing any parts of the coffee maker or accessories in the dishwasher. Make sure that the mode switch is in the STAND BY position and the POWER button is in the OFF position, and the coffee maker is turned off and unplugged from the outlet.

GRINDING CONTROLLER
Turn the dial to select the desired grind level. The first 3 degrees are recommended for the use of double bottom filters.
Adjust the coffee grind level only while the coffee grinder is running. Adjusting the grinding degree of a coffee grinder that is turned off will lead to coffee beans getting stuck between the millstones, additional noise during operation and, as a result, damage to the device.
To froth milk, move the regulator to position. To activate espresso or standby mode, move the control to the StandBY position.
Note. After 5 minutes of continuous steam delivery, the steam function is automatically switched off. Set the switch to StandBY position.

Precautions for use
WE FIRST CARE ABOUT SAFETY
Precautions
About the brand
BORK is an international company specializing in the creation of luxury household appliances; it was founded in 2002; constructors and designers from Japan, Australia, Switzerland, Korea and other countries are involved in the development. BORK household appliances are produced at factories in Germany, Japan, China, Poland, Turkey, France, Hungary and other countries. Today, this brand is one of the leaders in the post-Soviet space and Eastern Europe in the premium class household appliances segment. Bork products are distinguished by their sophisticated design, ergonomics and the highest level of reliability.
The manual for the coffee machine will help with setup, operation or troubleshooting of minor problems that may arise. Often, the instructions that come with the coffee machine are lost or simply not at hand at the right time; it is for such cases that we have placed electronic versions of the operating instructions for Bork coffee machines on our website.

About the brand
The Bork trademark is registered in Germany, but in fact it is a subsidiary brand of the Russian one. It was originally created as a premium product, and therefore prices for goods are higher than the average of competitors.
All Bork coffee makers are Chinese stamped. Nobody is developing anything new. Chinese factories take one model, change the design a little, put on the desired logo and deliver the equipment to the customer.
Since the equipment is positioned as premium, it is produced in metal cases, which is always much better than plastic, since metal dampens noise better.
Bork coffee makers have complete analogues - usually Breville coffee makers. The same equipment is produced under the brands Catler or Solis, which are less known in our market. So when purchasing, it makes sense to compare costs and look for options.

Bork C600
Coffee machine Bork S600 - this model is made in a strict metal case, and it can brew 1.8 liters of coffee. By the way, this coffee maker is also designed for brewing a drink directly into a thermos mug, which makes it universal - you can put the mug in the morning and take delicious coffee with you to work.
What features does the Bork C600 coffee machine have:
- Built-in coffee grinder, which grinds the beans immediately before brewing (like the Jura coffee machine);
- Precise control of drink strength - this model has 7 strength modes. Each mode is regulated by an intelligent system that will accurately dose the amount of grains;
- Accuracy of taste settings - the coffee machine has 5 taste settings. By selecting the “Bold” setting, you can get a rich, strong drink, and the “Lite” setting will brew coffee with a light taste;
- Automatic brewing function - you can choose the time to turn on the machine and the optimal taste and strength settings for you (which even an old samovar cannot boast of).
A special metal coffee brewer retains the heat of the drink, and the energy-saving mode minimizes energy costs. You can buy a Bork coffee machine with these functions for $380.
Bork C700
Bork C700 coffee machine – this model is designed for preparing coffee under pressure (carob coffee maker). The device is made in a stylish metal case, equipped with a heating indicator and backlit buttons.
The water reservoir here is impressive - 2.75 liters, and thanks to the Italian pump with a maximum pressure of 15 bar, the espresso will be rich and tasty.
The Bork S700 coffee maker has several more features:
- Pre-brewing function – before preparing the drink, hot water is pumped through the device system. Thus, the ground coffee is moistened and swells, imbuing the coffee with aroma;
- The ability to prepare cappuccino (even without using filters for the coffee maker);
- Automatic heating element cooling function, which turns on after using the cappuccino maker. This function forces clean water through the heating element, cooling it to the optimal espresso temperature;
- Filters with double bottoms that slow down the flow of water. Such filters are useful if coarsely ground coffee is used (such devices are sometimes also used in electric coffee grinders);
The model is equipped with a nozzle for increasing milk foam, a metal horn and a panel for heating cups. The price of a Bork coffee machine of this type will be 275 USD.
Bork C800
Another Bork carob coffee maker is the C800 model. It also has a traditional “metal” design for this brand, a metal horn and prepares coffee under pressure of 15 bar.

The coffee maker is ready for use and maintains a constant temperature as long as the power button is in the ON position.
If the temperature drops, the red heat indicator will light up and the coffee maker will automatically restore the temperature suitable for brewing coffee.
GRINDING
When purchasing ground coffee, make sure that the grind is suitable for use in espresso/cappuccino coffee makers. Make sure the grind is fine enough, but not too fine, to prevent the coffee from turning into powder. Grinding affects the speed at which water passes through the filter and, therefore, the taste of the finished coffee.
Range
The company regularly updates the range on its website, for which they can be sincerely praised. Competitors’ websites often display a “dump” of dozens of variations. Here everything is simple and clear, it’s easy to choose. However, the website presents only the current top positions, and in online stores there are also other models that are no longer officially released, but stocks remain. Alternatively, on used goods websites there are even older versions that still work.
All Bork coffee makers look really luxurious due to their metal casing! They definitely “look” their price, so they are often bought as gifts.
By the beginning of 2021 - the flagship of the brand. There was also a C805, but now the manufacturer has hidden it on its website as less popular. The 804th model is available with a more powerful thermoblock, which heats the water quite well (but the temperature still fluctuates). Many people like a separate hot water outlet, the ability to change the temperature of the drink, as well as automatic shutdown after a while. It is called a coffee station because it has a built-in coffee grinder. You can use beans or straight ground coffee. The manufacturer has updated the grain bin so that grains no longer get stuck, as was the case in previous models. In general, it’s definitely a good model, no complaints or complaints.
Cost – 68,800 rubles. Analogue – Breville BES870XL.
A very interesting model, compact, with a laconic design. It looks professional and very expensive, but at the same time intended for home use. It seems to be able to do everything: there is a temperature controller, automatic flushing and shutdown functions, and pressure release. Due to pre-wetting, coffee is better extracted during brewing and reveals its aroma and taste. The set includes single-layer and double-layer filters for one and two servings. The heater is simpler, but you can experiment with a pressure gauge and adjust the temperature for a specific type of coffee.
The price is about 40 thousand rubles, it can be found cheaper.
Probably the most beautiful Bork coffee maker, made in shades of shining metal and gold. It’s called Gold, and it looks incredibly beautiful due to the 24-karat coating. You can brew espresso and froth milk at the same time using two separate boilers. Lots of functions, from programming the serving size to setting the pre-wetting settings. There is a working pressure gauge and temperature controller, various automatic functions.
The price is a little expensive due to the gold plating, about 120 thousand, but it looks much more expensive, so it’s worth it. Analogues are Breville BES 900 XL and Gastroback 42636.
Discontinued models
These modifications are not officially sold, but they can still be taken, either from hand, or in various online stores:
- C805 - they tried to promote it as the flagship of the brand, but at a price of 150,000 rubles it did not become interesting to buyers. It was produced as an improved C802 (it would seem much better), with a special function for brewing Americano, a huge selection of coffee grinder settings (40 degrees is still too much). In practice, it turned out that it is inconvenient for anyone - it is easier for beginners to buy a machine much cheaper, and experienced baristas do not need brewing “assistants”.
- S801 is the basic model, after which new ones were made. The C801 itself was not very successful, it was excessively noisy, had an unclear thermoblock, no water or grain sensors, everything had to be controlled manually. The only positive point is the built-in coffee grinder, but in fact it does not outweigh all the disadvantages. There are only used options for sale, on average 10,000 rubles, there are cheaper and more expensive ones.
- S800 is a coffee station that breaks down very often. Almost semi-automatic, in a good case, with a milk jug, a high-quality cappuccino maker - but the disadvantages outweighed the advantages, and in general, this is not the most successful model. However, if it still works, you can buy it, especially in a used format for 12-15 thousand.
- C700 is not an option at all. According to statistics, these are the models most often brought to service centers. It takes a long time to heat up, but the temperature of the finished espresso is low, it makes noise, and it pours unevenly into two cups. It's a bad cone that's hard to clean, and it's made of bad plastic so it tastes bad and deteriorates quickly. This Bork coffee maker was quickly removed from stores, but it is actively sold second-hand, for an average of 7-10 thousand rubles. But it’s still not worth taking.
Bork – premium home appliances
The household appliances market offers products from both domestic and foreign brands. For a long time, the consumer was distrustful of domestic technology and he had a number of well-founded reasons for this. The units of local companies did not impress with either their design or technical functionality; they were bulky, energy-consuming and of little functionality. Well, perhaps their main and only advantage was their low cost. But why buy household appliances, knowing that they are short-lived and unreliable, even if they are inexpensive.
The products of Western companies were distinguished by their thoughtful design, beautiful shapes, and unique performance characteristics, but at the same time they were exorbitantly expensive. Today, when the market has expanded, and “native” companies have learned to produce goods no worse than their Western colleagues, the pricing policy of many brands has changed. But the Bosch microwave is still not affordable for everyone. Fortunately, economics has its own laws, according to which “demand creates supply.” Considering the constantly growing demand for high-quality household appliances, some domestic companies, such as Bork, have carried out a certain rebranding of their production facilities and marketing policies and today are positioned as suppliers of high-quality household appliances in the high and medium price segment. At least this is evidenced by constantly growing sales and positive reviews from satisfied customers.

There is an online boutique Bork for Moscow residents (within 10 km from the Moscow Ring Road) - they will come to you and conduct an on-site demonstration of the models, tell you about the features and advantages of each.
In general, Bork equipment is sold in several stores, for example, Technopark, M.Video, Media-Markt, Eldorado. In addition, there are boutiques in different cities - in addition to Moscow and St. Petersburg, you can visit retail outlets in Barnaul, Omsk, Samara, Sochi, Chelyabinsk; the full list can be found on the official website of the brand. The service is really high quality.
Customer Reviews
In general, consumers are satisfied with Bork coffee makers and sincerely recommend them to others. According to statistics, coffee makers receive ratings of 4-4.5/5. If there are complaints about breakdowns, they write that the service center quickly solved the problem.
“They gave me a Bork Gold coffee maker, and it’s something incredible! It decorates the entire kitchen, looks very stylish and makes great coffee! It’s probably a little expensive to buy for yourself, but overall, it’s a dream, not a coffee maker! I am very pleased!" — Maria, Ufa
“We gave a Bork C804 to the director, and he said that it was the best gift he had ever received from employees. Now sometimes we give premium coffee - there is a coffee grinder, so the drink is fresh. Seriously, this is a great gift! And it looks very expensive.” — Alexey, Moscow
“I once had a C800, I generally love Bork equipment for their service and attitude towards customers. But it broke, and for a long time, so now I have a C803, and no problems. Great item, functional, simple, beautiful.” — Anna, St. Petersburg
In general, we believe that despite the “Russian-Chinese” origin, Bork coffee makers are quite decent. They may seem too complicated for beginners and too “simplistic” for experienced baristas, but this is all individual. Read reviews and reviews of specific models, and choose wisely.
