Chankun is a Taiwanese electronics manufacturer founded in 1978 and today has a major business segment in electrical appliances. Cankun has always paid great attention to cost performance, and the same is true in the field of coffee machines. Cankun is mainly based on semi-automatic coffee machines, but most of them are toy machines below 1,000 yuan, many of which can also clearly see the imitation objects, such as TSK-1163A, from the shape to the color, it is not difficult to see the imitation of IllyX7.1, the price of 398 yuan can not guarantee the basic performance of the machine.
For the espresso machine, Cankun only has one TSK-1837B that can be called the entry model, the price is 2598 yuan, the cost performance is not bad, and the basic functions are guaranteed. The TSK-1837B has a good performance in terms of extraction pressure, mainly due to its pressure pump imported from Italy. In terms of heating system, the same Thermoblock constant temperature heating system as Kruber, with NTC safety dual control, also has a good performance in the stability of the extraction water temperature.
In terms of appearance, the brushed stainless steel shell does not reveal a sense of cheapness like other models under Cankun, but it still performs unsatisfactory in terms of detail and workmanship.
In terms of cup quality, it should be noted that this espresso machine only provides two established cup sizes without expanding the capacity of the brewing head, with a single cup of 50ml and a double cup of 100ml, which greatly exceeds the standard value of espresso, which leads to the general taste of the coffee it makes. All things considered, it might be a better choice to add a bit of budget to the Lancirio Silvia or the De'Longhi Icona ECO 310 semi-automatic coffee machine.
In terms of filter coffee machines, Cankun's TSK-1429A is the one that performs better. The design is similar to the Philips HD5412 drip coffee machine. But the price is only 398 yuan, which is cost-effective.
