If you're looking to buy a new coffee maker, you obviously want to get the best one that you can. As with other consumer products though, which is "best" is dependent on your particular needs. It could mean cheapest, it could mean fastest, it could mean the best equipped, or the most modern. Therefore, it's necessary to know the pros and cons of the differing types of coffee makers, and weigh your needs against them, in order to know which is the best for you.
Drip coffee makers are the most common coffee maker. You find them at home, the office, hotels, restaurants, etc. They come in many shapes in sizes, but they all use a water reservoir that passes hot water over coffee grounds in a paper (or gold) coffee filter. They usually make a pretty good cup of coffee as long as the coffee doesn't sit on the hot plate too long. When coffee sits in the glass carafe for too long, it starts to burn and taste bitter. To prevent this though, you just need to only brew as much coffee as you know you can finish in 30 minutes.
Coffee percolators are seen as the classic form of coffee maker, and are very popular for use at home. They're typically the cheapest option, so are best if you're on a tight budget, but they have little else going for them. Basically, they will make an ok cup of coffee, but not much better than ok. Even if you use an expensive coffee blend, the final cup of coffee won't taste great due to the method it uses to make it.
Seen as the elegant and classy coffee maker, the French press is the best option for people who like their kitchen and appliances to give off a stylish and modern vibe. The French press is made up of a glass cylinder with a plunger and a flat mesh filter, and to use it you just put some ground coffee into the cylinder, douse it was water, and press repeatedly on the plunger. As for the final cup of coffee that it produces, it is definitely better than average. The only downside to them being that only coarse coffee grounds can be used with it, so it isn't an option for those of you who prefer finer blends.
The newest coffee maker trend is one cup coffee brewers, especially coffee pod systems. They are becoming more and more popular in offices. They're extremely easy to use and maintain because there is no messy filter or coffee grounds to fuss with. You simply pop the coffee pod (or disc) into the machine and let it brew. A minute later you have a cup of freshly brewed coffee, with just a pod to throw away.The only downside is that you can't brew your favorite exotic blend.
So, which is the best coffee maker for you? It's just a matter of evaluating your lifestyle and coffee habits, and establishing which type best suits your needs. |
