Mmmm, there’s nothing better than a cup of coffee that fills your house with its unmistakable aroma. Although people around the world have been making and drinking coffee for centuries (it originates from Ethiopia), it wasn’t until 1972 that electric coffee makers became available for use in the home or office. These coffee makers revolutionized the way people make coffee, turning the coffee making process into a quick and easy affair. Although there are plenty of ways to make coffee without electricity, automatic coffee makers are definitely the most convenient, hassle-free way of making a great cup of coffee quickly and easily.
Coffee at a slow drip
Perhaps the most well known of the coffee makers, the drip coffee maker is in most kitchens in the US, as well as in most hotel rooms. There’s a whole variety that will allow you to make 1 cup, 6 or 12 cup pots, to semi programmable machines that can produce coffee to a schedule. Becoming more popular is the style that produces vacuum coffee pots that don’t need the heating element to keep the coffee warm.
The basis of the drip coffee maker is very simple. Coffee is placed in a filter basket and hot water is slowly passed through the grounds to produce the coffee. The filter basket is usually lined with a filter paper, but there are some that use a fine mesh instead. Whilst these are more eco-friendly (and you’ll never run out of filter papers) they may occasionally let some of the ground through.
These machines can produce a good cup of coffee reasonably quickly and cheaply but you’d never mistake it for espresso. If your set on getting an espresso on a budget then the next category may be for you.
Coffee bean origin is one critical factor in determining your gourmet brew. Note that it is the key geographical growth locations which give your coffee its distinctive flavor, as this has got to do with the original soil. The mineral rich volcanic soils of Hawaii give a very different taste sensation compared to those from Africa or South America. Coffees grown within an exclusive plantation yields better quality control.
The Future of Coffee Makers
Home coffee makers are so widespread in the west that nearly every household has at least one on the kitchen counter. Yet things started to change once coffee chains like Starbucks started opening on corners worldwide. Since coffee shops can make specialty coffee drinks that you probably wouldn’t make at home, many people started choosing not to make their cup of joe at home anymore. Coffee chains opened all over the world, buoyed by the voracious appetites of coffee lovers willing to fork over four bucks for a cup of coffee.
Is a Genuine Espresso Possible?
At the very pinnacle of coffee makers is the espresso coffee maker. These machines are the most expensive and can be the most hi tech. They range in price from a couple of hundred dollars to several thousand for a top of the line machine. So is paying the extra worth it? To be honest that really depends on your coffee drinking habits.
If all you drink is the occasional espresso then a lower end pure espresso maker will fit the bill. If you’re a more regular drinker and want a mix of styles then a combination coffee and espresso maker will probably suit you better.
Many of these coffee makers are fairly complex machines, some with many options and abilities. The down side of this is that there is a lot more to go wrong and they do wear out. A proper espresso maker will push hot water through the coffee at fairly high pressure so they don’t last forever, so take care if you’re looking at the low end of the budget scale.
It may make more sense to pay a little more for an espresso coffee maker that is well made and will last longer than the cheaper models
