Many people have coffee makers but are curious what other
types of coffee makers are available on the market. Maybe you would
like to try something new or your old coffee maker finally died and
you need a good replacement.
With hundreds of types of coffee maker on the market,
you have many options available and are sure to find something that
will suit your needs. The best way to find the right product is to
note what you really want and need. Look for the features and the design.
Most of all, consider the proper brewing temperature, which is unfortunately
achieved only by a few brands of coffee makers. So be careful when
choosing the right option.
Following are the different types of coffee makers available which
are available on the market nowadays: 1) Automatic
Drip Coffee Makers:
Automatic drip coffee maker is one of the most popular coffee makers.
This coffee maker has an advantage in their simplicity of use, as
well as the low cost of obtaining one. This drip makers yield a clear,
light-bodied
coffee, free from some of the oils and sediment found in other brewing
methods. As always, serve immediately. Although most machines have
a heating element, do not leave the carafe on the heat for more than
about 30 minutes. If you want to save it longer, pour it into a pre-heated
thermal carafe. There are even coffee makers that brew directly into
a thermal carafe.
2) French Press Coffee Makers:
A French press also known as a Bodum, press pot, coffee plunger
or cafetière, is a coffee maker popularized by the French. If used
correctly, French presses can make teriffic, rich full flavored coffee,
although stronger than other coffee makers. A French press is made
up of of a narrow cylindar shaped jug often made of glass or plastic,
with a lid and a "plunger" which fits snugly in the cylinder.
Unlike the other methods of brewing coffee, this coffee maker
allows a full contact between the boiling water and the coffee.
This full
contact is what actually creates an extract of richer flavors.
Aside from that, controlling the proper temperature of the water
for brewing
coffee is as easy as pie with the French Press. You are actually
in full control in brining the water to its proper temperature
for a full
extraction and a good hot cup.
3) Vacuum Coffee Makers:
Vacuum Coffee Makers are excessively complex for everyday use,
but are known for creating a clear brew. They look like something
you
would find in a chemistry lab and their quirky appearance can
be entertaining
to company. They consists of two connectable compartments (made
of glass, metal, or plastic) with a filter in between and require
some
sort of heat source to operate.
4) Stove-Top Espresso Coffee
Makers:
Stove-pot espresso coffee makers are still popular as a way
of making espresso at home, particularly in Italy. They are
also
sometimes known as machinettas, espresso pots, Mocha pots
or Napolitana pots.
Stove-top
espresso makers have the advantage of not needing electricity
and they tend to be cheaper than other types of espresso
coffee maker.
You simply
fill the base of the stove-top espresso maker with water
and put ground coffee in a central section and place it on the
stove.
However, the coffee they produce can be quite strong and
bitter-tasting. Although they are available in different
sizes, you also need
to allow them to cool down before using them again so they
aren’t ideal
for making large amounts of espresso regularly.
