Best Coffee Makers 2024

The coffee industry has exploded in the past few decades. Along with the expanded varieties of Estate beans now available, numerous styles of top-notch coffee makers are available to help you get the most out of exotic Estate coffee beans. This is an overview of the categories of coffee machines, and In our other sections, you can read about the finer points of each coffee maker.

 

Main Categories of Coffee Makers

 

  • Drip-Coffee Machines
  • Cold Brew Coffee Makers
  • French Presses
  • Electric Percolators
  • Pour Overs
  • Single-serve Brewers
  • Standard Percolators

 

(Since Espresso machines can be fairly  technical and come in so many varieties, we cover those in a separate section).

 

Everyone has likely drank drip-coffee at some point. These are pretty basic machines. You put your coarsely ground coffee in a paper or reusable filter, fill the reservoir with water, press the power button and in 10 minutes you have a pot of Java.

 

Cold Brew coffee machines steep your ground coffee in cold water for several hours. This process creates a smooth, frothy and low-acidity coffee  that can be diluted with water to suit your taste.

 

Making coffee with a French Press is a simple process. Grind your coffee beans to a medium-coarse finish, add barely boiling water in the receptacle, stir them together, put the cover on and steep for about five minutes. Push down slowly on the plunger until the liquid is separated from the coffee grounds. Pour and enjoy!
Percolators use a simple process also. Simply fill the bottom reservoir with water and heat to near-boiling temperature. Your coffee grounds are placed in the metal filter that sits above the water. After about seven minutes, your brew is ready. Remove the metal filter and pour your cup of Java.
Single-Serve coffee machines are all the rave lately. They make one cup of coffee at a time, which is ideal for coffee drinkers who do not want to make an entire pot. Two basic types are available. One uses a pre-measured sealed “pod,” while others use a filter that can be filled with any type of coffee. You can measure the water required with your coffee cup.

 

Pour-Over coffee units are inexpensive and easy to use. They can be bought in sizes from a single cup to four cups or more. To make coffee, you simply boil water and pour it over the coffee grounds in the filter on top. You can adjust the strength of the Java by pouring the water rapidly or slowly.
