Choose a Coffee Maker

Choose a Coffee Maker

Take a moment to consider the different techniques for brewing coffee before selecting your coffee maker.

• French press: The French press, also known as coffee plungers, is a fast way to make a cup or two of freshly brewed coffee. Coffee grounds and water are first steeped together in a container, and then the grounds are filtered from the coffee using a press or plunger.

• Drip coffee maker: Use ground coffee beans in a drip coffee maker to make full pots of coffee quickly and easily. In most drip coffee makers, water is distributed evenly over ground beans to produce intense flavoured coffee.

• Percolator: Make coffee the old fashioned way with a percolator. Some newer models come with useful features such as being programmable and cordless.

• Pod coffee maker: Pod coffee makers use high pressure to force hot water through a pod of ground coffee beans. Fast and convenient, each pod usually gives you a single serving of coffee and only takes a very short time to brew.

• Vacuum style coffee maker: Vacuum style coffee makers make use of two stacked glass containers and have a vintage feel. There are also some which feature modern technology, such as a timer.

• Stovetop coffee maker: If you are only brewing coffee for one or two people, look into stovetop style coffee makers. Some consider its shape and style more elegant. 

Select the right electric coffee maker

Decide on which features are most important to you before buying your coffee maker so you can get the most out of it and enjoy it more.

• Coffee pot size: Keep in mind how many cups you want to brew. Pod coffee makers or small pots that come with flavour enhancing features are good choices if you are only planning on brewing small batches. There is a large variety of coffee pot size available, from single serve to 12 cup models.

• Dual brewing: Also called a double pot system, a dual brewing station enable you to make two pots of coffee simultaneously. It is ideal for people who wants to make regular and decaf, or two different types of coffee at the same time.

• Programmable: If you would like your coffee to be ready when you wake up, choose a programmable coffee machine.

• Built-in grinder: Go for a coffee machine with a built-in grinder if you prefer making coffee with freshly grinded coffee.  

• Thermal carafes: Thermal carafes keep your coffee hotter and longer without the risk of your coffee getting burnt. They are also portable as they do not make use of a burner.

• Glass carafes: Glass carafes make it easy for you to see when the coffee is ready or running low. Commonly used in electrical coffee makers, the coffee is kept warm by a hot plate or other heating unit. Some models even have adjustable heating units so you can specify the temperature of your brew.

When deciding on which type of espresso machine best suits your style, take into consideration ease of use and controllability.

• Manual espresso machines: When it comes to brewing espresso, a manual espresso machine is the choice of espresso purists. Although some skill is required to use a manual espresso machine, some people take pleasure in the preparation process.

• Semi-automatic espresso machines: The popular semi-automatic espresso machine offers ease of use while allowing control over the finished product. You can adjust the temperature, brewing pressure, and tamp.    

• Automatic espresso machines: Often found in cafes and restaurants, fully automatic espresso machines are even easier to use than semi-automatics and will brew up espresso with just one touch of a button.

• Super-automatic espresso machines: For a quick caffeine hit, go for a super-automatic espresso machine. These machines hurry the process, from grinding to tamping to pre-infusing to brewing.

Whether you’re making coffee or espresso, the right grinder and accessories can help you make the perfect cup.

• Coffee grinders: For more flavourful espresso and coffee, use a coffee grinder to grind your beads fresh. If you are not planning on making espresso, opt for a blade grinder and save yourself some money. Otherwise, go for a burr grinder which lets you select the exact fineness or coarseness of your grind.

• Coffee and tea: Shop eBay Australia for your favourite variety of coffee beans, tea and a hot water dispenser for quick tea preparation.
