What Are the Types of Coffee Makers?

There are so many questions to be had involving which coffee maker is right for you, so I would love to give you the highlights on the types of coffee makers so that you can know what to look for.

• Traditional Drip Brewer: This works in the traditional method of pushing hot water through the filtering system containing coffee grounds so that the coffee brew drips into the pot below. This is a convenient method that can be programmed and often offers a variety of features, depending on the brand.
• Piston Coffee Maker: To begin, you will boil water on your stove in the kettle. You then place your coffee grounds in the filter and pour the hot water into the container. The piston works within three minutes to push the water through the filter for your final brew product, and it works best with coarse grounds.
• Vacuum Coffee Maker: This has two stacked chambers, and the coarsely ground coffee is placed in the filter in the center. Water is poured into the bottom chamber, and you can heat this on your stove top so that the water is pushed up through the filter into the top chamber for your final product.
• Percolator Coffee Maker: You begin by placing your grinds in the filter, and the water heats and pushes through the filter within several brewing cycles to make your final percolated coffee product.

So which coffee maker is right for you? Be sure to experiment and see which tastes and flavors work best for you within a variety of complex coffee brewing systems.
