What Are The Different Types of Coffee Makers?

When it comes to your coffee brewing choices, there are about four when you break them up into categories. Make your decision based on your needs and which method will work best for your daily life!

1. French Press: This is the preferred coffee brewing method because it does not use a paper filter, but you instead plunge the grounds down that are being steeped in hot water. This will give a more bold taste to your brew because the essential oils remain in the final brew product.

2. Stovetop Coffee Maker: These brewers are sometimes called Mokapots, and they have two chambers, which you can heat on your stovetop. The bottom chamber will have cold water and the coffee grounds, and when it is heated, it will push to the top chamber for the final brew product. Again, a great taste because paper filters are not used.

3. Vacuum Coffee Makers: This type of brewing uses a vacuum method, where two chambers made of glass are placed on top of each other. The lower chamber will hold the water, which will start to boil. The vacuum mechanism will then pull the boiling water up to the top chamber through the coffee grounds to extract for the final brew product. A delicious taste because no paper filters are used!

4. Traditional Drip Brew Coffee Maker: This is something you may be more familiar with because you can find these in almost every home. This will offer you time saved and convenience because you can often program them to brew 24 hours in advance. The only catch is the use of paper filters which will affect the taste of the coffee because there will be no essential oils in the final brew.

So which one is best for you? Find everything you are looking for in home and commercial coffee makers on my website today!
