Coffee Makes The World Go Around
These days, it seems that everyone has an electric coffee maker. That’s because since their introduction in the 1800s, electric coffee makers have turned brewing coffee at home into a streamlined process. The first electric coffee makers were produced in France, and the process remains largely the same to this day. Simply add your coffee beans or grounds to the filter, pour water into the retaining chamber, press a few buttons, and within moments you have a steaming cup of coffee at your disposal.
However, things have gotten a little more complicated in the last century. With so many different brands of electric coffee maker on the market, it can be tough to decide which one is best for you. Unless you’re a coffee connoisseur, these minor differences probably don’t mean much to you, but for some they can make or break the deal. Some coffee makers take whole beans and grind them down to make your coffee taste exceedingly fresh, while others use pre-ground beans for a quicker, more convenient cup of joe.
Right now, some of the hottest electric coffee makers on the market are espresso machines. These machines generally hold anywhere from 10 to 20 cups worth of coffee at once. Often using single serving containers (K cups), espresso machines will produce a cup of coffee at lightning speed, sometimes as quickly as 10 seconds. Espresso machines are extremely convenient, but can be a bit cost prohibitive. While you can find single-cup electric coffee makers for as low as 100 dollars, their prices can extend all the way into the 500+ range. Espresso machines produce more waste than other types of coffee makers due to the disposable single-serving cups. Some popular brands are Breville, Keurig, Black & Decker, and Cuisinart.
Another style of electric coffee maker is the drip style machine. These machines will take either whole beans or coffee grounds. Drip style coffee makers heat up their water to partially boiling in a separate chamber, and then the boiling water flows over the grounds, brewing your coffee. The coffee drips out into your cup slowly, giving it its distinctive name. These are far less expensive, starting out as low as 30 dollars and extending into the 100+ range. These are the classic coffee maker, the first to be introduced commercially. Some popular brands include Hamilton Beach, Senseo, Cuisinart, Mr. Coffee, Jura-Capresso, Black & Decker, and KitchenAid.
