Which coffee machine or coffee machine to give preference, decide, after reading our rating.
What coffee makers and coffee machines are there, and how did we choose the best ones?
Drip coffee maker. Simple and inexpensive coffee maker with bulb. The principle of operation is that hot water drips into the filter drop by drop, passes through the ground grain, takes taste and aroma from them, and enters the flask.
Geyser coffee maker. The principle of operation of the geyser coffee maker is opposite to the drip: water rises from the bottom up in the form of a geyser, pouring in coffee. Further, it also enters a special flask. As a rule, the volume of the geyser coffee maker is small, the price also.
Rozhkovaya coffee maker. In this coffee machine, the coffee is pressed under pressure (usually 10-15 bar).
Capsule coffee machine. The principle of operation of the capsule coffee machine is similar to the horn, but the first one uses coffee in special capsules. It has both pros and cons. So, after the capsules, the coffee machine is easier to wash, there are no traces of coffee, but not everyone likes the taste of the drink.
Coffee makers are automatic and semi-automatic. Automatic do everything from grinding the grain to the dosed bay in the cup for you, semi-automatic need any extra action on your part.
When choosing, we were based on customer feedback and the characteristics of coffee makers and coffee machines. In the ranking there are both models for offices and for home use, including for a small family.
