What To Consider When Buying a Coffee Maker

Type: Before deciding on a certain model think about your specific needs when it comes to coffee. Depending on the favorite way you like to enjoy your coffee, you can opt either for an espresso machine or a coffee maker.

Size: Depending on how much coffee you need at once, you can select a single serve coffee maker or one that makes an entire pot of 12 cups at once. There are good and bad ones in every category, that’s why it’s recommended you read some reviews before deciding upon a certain model.

Features: Some machines come with a long list of features, some are very simple and functional. There are great products on both sides. Personally, the most important thing in a coffee maker is to do best what its name implies, namely make great coffee. Yes, for some people a timer that you can program so it awaits you with a fresh pot of coffee every morning, would be a delight. Some coffee makers come with a thermal carafe, which is a very useful feature. The thermal carafe will keep your coffee hot for hours, so you can enjoy a cup later as well.
