How to choose a coffee maker for home?

Many people like strong coffee and use it several times a day. However, not everyone knows that you need a proper coffee maker to make your favorite drink.

How to choose the right coffee maker?

The market of coffee makers is so huge that it is very easy to get confused. First of all, decide what coffee and how much you want to brew.

If you like ordinary coffee, you can choose among the drip coffee makers. They are the most common and deserve their popularity due to the ease of making coffee and affordable price.

If you want to save money, you can choose the French press or the Turkish (Jezeol). However, do not forget that even the same type of coffee when brewed in coffee machines of different types will differ in taste.

For espresso lovers, the modern market offers a lot of carob coffee makers. And there really is a lot to choose from. It remains only to find out what to look for and how to choose an espresso machine for home use.

Selection of espresso coffee machine

The espresso maker prepares coffee from ground beans, which are processed with high vapor pressure. A drink made in this way is called "espresso". And the "carob" these coffee makers are considered due to the design features. In such coffee makers, filter bags or grids for ground coffee are replaced with plastic or metal horns.

Since the work of the coffee machine is based on high steam pressure, the choice of the coffee machine for the house must begin with this parameter.

In the simplest models of espresso coffee machines, the pressure reaches 4 bar. The steam is too hot, which partially destroys the fragrance. But there is a plus - overheated steam can extract more caffeine and make coffee more invigorating. Preparation of a cup of coffee takes a couple of minutes. When choosing a coffee maker, pay attention to the size of the water tank. The coffee maker with this pressure has a capacity of 200-600 ml.

Instruments of a higher class develop pressure up to 15 bar with the help of an integrated electromagnetic pump equipped with a fuser. It takes half a minute to make coffee.

It is very important, from what material the horn is made. Metal better warms up the coffee and makes it more saturated and thick. With a plastic horn, the drink is more watery and sourish.

If you like cappuccino, look at the coffee maker with this function - they also exist.

Another parameter of the coffee machine is the possibility of using coffee in casks (capsules). This greatly simplifies the process of making espresso at home and facilitates the cleaning of the appliance. A one-time seven-gram capsule provides a high quality drink. Such coffee makers are called ESE-compatible. However, it should be noted that this additional function significantly increases the price of the coffee machine.
