It takes some time to search for the best coffee machine and then the best coffee that will give you that satisfying rich flavor to match the delicious aroma we get from ground or freshly brewed coffee.
Buy a good coffee machine, there are many to choose from, so make sure you do a little research before you buy, get up to speed on the benefits and features of each one.
With so many different coffee makers available, there are hard choices to be made, but keep it in perspective, for home use you really don’t need all the “bells and whistles” machines you’ll find in commercial kitchens and coffee shops.
Obviously you will have cost in mind and it is also important that you consider the space you have available to accommodate your choice ok the bigger the machine the more cups you can produce with one fill of the tank but there is no point in buying that huge machine if it will not fit in your kitchen.
Another choice you’re going to have to make is whether you prefer a filter coffee maker with a carafe that keeps the coffee hot over a hot plate or an espresso machine.
With an espresso machine, there are built-in thermostats to control the water and steam pressures so your espresso or cappuccino is always at the perfect temperature.
Espresso machines offer a rotating jet milk frother that gives cappuccino, lattes, or any other frothed milk drink that foamy, creamy top.
They have removable water tanks that you can fill right from the sink and keeping the tank clean is really easy. A removable drip tray also lends itself to easy, hassle-free cleanup.
Espresso is a concentrated coffee beverage and is made by forcing hot water under pressure through finely ground coffee. Espresso often has a thicker consistency than regular filter coffee.
Due to the pressurized brewing process, all the flavors and chemicals in a typical cup of espresso will be highly concentrated, and because of this, espresso is used as a base for other coffee beverages, such as lattes, cappuccinos, macchiatos, and mochas.
Of course it depends on your individual taste but if you want some kind of recommendation my advice and I love coffee would be to go for the espresso machine.
Once you have decided on the machine you want to buy, remember that the coffee you buy for the filter coffee maker may not be the right one for an espresso machine.
You’ll need finely ground coffee for the best espresso, so again you’ll have to search the stores and find finely ground coffee along with your preferred concentration of ground coffee or coffee beans.
So take a look around and see what you can find, there are some really cool machines on the market today, my preference? Well, I’m obsessed with the DeLonghi and Gaggia range of machines and you can find more information on these, as well as some good advice on coffee in general, on my website, goodcoffeeclub.com
