How to choose a coffee makerThe taste of freshly brewed coffee depends not only on the quality, grind and type of coffee beans, but also on the method of preparation. Various types of coffee machines and modern high-tech coffee machines are used to automate this process.

The operation of a drip coffee maker is based on the slow filtration of very hot water through the powder of ground coffee, which is filled in a special container. The secret of brewing a coffee drink is in the water flow rate, that is, the slower the filtration, the more aromatic and strong the coffee. Hence the disadvantage, when the filtration process is slow, the water has time to cool down. To eliminate this problem, drip coffee makers use warming pads for the flask with ready-made coffee.

Carob-type coffee makers are quite popular, allowing you to prepare an aromatic and tasty drink not only from pure natural ground coffee, but also with the addition of milk and cream. An important disadvantage of this coffee maker is the process of filling the cone itself. You can't do without practical skills. It also matters what material the horn is made of. If it is a metal, then the coffee powder warms up well, the coffee drink retains its aroma and high taste. If the horn is made of plastic, and sometimes it is, then no way to get rid of the sour taste.

The capsule-type coffee maker allows you to quickly and easily prepare aromatic drinks and does not require any special experience. Its work is based on the process of brewing coffee powder packed in a special factory-made capsule. Foil packaging preserves the natural taste and great aroma of freshly ground coffee. The only thing that is required is the regular purchase of coffee capsules from the store.

How to choose a coffee makerFurther improvement in the automation of the coffee brewing process led to the emergence of combined coffee machines that combine the functions of a coffee grinder and a coffee maker. In such a household appliance, the whole process consists of two stages. The coffee beans are poured into the grinder, where they are ground and poured into the cone. At the end of this procedure, the horn must be taken out, the coffee powder must be tamped and placed in the coffee maker, where the coffee brewing process itself takes place. The advantage of this unit is the ability to use not only ground coffee, but also natural coffee beans... The disadvantage is low process automation.

Modern high-tech coffee machines represent a completely different level of automation when you just need to select a program, pour water and add coffee beans. And in thirty - forty seconds get a cup of aromatic coffee of the ordered strength. A fast and high-tech process allows you to preserve the biologically active components of coffee beans.

Smart coffee machine itself will give a signal when it detects that the coffee beans are running out and it is necessary to replenish their supply. A beep will remind you to add water or remove coffee grounds. By the way, for the preparation of the next portion of coffee, only pure water is always used, all residues of stagnant water are removed automatically. Electronic memory is able to save order parameters. The only drawback of such a wonderful technique can only be considered a high price, but the future, of course, belongs to it.
