As we already discussed, buying a good coffee maker is one of the most important purchases you will make for your home. There are so many types of machines out there! It can be hard to know which ones are best for you or how much money to spend depending on what kind of drinker you become.
Luckily, as professional drinkers (we’ve got yours!), we have some helpful information here for you. From simple pour-over models to more elaborate espresso makers, this article will talk about all of the different styles of coffee brewers and what users like about them.
Pour over
Another way to make coffee is using a pour-over method. With this technique, you use a dripper or filter attachment for your machine to create your own type of espresso.
The parts that make up the drip system are just as important as the brewer itself! You have a carafe, usually made out of stainless steel or ceramic in which to brew your drink, and then onto the dripper or filter used to add flavor and shape to the beverage.
There are many types of drippers and filters to choose from. Some only work with plain water while others have special additives such as creamers or sugars. It all depends on what flavors you want in your joe!
Types of Drippers
Chemical filters – These drop some chemicals into the water to give it an overall better taste. For instance, sugar can be added to make it more flavorful.

Paper filters – Like chemical filters, these also contain chemicals to enhance the taste of the liquid. The difference however, is that they are not pre-packaged, you need to print one yourself!

French drip
With this style, hot water is constantly dripping onto the coffee grounds as it brews, creating an increasingly strong flavor as it mixes into the drink. This is your standard pour-over method! The settings for this machine type are usually time or volume size depending on the model.
Some newer models have a second setting that controls how much foam the espresso makes–this can affect taste slightly bit so that you prefer one over the other. We recommend experimenting to see which ones you like more than others!
There are many brands that make french press coffeemakers, but almost all contain the same components. What kind of coffee maker you get will depend on whether you want a basic model or one with additional features.
American drip
The most popular type of coffee maker is the American drip machine. This style of brewer uses water to make your espresso or cappuccino. As it drips through the top, milk froth can then be added onto the drink.
There are two main variations of this coffee maker. One has a glass pot that you pour into as well as water, while the other one just has a plastic basket in which you put both. In either case, after adding the milk foam, the liquid moves down through a pipe system containing filters. These come pre-filled with various types of beans, but you can easily replace them.
This style of coffeemaker was invented in America and quickly spread across the world. Even though there are many different brands, they all have the same fundamental function.
Espresso machine
First, you will need to purchase espresso cups or coffee filters for your new espresso maker. These are typically sold in packs of twenty or so depending on how much use you get out of them.
Once you have those, you will need to buy some kind of milk frother. This is basically whatever tool you use to mix liquid with another substance to create an additional liquid.
For example, you would use creamers in tea, but if you like lattes more then we recommend using cold brewed regular milk as your creamer. Then simply pour that into your espresso cup and drink!
There are many types of milk frothing tools, but most contain buttons or levers that you push to activate it. When it works, it works beautifully, but sometimes there is too much foam which makes it hard to taste the espresso.
Drip coffee
With drip coffee, just like with espresso machines, you start by making strong roasted powder that will be mixed into hot water to make your drink.
Drip style coffeemakers usually have some sort of brew basket or container where the ground coffee sits as it drips down through a filter. Then you can add sweeteners, milk, and other flavorings to your beverage.
This is probably one of the most popular types of coffee makers because you do not need an electricity source to use one! You can simply fill the cup portion up with liquid and pour in some ground roast coffee, and you are ready to enjoy your morning pick-me-up.
Because this type of machine does not require electricity for operation, they are much more versatile than traditional espresso beverages.
