Maybe you have't decided on which one you want to buy yet and that's ok. Our website just might have the right information you are looking for.

The automatics are something very different and has down the ones to go for. These super automatic espresso machines list here are highly coveted and well worth the price. We believe you'll love these and you will probably chose one from this list.

Semi-Automatic Espresso Machines

Semi-Automatic Espresso Machines came to be thanks to Achilles Gaggia’s 1938 patent, which introduced electric pumps to devices, resulting in even, hands-free water pressure. Because operators can decide when to turn the pump on and off (hence “semi” automatic), and because boiler temperature controls are automated on these makers, this is the most popular type of traditional machine in use today.

Manual Espresso Machines

Manual espresso machines are as elegant as they are capable and are classics for a reason. This design still offers the most control over every aspect of the espresso experience. Fine tune your perfect espresso shot through grind, tamp, temperature, steam pressure and length of extraction.

They feature a boiler, steam pressure gauge, portafilter and a manual lever for controlling espresso extraction. Is it the beauty of the design that first catches your eye or the interplay the finely crafted parts that captivates your attention? You will be challenged and rewarded with a manual espresso machine in your home.

Manual espresso machines differentiate themselves from others on the market by offering unparalleled control over the brewing process. Unlike their pump driven counterparts, these machines use manually generated pressure to power the extraction process.

Manual espresso machines are like a restored car from the early 1900s — a beautiful homage to heritage, but unimaginably complicated compared to today’s most advanced models. There are no crank start mechanisms or chokes to contend with on manual espresso machines, but because they don’t maintain constant water pressure on their own, users must push water through the coffee manually, which can vary the quality of the final product. In short, these machines should be considered by experienced home baristas only.

Single-Serve Brewers Coffee Makers

The single-serve or single-cup coffeemaker has gained popularity in recent years. Single-serve brewing systems let a certain amount of water heated at a precise temperature go through a coffee portion pack (or coffee pod), brewing a standardized cup of coffee into a recipient placed under the beverage outlet. A coffee portion pack has an air-tight seal to ensure product freshness. It contains a determined quantity of ground coffee and usually encloses an internal filter paper for optimal brewing results.

The single-serve coffeemaker technology often allows the choice of cup size and brew strength, and delivers a cup of brewed coffee rapidly, usually at the touch of a button. Today, a variety of beverages are available for brewing with single-cup machines such as tea, hot chocolate and milk-based specialty beverages. Single-cup coffee machines are designed for both home and commercial use.

Coffee Makers Percolators

With the percolator design, water is heated in a boiling pot with a removable lid, until the heated water is forced through a metal tube into a brew basket containing coffee. The extracted liquid drains from the brew basket, where it drips back into the pot.

This process is continually repeated during the brewing cycle until the liquid passing repeatedly through the grounds is sufficiently steeped. A clear sight chamber in the form of a transparent knob on the lid of the percolator enables the user to judge when the coffee has reached the proper color and strength.

Coffee Makers Coffee Grinders

This selection of grinders is perfect for the avid coffee drinker that prefers to use traditional coffee beans. Grind & brew beans at home to protect the aroma of your beverage and ensure a fresh cup when you need it. Blade grinders are compact and easy to use. Burr mill design features an airtight compartment that keeps beans fresh and allows you to release the amount you want to grind to prevent spillage and waste. Manual and electric appliances are available.

Whether you are new to the world of espresso or have been making the perfect cup of coffee for as long as you can remember, fresh coffee grounds are the first step.

Take your pick from our curated collection that includes everything from entry-level coffee grinders to precision-designed espresso grinders. With reviews of each grinder, you too can master the daily grind!

Coffee Makers French Presses

This refers to a device that makes this type of coffee. Also known as a Press Pot or Plunger Pot. There are many manufacturers and the pots are readily available. Using this method will give you an excellent cup of coffee and your friends will be amused watching you prepare and brew the coffee right at your dinner table!

The French Press uses a medium to coarse grind. The grind must be large enough so that the mesh filter works and does not get clogged. Because of the larger grind, the brewing time is a bit longer than with other methods. A grind set between drip and percolator is a good place to start.

7 Tips for Making Great Iced Coffee

Summer is finally upon us and most days are just too warm for hot cup of java juice. Below are some tips to help you make a great iced coffee.
  1. Start with fresh coffee beans. A great iced coffee was never made using stale beans so avoid buying your beans on sale. If you don’t drink iced coffee often, consider buying fresh beans at a coffee shop where you can buy only the amount you need for the occasion.             

  2. Test the taste. Hot coffee tastes different than cold coffee. So to get an idea of how your coffee will taste cold let a hot cup cool to room temperature. This little test will help you decide what tastes perfect to you.

  3. Use fresh ice. Ice has a tendency to get a stale if it sits in the freezer unused for too long.  If you’re wondering whether your ice is helping of hurting your iced coffee, it’s easy to test: let a few cubes melt and come to room temperature, then taste the resulting water.  If it’s water you would want to drink by the glassful, you’re in good shape.  If not, toss out the old ice and make fresh. If it still tastes stale, buy a bag of ice, the cost is worth the boost in flavor. 

  4. Brew it strong. Brew your coffee on the strong side as it will be weakened by the ice. To keep from diluting your drink, try turning your leftover coffee into ice cubes. Use these in the place of regular ice cubes to keep your drink chilled.

  5. Try a cold brew.  Some people object to acidity in their cold coffee.  Cold brewing greatly reduces the acid content of coffee (with the same coffee it will lower the acidity one full pH point vs. hot brew).  Put 3/4 cup ground coffee in a quart Mason jar, fill with water and stir.  Cap it and put in the refrigerator for 12 hours.  Strain the resulting concentrate through a coffee filter to remove the grinds.  Add water to taste when you’re ready to drink.  You can even heat the reconstituted beverage for a quick, low-acid cup of hot coffee.

  6. Don’t use burned coffee for your iced coffee.  Saving leftover coffee for iced beverage is often fine, but don’t be tempted to use the dregs of a burnt pot. If it doesn’t taste good hot, it definitely won’t taste good cold.

  7. Add some zip to your iced coffee.  Adding fruits like strawberries, oranges, blueberries or even cherries and spices like nutmeg, cinnamon or cardamom are a great way to perk up your drink and your day. The important thing is to have fun with it! Try lots of new things. Vary your usual routine.  The worst that can happen is you won't like it. You can always try something else!
If you’re short on time and don’t have a stash of reconstituted coffee available, try this recipe using instant coffee.
