How Do You Buy A Coffeemaker Or Espresso Machine?
Brewing the perfect cup can start your morning off right, while downing a burned cup can make you walk sideways for hours. What type of machine is right for you depends on how rich you like your coffee, how much kitchen counter space you have and how much you consume. Step 1 Consider how much coffee you drink to determine whether you want a 4-cup or as big as a 12-cup machine. The price of coffeemakers varies greatly–anywhere from $75 for a basic model to $1,000 for one that grinds your beans, makes both coffee and espresso, and has a timer. Step 2 Want the best flavor? Go for a Moka pot, which makes black espresso on your stovetop (without foam or froth), or a French press, which makes thick and sometimes grainy coffee by hand. Drip coffeemakers are becoming more refined as well. Step 3 Determine if you have the space and cash for a big, gleaming piston-style espresso machine, or should you buy a compact and economical Krups espresso maker? Espresso machines can run from $100 to $500
