Automatic Coffee Brewer

Coffee is, and always has been, made by passing hot water through ground, roated coffee beans. With such a simple beverage surely there’s not much room for improvements?

Read on for my take on the top three automatic coffee brewer innovations:

Pod Coffee Makers

Well if you have ever made coffee then you’ll know, there’s always cleaning up to do afterwards! In my student days I worked in a bar where they had one of those beautiful, chrome espresso machines. It was shiny and gorgeous to look at and it made excellent coffee but it was a real pain to clean. Those grounds get everywhere!

Which is why innovation number one on my list is pod coffee makers. This innovation takes its inspiration from its rival, tea and the teabag. With coffee pods you can just pop a pod into the machine and then discard it once it has made the coffee- no muss no fuss!

One Cup Coffee Maker

Another summer job I had as a student was in an office. They had one of those standard coffee and hotplate machines. I used to love the smell of the freshly-made coffee in the morning, but once the coffee had been sitting around for a while, it was always the same -bitter coffee that had been hanging around way too long. And it always seemed like such a shame, that either coffee had to be thrown away or that people put up with over-brewed, bitter coffee.

Which is why I love the idea of the one cup coffee maker! Gorgeous, fresh coffee every time with no need to waste or put up with old, boiled coffee.

Programmable Coffee Maker

I love the change of the seasons, the smell of Fall and the feelings of possibility that Spring brings. I must admit that although I really enjoy Winter activities and the family stuff, getting out of bed in the morning can be really difficult! I live in the northern hemishere so it’s dark, it’s cold and bed seems like the best place to be!

So enter the programmable coffee maker! This little worker will get up before you in the morning and start to fill your home (or your bedroom, how much do you hate getting ou of bed??) with delicious aromas that will start to gently wake your brain up and get you used to the idea of braving the cold, dark world beyond your duvet. Being tempted out of bed with coffee is a great innovation so it makes my list.

So even though coffee has been around for hundreds of years, these three innovations make very welcome additions to the culture of mordern coffee appreciation.
