Automatic Coffee Brewer

The Best Coffee Maker For You

The best coffee maker need not be expensive! Work out which features you need in an automatic coffee brewer and then shop around. You will probably find several coffee machines in a wide price range, from modestly priced brands to luxury brands. To ensure that you spend your money wisely, first work out the features that fit your requirements best.

Coffee Brewing Size

How much coffee do you actually drink in a normal day? And how many people in your house are coffee drinkers? If the machine will only be used once or twice a day then a single-cup coffee maker or two-cup coffee maker is the ideal choice. For a machine that will brew several cups of coffee at a time, get the larger size makers. Identifying the coffee machine size significantly narrows down the field.

Coffee Technology

Do you want an automatic coffee brewer or do you want to go with the manual option? For a person who is always on the go, a programmable automatic coffee brewer is a great choice as it integrates one touch technology.

Budget

Set your budget before going shopping (online or otherwise) and keep it in mind so that you don’t get seduced by a beautiful shiny machine that you really have no need for.

Read Reviews

It’s always a good idea to read what other people have to say about the coffee brewer you’re about to buy. Reviews let you learn if other customers were satisfied with their purchase.

Warranty Details

As with any appliance you purchase for your home, get the details on the warranty, just in case.

Coffee Brewer Features

Learn more about the features of the coffee maker and then figure ou which ones you need. Some coffee brewers are more expensive because of the features so be sure to narrow down the field if there’s a feature you will just never make use of.

Here’s a run-down of some of the most common features:

Fits most vehicle cup holders

some coffee makers are designed with your morning cup o’ joe in the car in mind. Is this you? If your one and only cup of the day is drunk while behind the wheel then this feature is a must have.

Reusable permanent filter OR Paper Filter?

Paper coffee filters (white and bleached or unbleached and brown) tend to have the best filtering ability and a lower initial cost. They do not need to be cleaned out. However they take slightly longer to insert than permanent coffee filters and have a continuing effect on the environment. Plus, you can run out of paper coffee filters. Permanent filters are available in multiple types, including nylon, cloth and gold.

Advance Timer

Set brew upto 24 hours in advance. Great for if you need an extra kick to get out of bed in the morning.
