The variety of filter coffee machines

The market for filter coffee machines is huge and many coffee lovers rightly ask themselves which is the best filter machine or which is the best brewing method for me and my needs? The fact is, if you appreciate the traditional preparation of your coffee with a filter, you should buy a fine coffee machine. However, there are also filter coffee machines with an integrated grinder. This means that whole beans can be used instead of coffee powder without the need for a separate coffee grinder. The beans are freshly ground by the machine before each brewing process. Another highlight of some machines is the keep-warm function via a hotplate. This means that the prepared coffee can be kept warm for several minutes at a constant high temperature.

The filter coffee machine - a real classic in a new guise

High-quality filter coffee machines are characterized by clever brewing technology and an attractive design. A filter coffee machine that is not exactly cheap and comes at a high price, but is all the more high-quality, is the one from Moccamaster from the Netherlands. It impresses with: The even wetting of the coffee grounds during the brewing process A brewing temperature between 92 - 96 °C and a short brewing time A drip stop so that the glass jug can be removed without any problems A mixing filter in the glass jug that mixes the freshly brewed coffee. A filter coffee machine with a stainless steel thermos flask is practical in several ways; it is usually larger than the classic glass jugs and is also an ideal companion when you are on the go. Of course, it keeps the coffee hot for several hours. If you do not order a filter coffee machine with a thermos flask, you should look for an integrated heating plate with a warming function for the glass jug when buying. Depending on the household and preference, it is important for some to be able to clean the pot easily in the dishwasher, while for others it does not matter whether the pot is dishwasher safe. Instead, more emphasis is placed on regularly descaling the water tank between brewing processes.

Many factors influence the taste of coffee

When you buy a coffee machine, you should consider other important factors. Of course, when buying a machine, you should pay attention not only to the quality of the machine, but also to the coffee beans, filter paper, grind, coffee powder and water. Because every factor influences the aroma, taste and consistency of a coffee.
