Sooner or later we all have to make time for that dreaded chore: finding a new coffee machine. OK, so maybe it's not that dreaded of a chore, but still, given the slew of coffee machines, single cup coffee machines, presses, and percolators on the market, it could definitely be the kind of rabbit hole that takes a couple of hours to get out of. The key is understanding your coffee drinking and coffee making habits.
Sure, everyone tends to make a beeline to the cheapest machine and call it a day. If you're the kind of coffee drinker that grabs the cheapest can on the shelf and head home, then by all means, grab away and go. But, if you have even a modicum of taste and sophistication, you will appreciate taking time to compare and contrast brands, machines, and costs.
If you will forgive the pun, it all boils down to simple economics. They brew less, use less, and tend to cost less. So, in that regard, less is more. Instead of opting for the bigger-is-better model, you could be significantly impacting your bottom line by choosing a single cupper. If the mere notion makes you nervous, rest assured most models can brew two or more cups at a time.
The ideal coffee machine is the one that best suits your lifestyle and drinking capacities. Moreover, the ideal machine is the one that provides the best filtering systems. You see, how the water is filtered can significantly impact the flavor of the coffee. You should look for double or triple filter systems, though they will cost your little more. Most coffee makers simple draw the water you pour in through a heating element and call it a day. Not bad, but not optimal.
Who isn't looking for the optimal unit? I mean, optimal is what you're looking for. No one strikes out and wades through the crowds to find a machine that's good enough. Granted, if cost is a primary concern, then you will make the best of it. But, if you have some leeway in terms of price, then don't be afraid to compare, contrast, and kick the proverbial tires. Your morning cup of coffee is at stake.
