What is the Best Coffee Maker for You?

There are hundreds of different types of coffee makers to choose

from. While each coffee maker has the same purpose of making cofee, that is not the only function they can provide as you’ll find out.

Bialetti - Moka Express

The Moka Express is one of the best style coffee makers for traditional

Italian coffee. While it may have been created in 1933, by Alfonso Bialetti, the original model is still used today with just a few minor adjustments. The current “original” model only holds around three cups of coffee, measured in expresso cups, it is more than enough for a single-person household or apartment. One of the major benefits of this Coffee maker is that coffee is made quickly and on the spot. Being able to be used on stovetops and electric tops allows it to be used in multiple types and styles of homes. One of the drawbacks however is that it is not automatic. The way this coffee maker functions is quite similar to the modern coffee maker. First, fill up the bottom of the Moka express with the amount of water needed, but not passing the safety valve. The next step is simply to place the ground coffee in the center disk and place it on the stove. However, this does require a steady watch and ear to listen when it is ready to turn off the stove. The Moka Express can make quite a mess if the water goes over the boiling point and the stove is not turned off. However, if used correctly, it can also make every morning coffee a pleasant experience to wake up to.

The Keurig K-Express coffee maker is one of the most standard kitchen

coffee makers. While at first glance some might say that there is nothing good with standard or basic due to a lack of features, there is nothing wrong with a classic coffee maker. Sure the Keurig K-express might not have a fancy history like the Moka Expresso or the customizability of portions and temperature as the Cuisinart SS-15BKSP1 Coffee Center. What it does have are a decent price and simple use. Unlike the Moka, the Keurig K-Express is an automatic coffee maker so it doe not have to sit on a stovetop and be watched, getting rid of an overspill possibility. Unlike the Cuisinart SS-15BKSP1 Coffee Center, the Keurig K-Express is quite portable and compact, allowing for it to be placed on any table regardless of size. It uses the K-cup system which gives consumers an infinite amount of options for how they want coffee to taste. The system itself can hold up a seven-inch tall mug and hold about 42 ounces of water, around four cups of coffee, before needing to be refilled. The K-express also has the option to pour for an 8, 10, or 12-ounce cup with a simple button design. At an almost 80-dollar price tag, this coffee maker can become a great investment.

The Cuisinart SS-15BKSP1 Coffee Center is quite a sight to behold.

Unlike the Moka express or the Keurig K-express, this coffee maker does not just make one cup at a time. Instead, it can serve up to 12 cups of coffee in a huge pot. Along with another whole cup at the same time. It also then combines both methods of coffee grounds and K-cup for optimal coffee making allowing even more options than the coffee makers before. This coffee maker is divided into two sections. The smaller section is basically a full version of the Keurig K-express attachment with a 40-ounce water reservoir. The larger section is able to make a full 12 cups of coffee and gives options on how to make it. While the coffee is being made consumers can also change the temperature output of the coffee, the brew or warm lever, and even self-cleaning options. As well as a light, medium, or dark roast. One of the problems with this coffee maker however is its bulkiness. It is by no means slim or lightweight and requires a steady large table or kitchen counter. The ability for it to hold 12 cups of coffee means that the larger section also has to be filled with the equivalent amount of water which can be quite the hassle when trying to make large batches of coffee.
