Finding the right type of coffee maker that fits your lifestyle may be just as important as finding the right type of coffee bean. Here is a list of our favorite types of coffee makers that we love to use, along with our favorite products!
1. Drip Coffee: By far, drip coffee makers are one of the most popular ways to make coffee in America. The appeal of drip coffee is not only the ease of use, but the amount of time it takes to make one to 4 cups for your average coffee drinker. It also helps that you can go on Amazon and buy a drip coffee maker for $25. If you are always on a time crunch in the mornings, these machines are the best way to go. A light roast would be a great bean to use for multiple cups from this machine throughout the day.
2. Espresso Machines: An espresso machine is one of the pricier options to make your coffee, but if you can master the technique, you will have the capability of extracting the delicious flavors of all of your favorite beans. Not only that, but being able to froth milk to make lattes, just like your favorite coffee shops, is a huge plus that can save you a little extra cash too. Using a bean like our Honduras Brew is perfect for a dark, rich flavorful espresso shot.
3. French Press: A French press is a coffee machine that soaks the grounds in hot water without a filter. This means that more oils from the coffee beans will be secreted into your brew, creating more distinctive flavors between blends. This type of coffee maker is also portable, allowing you to take it with you on your adventures and excursions. A medium roast like the Columbia Brew will help intensify the sweet flavors of this bean.
Whether you like drip, espresso or the French press, we highly recommend trying out an additional way to make your cup of coffee. It's a great way to explore your palette and enhance those flavors we all love!
