Bean to Cup Coffee Machines The beans you add to your coffee machine are not just seeds. They're a full spectrum of flavor. Bean-to-cup machines let you control the quality of the brew with the touch of a button. They use a front-loading water tank and a pump which maintains the proper pressure during the grinding and brewing process. Many of these machines are also serve perfectly texturized barista style drinks. Reservoir The majority of coffee machines have the water reservoir that stores the hot water that is used during the brewing. The reservoir is usually constructed of glass or plastic and is situated inside the machine. Certain models also come with a water filter to ensure that the coffee brewed doesn't contain any contaminants. When you turn on the machine the machine's pump draws water from the dispenser into the grinder before it goes into the filter basket. After the coffee grounds have been ground, a spray head pulls them through the filter before dumping them into the cup below. As the hot water drips into the carafe, it goes through the filter leaving an unintense layer (ground coffee with velvety sheen). Some bean-to-cup coffee makers can also make milky drinks, such as lattes or cappuccinos. If you are a fan of these types of drinks, you'll want to find models with an inbuilt milk steam wand. You can make drinks similar to this simply by pressing a button! The best bean-to cup coffee machines can also alter the grind settings so that you can make a perfect cup of black coffee every time. This feature is offered in the majority of coffee makers we sell at Coffee Friends. It's great if you want to get the best flavor out of each batch of beans. Some of our top models can even save your preferences for your preferred settings. Hot-Water Tube It may seem simple for coffee makers to turn an empty cup of water into a cup of hot, steaming java, but the machine is actually doing really clever work. It starts by taking the cold water you pour in and passes it through a tube that is connected one side to the hole in the bottom of the reservoir, and on the other side to the aluminum heating element. The water in the aluminum tube begins to boil when you turn on the machine. The turbulence produced by the boiling water produces bubbles that rise out of the hole at the bottom of the reservoir, and then up the exit hose. These bubbles move hot water across the tube to the coffee pot. If you're noticing that your coffee maker is making odd sounds, it could mean that something is wrong in the one-way valve. This is located in the hole at the bottom of the reservoir or inside the aluminum heating tube. This valve prevents the boiling water from returning to the reservoir and instead rising through the tube. As the hot water drips down the sides, it imparts the flavor of ground coffee beans. The ground coffee beans soak up this water and it releases the oils that make up the flavor of a delicious cup of joe. Grinder The coffee grinder machine grinds beans just before brewing, which ensures that the coffee has a fresh taste. This is vital because coffee ground in the grinder loses flavor and aroma quickly. Most fully automated models have adjustable settings that allow users to control the strength and flavor of their coffee. Some machines also include built-in milk frothing systems for latte and cappuccino, thereby increasing their versatility. The top fully-automatic coffee machines are now smarter than ever before, allowing you to control their operation using an app. This allows you to select one of 32 pre-programmed drinks at the click of an button.

Filter The most important aspect of any filter coffee machine is how well the final product tastes. Manufacturers will try to turn your head with all kinds of extra features, but if aren't certain you'll need them, you should stick to a a simple model, which will likely cost less. A timer that can be programmed - set the machine to start and brew at a set time, ideal for people who like to wake up to the scent of freshly brewed coffee. Manual milk texturing - If you love a cuppuccino, macchiato or latte, look for a machine that has a manual steam wand which will heat and froth the chosen milk to the right consistency. Bean hopper capacity - The larger the bean hopper more space you will need to fill it up. Free-standing or integrated If you're looking at a fully automated, bean to cup coffee maker, you should choose an integrated model to ensure that it blends into the design of your kitchen and doesn't take up valuable space on your worktop. On the other side, if you want to have a versatile appliance that can be moved between different rooms or at any time, choose a free-standing model. Certain models are compatible with a kettle to brew coffee on the go. This is an excellent feature if you are a commuter who often has to be hurrying out the door before you are able to make coffee.
