Press, One-cup and Drip Coffee Makers
admin August 31, 2009
Drip and Presses and One-Cups, oh my! When it comes to coffee makers, java junkies are spoiled for choice, so here are my thoughts on the three types.
French Press ($15 plus)
|
Pros |
Cons |
Best for |
| This is one green machine. No filters, no waste and no major energy use: Just boil water and add it to the grounds. The longer it steeps, the stronger it gets, meaning this method delivers the biggest caffeine punch. | You’d better drink fast, because the coffee tends to get cold after about 45 minutes. |
Java junkies who love the environment as much as a serious cup. |
One Cup Mini ($100 plus)
| Pros | Cons | Best for |
| We had this machine up and running out of the box, with a mug brewed in under three minutes. There is no mess or measuring. Want a different flavor change the pod. | If you don’t use your own coffee beans the pods produce a lot of waste. Some units do not have a a reservoir so you have to refill the water with each cup. | Those that wasn’t to brew a single serving. |
Drip Programmable ($120 plus)
| Pros | Cons | Best for |
| We love this coffee machines for uses every the weekends, and when guests come over. We chose one that produces 12 cups. | It is the priciest of the three options, and the hardest to keep clean. | Devoted drinkers who don’t mind some scrubbing and descaling. |
