Coffee Maker
Frequently Asked Questions
How should I choose a coffee maker?
The main types on the market are drip, moka pot (stovetop), capsule, automatic espresso machines, and French press. Choose based on your needs: drip for simplicity, and espresso for flavor.
How does a drip coffee maker work and who is it for?
Water is heated and passes through coffee in a filter, and the brewed beverage collects in a carafe drop by drop. It is designed for those who want to prepare a large amount of coffee easily and all at once.
What capacity and material are optimal for the carafe?
A 1–1.5 liter carafe is optimal for families. Regarding material, borosilicate glass is best (it does not alter the taste), or stainless steel (it maintains temperature).
What grind of coffee should be used?
A medium grind is required for drip coffee makers. A very fine grind will clog the filter, while a very coarse grind will result in a watery taste.
Why is the auto-off function important?
It ensures safety and energy efficiency: it prevents overheating and unnecessary electricity consumption once the coffee brewing process is complete.
