Coffee Makers

The best coffee maker is:

• Suitable for your needs and lifestyle
• Portable if you travel a lot
• Brews coffee quickly if you don’t have time to wait
• Able to make small or large quantities of coffee depending on your needs

Here’s how coffee makers work:

1. Add coffee to the coffee maker’s brew basket.
2. Water in the coffee maker is heated up and forced through the brew basket with the coffee.
3. The liquid drains through the coffee in the brew basket and then drips back into the pot.
4. The coffee machine repeats this during the coffee brewing process until your coffee is ready.

You do not need a coffee maker for ground coffee. Here’s how to make coffee from ground coffee without a coffee maker:

1. Boil water for your coffee.
2. Place a coffee filter over your cup.
3. Put ground coffee in the coffee filter.
4. Pour hot water through the coffee in the filter.
5. Let the coffee brew for 4 minutes before removing the coffee grounds and the filter.
