    How To Choose A Coffee Maker

    Want to know how to choose a coffee maker? When you go to buy a coffee maker there are so many choices it's hard to know which one to pick.

    To end up with a coffee maker that is perfect for you, you need to consider not only basic features, but some others you may want to keep in mind.

    The first thing you need to decide in how to choose coffee maker is what type of filter you want. Drip coffee makers offer a basket type filter or a cone shaped filter.

    As an example, Mr. Coffee brand coffee makers are known for basket type filters that swing out to put coffee in or take grounds out. With cone type filters you fill the coffee and take grounds out from the top. An advantage of cone type filters is they are less prone to spillage.

    You may also want to consider a gold tone filter to give your coffee a richer taste. These fine gold screen mesh filters allow new flavorful coffee oils in your cup but they do require regular cleaning.

    Another major consideration for how to choose a coffee maker is how convenient is the coffee pot to clean. For example, coffee makers with a pot that has a long and slender neck will be harder to clean than one with a wider opening at the top.

    If your hand can easily fit inside the coffee pot, it will make cleaning the pot very easy. But if it's hard to clean with a small opening, you may clean it less often. That will affect the taste of your coffee over time due to the build up of oils and residue.

    Another smart tip for how to choose coffee maker is look for the temperature your coffee will reach when brewing. The water temperature needs to be between 195 to 205 degree degrees Fahrenheit.

    In general, the less expensive coffee makers do not reach these temperatures but the best brand names will advertise this. If you are looking for the best coffee maker for your money, this should be a consideration. After all, you want your coffee maker to make sensible tasting coffee.

    It's easy to get really confused with all of the models and choices of coffee makers. So remember these tips the next time you go shopping so you'll know how to choose a coffee maker and get just the right one for you.
