As any coffee lover knows, it’s all about the coffee maker. That does not mean you have to kit your kitchen out with a full coffee machine to rival your local cafe, however. There are a few different options to consider. If you’re serious about your coffee, a professional-grade machine will be a no-brainer. If you love coffee but want something simpler, there are a few other options that can work as well. In this guide, we share the three types of coffee maker to help you find the best choice.

Finding the Perfect Coffee Maker

There are three main types of coffee maker: basic, standard and professional. Your choice will come down to how often you drink coffee, the type of coffee you enjoy and how you like to enjoy your coffee.

Basic

For those who want to brew a quick cup to start the day, a coffee plunger will never do you wrong. Plungers are affordable, super easy to use and work quickly. They can be stored in even the smallest kitchen. You can even set up a small coffee station. You don’t need any electricity to use one, either (always a plus during loadshedding). 

Standard

Next, you get your standard coffee machine. These machines make one or two cups of coffee, using a filter and a drip system. They work fairly quickly and make a good cup of coffee. Some are larger than others. Others are perfect for a quick cup. They don’t take up too much space in your kitchen and can sit in a corner next to your kettle. You also get machines that make espresso as well as filter coffee. 

Professional

Then, you have your professional-grade machines that take coffee to the next level. These machines are ideal for at-home baristas. Some produce cappuccino, espresso, and regular coffee. Others use pods to create smooth, perfectly blended coffee. Some are automatic. There are a few high-quality machines to choose from, each giving you the best possible tasting coffee. They are higher in price but worth every cent if you love a good brew.
