The Qualities of a Best Drip Coffee Maker

Here I am blogging again about coffee. I have mentioned in a blog post from previous months about getting a single serve bunn home coffee maker. It is serving me well and I have no complaints about it. It really is a great, if not the best, the best drip coffee maker.

How does it work?
Drip coffee makers are the ones you commonly see used in homes. They are easy to work with and relatively cheaper to own than other coffee makers. Available in a broad selection of models, colors and sizes, there is a drip coffee maker to suit any kitchen.

Cold water from a reservoir on the coffee maker is first heated and then dripped onto coffee grounds contained within a filter assembly. That is essentially how it works. There are variations in the water temperature of the brew, the filter assembly design, and speed of the drip, so some drip coffeemakers do make better coffee than others, and it’s not necessarily a function of price

What are the qualities of a best drip coffee maker?
With BUNN coffee makers:

1. BUNN drip coffee brewers manage the water-to-coffee contact so coffee is never over extracted and bitter.
2. BUNN brewers ensure water is at a consistent brewing temperature of 200F degrees. Most brewers heat water during the brewing cycle, letting water drip slowly. BUNN brewers make sure the water hits a certain temperature before releasing it over the coffee grounds.
3. BUNN brewers use a nozzle spray to release all the water at once to make sure that coffee grounds are evenly wet to extract the most ideal flavor from them. Other drips let water go down slowly, so that there are coffee grounds that get wet and extracted first, making them over-extracted and tasting bitter.

Looking to Buy a Bunn Home Coffee Maker

You all know how much I love coffee, and I actually am still on the lookout for a perfect coffee maker for the home to fit my needs and taste. I want a coffee maker that brews coffee quick, as I need to have my coffee as soon as I get up in the morning and usually, I am the first person to wake up in our house.

I have looked and looked and found out that the bunn home coffee maker has a velocity brew line that are traditional quick brewing coffee makers!

My problem was solved! I think I will be going with this stainless coffee maker:

What’s great about BUNN coffee makers is that water is kept at the optimal brewing temperature in an internal hot water tank. This means it’s ready to brew when you are and delivers delicious, hot coffee in about 3 minutes. — this is my requirement, fast and delicious coffee in minutes!

These brewer can produce 50 oz, or about 10 cups of coffee, in one brewing, has a die cast aluminum base and a double wall, vacuum insulated thermal carafe keeps coffee warm for up to 2 hours.

It retails for $199.95 and I am sure this is a good buy!

Me and My Love of Coffee

I can say it was Starbucks and the crazy commercialism it gave to consumers with their brilliant invention and promotion of the frappucino that made me addicted to coffee, but the truth is I have been addicted to it, before I even discovered Starbucks. Back in college, when students went to the mall or to a bar after school, me and my friends would go to a coffee shop and hang out there. We were amongst college professors, med and law students.

It would be convenient for me to invest on a great coffeemaker, really. Given how much I pay for coffee every week, I am better off stocking up on coffee blend I can purchase at the grocery. I have never tried whole coffee before (read: I do not have a coffee press).

I did my research and came up with three great coffee makers under $50:

The Manual Filter Cone

This a plastic cone that sits on the top of your cup. Place a paper filter in the cone, add ground coffee and then pour hot water over the coffee grinds. Perfectly cheap!

The French Press or Press pot.

It’s simply a glass beaker with vertical sides, with a plunger that includes a mesh filter.

You can buy a French press for anything between $10 and $30, depending on the size.

Best of all, it’s easy to use and will make a better cup of coffee than many brewers that cost several times as much.

A regular drip brewer. You can use coffee pods – coffee beans in their own filter here.
