French Press

One of the most traditional methods for making coffee,   the French press   is decidedly low-tech, but still simple to use. You simply pour in the amount of coffee grounds you want, add boiling water, and press the lid of the device down to force the grounds to the bottom. A French press is one of the cheapest types of coffee makers available for you to make your own coffee at home. Not only can skip buying filters, but it uses absolutely no electricity. And depending on the size and brand you buy, the device itself can cost as little as $10. The coffee produced by the French press isn’t always as flavorful as that of some of the other options, especially if you don’t let it brew for just the right amount of time. And you’re more likely to get some loose grounds floating in your cup. So, while for the frugal it’s an obvious choice, for those at all particular about the quality of their morning cup of joe, it might not make the best option. Benefits: This type of co...

Drip Coffee Maker / Coffee Brewer

The coffee brewer, sometimes called an automatic drip coffee maker, is easily the most common type of coffee maker you will find in homes across the world. This type of coffee maker can come in a number of shapes and sizes, but when you hear someone talk about making a pot of coffee (e.g. several cups at once), they’re usually going to be using a coffee brewer.
These familiar machines are very easy to use. You load up a coffee filter with your choice of ground coffee, put it in the allotted spot, add water, and start the coffee maker. For some drip coffee makers, this process is even easier than that. You can make the coffee as strong as you prefer and return to the pot for refills until it’s done (or no longer fresh enough to meet your tasting standards). These drip coffee makers aren’t just common in homes, they’re also the type you’ll see the most often in office break rooms and many types of restaurants.
This type of coffee maker is not only affordable to buy, it’s also affordable to use. Filters are cheap to buy and will last for a long time. And ground coffee both come pretty cheap (unless you choose to splurge on more high-end brands of the latter). You can also buy bags of whole bean coffee and use a coffee grinder to grind it yourself.

Benefits:

  • Extremely easy to use.
  • Affordable to buy and use on a daily basis.
  • Very convenient, as it makes a whole pot of coffee at once.
  • Lots of options for different models, shapes, sizes and brands.
  • Offers easy flexibility in brewing the best-tasting coffee for your taste buds.

To Keep in Mind:

  • Only makes basic coffee. Nothing fancy, and likely won’t be satisfactory for those that prefer espresso drinks.
  • Makes a lot at once. While a benefit, there may be instances where you end up wasting a lot of coffee.

Single-Serve Coffee Maker / One Cup Coffee Maker

One of the newest types of coffee makers on the market, single-serving coffee makers are sometimes referred too as pod coffeemakers because that’s what you use to make the coffee –   single-serving pods or K-cups. You can buy pods in all sorts of different flavors that are tailored to meet your personal preferences, and then simply drop them into the machine, add water, and brew. Automatic drip coffee makers were already convenient and easy to use, but single-serving models are even more so. You don’t have to worry about messy coffee grounds or filters, so you skip a couple of the steps common to making coffee in a more traditional brewer. There’s also less clean-up as the pod gives you coffee, but the grains stay contained within. While the over all cost will range based on features and brands, single-serving coffee makers tend to be affordable to buy, but can be more expensive to use over time. The pods you use with this type of machine tend to be more expensive than simply...
