The automatic coffee maker of today is much different from the older machines that we used to utilize some time ago. Ground-breaking new technologies have made this must-have in kitchen appliances more easy to get to and handy than ever before. There are numerous different styles and types of coffee machines on the marketplace. If you think about your needs in addition to your preferences finding an automatic coffee maker will be easy as pie.
Nowadays I keep a tiny automatic coffee pot readily available for making quick cups in the afternoon. I still make use of my standard large size unit in the morning too. What I find irresistible about the larger automatic coffee maker is its handy carafe that keeps the coffee warm for hours. Every cup is as fresh as the last and I never have to be concerned about burning myself.
Save for those features you actually only need the right beans to make the ideal brew. Some automatic coffee makers claim original new ways to filter water through the system and time-released brewing but we all know that a truly good cup of java begins with the beans.
I used to have all of my coffee from instant crystals that I could just put in hot water in the morning. I am a tardy sleeper, and a heavy sleeper, not tending towards the morning hours which my job wants me to keep, so it is best if I can just get out of bed, heat some water, and throw the crystals into it. I had not even measured an automatic coffee maker at the time. Why worry about getting up early and listening to the agonizingly slow twanging of the automatic drip coffee maker as it gradually made my very much needed coffee one drop at a time? Why be worried about the measuring of ingredients, which an automatic coffee maker calls for. It seemed to me like I would always have too much coffee or too little, and then would have to deal with the odds and ends later. But with instant coffee, I could have precisely how much I wanted right away. I figured that an automatic coffee maker just would not be worth the trouble.
My approach changed when, one day, I was running late for work. Not only did I have to get up and hurry around, but also I had one more misfortune to further mess up the flood of my by now rotten morning; I ran out of instant coffee. I hardly had time to stop by the neighboring coffee drive-thru and get myself a hot cup of Joe brewed from their automatic coffee maker. I was completely shocked. The coffee made by automatic coffee makers was basically so much better than what I had been drinking at my house. There was just no comparison at all between the two, and that's a fact. I went out that day and purchased myself an automatic coffee maker after work, and have been pleased with it ever since. The added convenience of instant coffee is just purely not worth the loss in taste that you get through not using an automatic coffee maker. And, if you really must sleep to the last minute (and you know who you are out there) you can always just go on and do what I do: brew up your automatic coffee maker the night before and then leave it sitting, keeping it hot all night. The coffee will still taste just as good, and best of all, there it is waiting right there for your drinking gratification when you wake up the next morning. And if you like a truly well-built caffeine injection, there are always automatic espresso makers too.
