Filter Coffee Machines – Buy the Right Coffee Machine Online

For some people, filter coffee is the best, or even the only, way to start the day. The most classic of all preparation methods is to make yourself an aromatic filter coffee. The brewing process is very simple, but only a few coffee makers can prepare filter coffee that tastes like it was brewed by hand. Their big advantage over other brewing methods is the quick and easy preparation of large quantities of coffee. A coffee maker also makes sense from an ecological point of view, as there is no waste other than a paper filter and coffee grounds.

How to Find the Right Coffee Maker for You

Elektrische Kaffeemaschinen funktionieren im Allgemeinen alle nach dem gleichen Prinzip: Filter mit gemahlenem Kaffee befüllen, Wasser in den Tank einfüllen und einschalten. Zusätzliche Funktionen wie Tropfstopp, Timer usw. sollten immer nach Ihren eigenen Vorlieben und Anforderungen ausgewählt werden.

Taste

We are big advocates of manual brewing methods, because they allow you to control all the important factors of preparation, such as water temperature and brewing speed. That's why we only sell machines that have impressed us with their coffee taste quality.

Tips, tricks, and step-by-step instructions for preparing filter coffee can be found here.

Brewing Process

For us, the brewing technique is more interesting than the performance of a machine, because it is decisive for the subsequent taste of the filter coffee. To prevent the coffee grounds from burning during the brewing process, the water should not be boiling hot when it hits the ground coffee, but should have a constant temperature of approx. 96 °C. Filter coffee machines such as the Wilfa Classic CMC-100S and the Moccamaster are equipped with a flow heater that strictly adheres to this rule for good coffee. The hot water is dripped onto the ground coffee in bursts via a spray head. This enables gentle and even extraction.

Keep Warm

A particularly popular feature of filter coffee machines is the keep-warm function. Coffee machines with glass jugs are usually equipped with a hot plate that keeps the coffee warm for a certain amount of time. It is important to ensure that this plate does not exceed a maximum temperature of 85 °C, otherwise the coffee will lose its flavor. Machines with thermos jugs do not require a warming plate. The coffee drips from the filter holder directly into the jug and stays warm there for several hours. This preserves the aroma and ensures that hot coffee is always ready to drink for a longer period of time.

Capacity

If you drink a lot of coffee or share the machine with several people, you should pay attention to the capacity. The Moccamaster KGBT741 (with thermos jug) and the Moccamaster KGB Select (with glass jug) can hold 1.25 liters – enough for around 7–10 cups of coffee.

Workmanship

The quality of a machine's workmanship says a lot about its service life. Stainless steel machines are usually better made and more robust than plastic machines. The Moccamaster is handmade in the Netherlands – and the manufacturer even offers a 5-year warranty on top of that. Removable parts make cleaning easier and ensure even longer durability and usability.

Conclusion

Fresh filter coffee can be prepared in many different ways. A filter coffee machine can save you a lot of work. If good coffee is important to you, it shouldn't be just any machine, but exactly the right one. We only offer machines that we have tested and found to be good. Now all you have to do is decide on a design or specific additional features. Then simply order online and you'll soon be enjoying good filter coffee at home.

Recipe suggestion

To make filter coffee using a filter coffee machine, you will need:

• 1 liter of water
• 1 suitable filter
• 65 g of coffee (medium grind)

Fill the water tank with 1 l water and place a paper filter in the filter holder. To prevent paper particles and other foreign matter from getting into the coffee, rinse the paper filter with water. Fill the filter with ground coffee and start the machine.
