What is coffee machine coffee?

Hot water is poured over ground coffee where it absorbs the flavours and oils of the beans. It then gradually drips through a filter into a mug or container below. It’s as simple as that. A premium option for anyone who prefers coffee maker style coffee is the Nespresso Vertuo machine. It has the ability to make larger volumes of coffee with less caffeine. It uses a similar brewing process to drip coffee known as centrifusion. The added bonus of this machine is that it can also make espresso for when you need a stronger drink.

The difference between espresso machines and coffee makers

It’s all in the brewing method.

Roasting

Filter coffee beans are roasted with the brewing method in mind. The beans tend to be much lighter which preserves the acidity of the bean. In contrast, espresso roasts are usually much darker, and richer in flavour. This creates the intense flavour that espresso is famous for and also provides the strength of coffee required for mixing with milk to create cappuccinos and lattes.

Brewing

The finer grind of espresso coffee means that an espresso machine brews and pours within about 30 seconds. In contrast, the coarser grind of drip coffee means you may have to allow up to ten minutes of brewing time.

Price

The coffee maker is almost always the cheaper option due to its simple function and limited features. But if it is a barista style coffee that you are seeking it’s well worth investing in a quality espresso machine.
