Bean to Cup Coffee Machines
The beans that you pour into your coffee maker aren't just seeds. They're a full spectrum of flavor. Bean-to cup machines allow you to control the taste of the brew with the press of a single button.
They make use of a water tank that is filled from the front, and a pump to ensure the proper pressure during the grinding and brewing processes. Some also offer perfectly texturized milk to make barista-style drinks.
Reservoir
The majority of coffee machines have reservoirs that hold the hot water needed to make. The reservoir is housed within the machine and is usually constructed of plastic or glass. Some models include a water filtering system to ensure the coffee is free of impurities.
When you turn on the machine, a pump in the machine pumps water from the dispenser through the grinder and into the filter basket. When the coffee grounds are ground, a spray head pulls them through the filter and into the cup below. The hot water is pushed through the filter, leaving behind a thin layer of crema (ground coffee with a silky sheen) as it drips into the carafe.
Some coffee makers that are bean-to-cup can create milky drinks such as cappuccinos or lattes. If you like these kinds of drinks, it's best to look for a model that has a built-in milk steam wand. You can create drinks similar to this with just a single touch!
The best bean-to cup coffee machines can also be adjusted to grind settings so that you can enjoy the perfect cup of black coffee every time. This feature is available on the majority of models of coffee machines we sell at Coffee Friends and comes in useful if you're trying extract the best flavor of every batch of beans. Some of our top models will even remember your favorite settings.
Hot-Water Tube
It may seem simple for the coffee maker to turn the cup of water into a carafe full of hot java steaming hot, but the machine is performing amazing work. For starters, it takes the cold water you pour in and runs it through a tube which is connected on one side to the hole in the bottom of the reservoir, and on the other, to the heating element in aluminum.
When you turn on the machine the resistive heating element starts to heat up and causes the water in the aluminum tube to boil. The bubbles created by the boiling water rise up through the opening in the reservoir's bottom, and over the hose that exits. The bubbles carry hot water up the tube to the coffee maker.
If you're noticing that your coffee maker is making strange sounds, it could mean that something is not right with the one-way valve. It is either located in the hole at the bottom of the reservoir or the aluminum heating tube. Without this valve, the boiling water would return to the reservoir instead of rising up the tube.
The hot water that is sprinkled into the filter basket, and over the ground beans will carry the flavor of the grounds with it as it drips down the sides of the container. The water soaks up by the coffee beans in the ground and releases the oils that give the cup of joe its delicious taste.
Grinder
A coffee machine's grinder grinds beans prior to making coffee to ensure fresh taste. This is because ground coffee quickly loses its aroma and flavour. The majority of fully automatic models have adjustable settings that allow users to control the strength and taste of their coffee. Some machines come with built-in milk frothers for latte and cappuccino. This increases their versatility.
