Coffee makers have come into existence 200 years back. With years of developments on it now coffee makers are available in a variety with different brewing styles and each style assures you an entirely different taste of the coffee made. A coffee machine is a kitchen appliance that is used for brewing coffee in general. It comes in a range from simple percolators to the highly advanced drip makers.
In the early days it was the percolator type that was popular and then after years of developments was the modern filter type coffee maker developed. The present stage has a lot of coffee makers to choose from. It includes Percolators, Automatic Drip Coffee Makers, French Press or Plunger and Greek or Turkish Briki. Percolator pots are one of the favourite methods as it’s convenient for serving too. It has a pot and a reusable metal filter basket. The water is poured to the pot and the medium coarse ground coffee to the filter. As the water boils it passes through a tube through the filter and dips back to the pot again. The process is repeated until the brewing is complete.
In automatic drip coffee makers the water is poured over coffee grounds contained in a filter and absorbing the oils and essences from it pass to a pot below. The coffee grounds are retained in the filter keeping the dripping process on and collecting it to a pot. In French Press or Plunger the hot water is poured into a carafe and coarse ground coffee is added to it and a lid is put on it. Once the coffee is brewed for 3-4 times the lid is pressed and this forces the coffee grounds to the bottom leaving the coffee on top.
In Greek or Turkish Briki it comes with a long handled pot with a brass, copper or stainless steel container. Being slender at the top and wider at the bottom the ibrik pots are usually small. But now they are available in different sizes to satisfy the needs of the number to be served. It has a grooved lid for pouring the coffee. This coffee is renowned for the foam it gives in its coffee and that’s the highlight of Greek or Turkish Briki
Working of coffee makers are similar, they have a small bucket to hold the water to be boiled for coffee and a black tube for passing the hot water to be dripped. This water then passes through the ground coffee and is dripped and collected to a pot beneath. Depending upon the purpose of making coffee the coffee maker is chosen and every different type offers a distinct taste and that is guaranteed.
