Bean to Cup Coffee Machines
The beans you put in your coffee maker aren't just seeds. They're a full spectrum of flavor. Bean-to cup machines let you control the flavor of the coffee you make with the click of a button.
They employ a front-loading water tank and a pump that maintains the right pressure throughout the grinding and brewing process. Many of these machines are also offer perfectly texturized, barista style drinks.
Reservoir
Most coffee machines come with a reservoir that holds the hot water used to brew. The reservoir is typically constructed of glass or plastic and is located within the machine. Certain models also come with a water filter that ensures that the coffee brewed doesn't contain any impurities.
When you turn on the machine the machine's pump will pump water from the dispenser into the grinder and into a filter basket. Once the grounds have been ground, they are pushed through the filter by a spray head and into the cup underneath. As the hot water drips into the carafe, it is filtered leaving behind a thin layer (ground coffee with velvety sheen).
Some bean-to cup coffee makers can create milky drinks like cappuccinos and lattes. If you love these drinks, try one with a built-in steam wand. You can create drinks similar to this with just a single touch!
The top bean to cup coffee machines also allow you to adjust the grind settings so you can make a perfect black coffee every time. This feature is offered in all models of coffee machines that we sell at Coffee Friends. It's great if you want to get the best flavor from each batch of beans. Some of our top models will even remember your preferences.
Hot-Water Tube
The machine may appear to be performing an easy task however, it's actually working very hard. In the beginning, it takes the cold water that you pour into it and then passes it through a tube which is attached on one side to the hole at the bottom of the reservoir and on the other, to the aluminum heating element.
The water inside the aluminum tube begins to boil when you turn on the machine. The turbulence caused by the boiling water produces bubbles that rise up through the hole in the bottom of the reservoir and rise up the exit hose. These bubbles carry hot water across the tube to the coffee maker.
If you notice that your coffee maker is making odd sounds, it could indicate that there is something wrong with the one-way valve that is either in the hole at the bottom of the reservoir, or in the aluminum heating tube. This valve prevents the boiling water from flowing back into the reservoir and instead rising through the tube.
As the hot water drips down the sides, it is carrying the flavor of the ground coffee beans. The water absorbs the ground coffee beans release the oils that give the cup of joe the delicious taste.
Grinder
The grinder of a coffee machine grinds beans just before brewing, which ensures that the coffee is fresh in taste. This is because coffee ground quickly loses its aroma and flavor. The majority of fully automated models allow users to alter the settings to customize the taste and strength of their coffee. Some machines have built-in milk frothers for latte or cappuccino. This allows them to be more flexible.
