Bean-to cup machines allow you to control the taste of the coffee you make with the press of a single button. They utilize a front-loading tank and a pump that keeps the correct pressure throughout the grinding and the brewing process. A lot of these machines are also offer perfectly texturized, barista style drinks. Reservoir Most coffee machines have a reservoir that stores the hot water needed to make. The reservoir is situated inside the machine and is typically made of glass or plastic. Some models also have an water filter to ensure that the coffee being brewed doesn't contain any impurities. When you turn the machine on the machine's pump inside it pushes water through the dispenser to the grinder, and then into the filter basket. Once the coffee grounds are ground and a spray head is able to pull them through the filter and into the cup below. As the hot water drips into the carafe it is filtered leaving an unintense layer (ground coffee with a silky sheen). Some coffee makers that are bean-to-cup can also make milky drinks, such as lattes or cappuccinos. If you love these kinds of drinks, you'll need to choose a model that has an integrated milk steam wand. This way, you can make an alcoholic drink by pressing one button!

Some of our top models will even remember your preferred settings. Hot-Water Tube The machine may appear to be doing nothing but it is doing a simple task however, it is actually working very difficult. For starters, it takes the cold water that you pour in and runs it through a tube which is connected on one side to the hole at the bottom of the reservoir, and on the other hand to the heating element in aluminum. When you switch on the machine, the heating element resistive starts to heat up. This causes the water sitting in the aluminum tube to boil. The turbulence generated by the boiling liquid creates bubbles which rise up the hole in the bottom of the reservoir and rise up the exit hose. These bubbles move hot water through the tube to the coffee maker. If you notice that your coffee maker is making odd sounds, it could mean that there is something wrong with the one-way valve. It is located in the hole at the bottom of the reservoir, or in the aluminum heating tube. Without this valve, the boiling water would return to the reservoir instead of rising through the tube. As the hot water drips down the sides, it releases the flavor of ground coffee beans. The water soaks up by the coffee beans that are ground release the oils that give the cup of joe its delicious taste. Grinder The grinder in a coffee maker grinds beans prior to making coffee to ensure freshest taste. This is crucial because coffee that is ground loses flavor and aroma very quickly.
