The Surge in Popularity of Home Coffee Makers
By James McDonald

People have been brewing and drinking coffee for centuries. It was a staple of many people’s diets back then and remains a popular beverage in today’s times. With the availability of specialized coffee drinks in shops all around the world, it has never been easier than it is to get any flavored coffee drink you can imagine. The downside to this is it is quite expensive to buy a cup at your local shop every day.

One way to combat these rising costs is to buy your own coffeemaker. This will allow you to brew and enjoy coffee just the way you like it in your own home. Today’s coffee makers are highly advanced with such features as programmable timers, auto shut off, premade coffee pods, thermal carafes, and much more. It is quite easy to set your coffee machine up to begin brewing before you wake up every morning. By the time you get to the kitchen you will have a warm pot ready to go.

The somewhat cumbersome setup and cleanup tasks that traditional drip coffee makers come with have been addressed as well. If you don’t enjoy doing these chores then you could look into a pod based machine like those made by Keurig. With these coffeemakers, you purchase premade pods that slip right into the machine with no mixing of grounds at all. These pods are relatively inexpensive and come in a huge variety of flavors to satisfy just about any coffee lovers tastes. And the good thing about them is they are becoming so popular that other companies make interchangeable pods as well. [Read more…]
