Drip Maker
The most widely used coffee pot , works by placing coffee in a filter
and placing it inside of the container which holds water. The water is
heated and pumped through the coffee where it then drips into the pot
below. Water temperature is controlled
internally to maintain a temperature just below boiling. Boiling coffee
tends to produce a bitter taste which is undesirable to most people.
These drip pots come with many features which include clocks, alarms,
and delayed timers. Most offer the benefit of setting the timer to go
off about the time you usually get up in the morning. It is very
pleasing to wake up to the smell of freshly brewed coffee.

Vacuum coffee
Many people still enjoy the tradition of vacuum coffee pots because the
pots offer interesting shapes and designs. An early variation of this
principle is called a balance siphon. This implementation has the two
chambers arranged side by side on a balance-like device, with a
counterweight attached to the heated chamber These
pots work on the theory that steam creates a vacuum which draws the
water and steam through the coffee grounds without distributing the
grounds throughout the coffee. most of the coffee grounds will be
filtered out , although some may remain in the water. The process is
similar to the percolator with the exception of the repeated pumping
action required of the percolator. |
French press
A
French press, or a press pot, coffee press, coffee plunger ,
is a coffee brewing device popularized by the French. Its operation is
simple and it produces a stronger coffee than other devices.
A French press consists of a narrow cylindrical jug usually made of
glass or clear plastic, equipped with a lid and a "plunger", made of
metal or plastic, which fits tightly in the cylinder and which has a
fine wire or nylon mesh acting as a filter. Coffee is brewed by placing
the coffee and water together, leaving to brew for a few minutes, then
depressing the plunger to trap the coffee grinds at the bottom of the
jug.

Drip brew
By
pouring water over roasted, ground coffee beans contained in a filter.
Water seeps through the coffee, absorbing its oils and essences, solely
under gravity, then passes through the bottom of the filter. The
used coffee grounds are retained in the filter with the liquid falling /
dripping into a collecting vessel such as a carafe or pot. Brewing with
a paper filter produces clear, light-bodied coffee, which is free of
sediments, but lacking in some of coffee's oils and essences, which are
trapped in the paper filter.
