Truth be told, we’re creatures of habit. When we say ‘we’, we don’t mean the human race, we mean coffee drinkers.
Connoisseurs of cappuccinos, espresso shots, drip filter, and pod coffee each have their refined practice for achieving peak levels of caffeine, and there are different machines that align with each jive of java.
So, whether you prefer your brew in a travel mug on your morning commute or a shared pot at home on a rainy afternoon, investing in a premium coffee machine suited to your coffee ritual is worthwhile.
Read on for our curated edit of models for every kind of coffee drinker, for the espresso purist to the hands-off coffee fiend.
