Coffee Machine

Best coffee machine, now there’s a question worth pondering, but just hold your horses a sec, because the question “Westpoint – Professional Coffee Maker WF-2025” really isn’t anywhere near as simple as it may seem. It’s actually one of the most difficult questions you could ask me, and when I get emails like this from my fellow coffee botherers (coffeeblog readers, so that’s you now), these are actually the emails that take the longest for me to answer.

But fear not, because I decided to put my usual answer to this question into a blog post so that I can, first of all, impart the wisdom that I like to share with my readers when it comes to taking a step back and answering a slightly different question, and secondly Westpoint – Professional Coffee Maker so that I can then give you my specific suggestions for the best coffee machines, once that first important step has been taken care of.

So by the time you’re done reading this post, you’ll understand why the very simple-sounding question “coffee maker machine” is so much more complex, but more importantly, you’ll end up knowing which type of coffee machine you’re looking for, and hopefully, you’ll end up with a shortlist of a few great potentials.

Why the best coffee machine question is so complicated

I’ll cover this in more detail as we go along, but firstly I just wanted to give you a quick nutshell explanation to explain why the answer is not as simple as you may have expected.

There are certain items that you might buy, that a simple “coffee maker price in pakistan” question may work – although if consider this, there aren’t actually many. For example, if you’re thinking of buying a new hoover, and you ask the question which is the best hoover – you then face another question, which type? Do you want a corded cylinder, a cordless upright, or a cordless stick? After that there are more questions, what’s the most important, battery life, suction power, dealing with pet hair, price?

If you were thinking about buying a best coffee maker, you wouldn’t ask which is the best car, you’d usually be looking for the best hatchback, the best SUV, or whatever type of car you need, and again, there are many other considerations.

When it comes to coffee machines, however, best coffee maker for house use it’s actually more complicated than this, because it’s not just about which type of coffee machine, there are different kinds of coffee, and therefore different kinds of coffee machines, but then there are subtypes, too, and it’s actually a much more complex decision that many people expect it to be.

Do you want an espresso machine, a filter coffee machine, a pod/disk machine, a bean to cup espresso machine, an integrated grinder traditional espresso machine, a stand-alone espresso machine, and grinder setup, do you want pressurised baskets, do you want traditional baskets, do you want both?

The chances are, you’ve just read the above and to most of these questions you’ve thought “no idea”, and this is why “best dual coffee maker” is such a tricky question to answer, as you need to understand enough about coffee machines first in order to ensure you’re considering the specific kinds of coffee machines that will give you what you’re looking for.

But, don’t worry, I’ll explain all of this and I’ll make it very simple – mostly because I am very simple ;-), I just happen to have learned a bit about coffee machines.

Why buy a coffee machine?

I’ve actually just edited this paragraph after a quick chat with a lady in the cafe at the gym I go to.

I go to the gym every morning before I start blogging, and my new office and youtube studio (I’m moving to a new location mainly because the previous studio was right under a landing flight path, which was slightly problematic) is about 10 mins drive from home.

I take hard-boiled eggs with me which I usually scoff as my breakfast on the way here after the gym, but this morning I left them on the table, mainly because I’m a complete buffoon. So rather than drive home, I had breakfast at the cafe’ – but I won’t drink their coffee, because the last time I had a flat white there they served me a flat shite, basically a slightly stronger cappuccino with milk steamed to the temperature of the earth’s core.

When the lady serving me asked me if I wanted coffee, I answered “no thanks”, and I explained this is because I have an espresso machine in my office. I didn’t want to say the real reason was that their coffee is crap, and I didn’t want to bore her with the fact that the reason that I have espresso machine(s) in my office is that I write about them.

Her reaction, though, was “wow, what a fantastic investment, I’ll bet that saves you a fortune”.

Conclusion 

This took me by surprise to some degree because saving money wouldn’t usually be the first reason I’d give for the “why buy a coffee machine” question, but actually, she’s right. For many people, one of the main reasons to buy a coffee machine would be to save money, especially right now when everything appears to be costing us more and more.

My usual answer to why you’d want to buy a coffee machine is to allow you to enjoy better quality, freshly brewed coffee, at home or in the office, but this lady helped me gain enlightenment this morning where this question is concerned, and my answer to this question now is to simultaneously save money and enjoy better quality coffee at home or in the office.
