Brew the perfect cup of coffee in the comfort of your own home. From a percolator, automatic drip or single-serve machine, the option is up to you. In the automatic drip makers you have an option to brew 10 to 12 cups, although typically a “cup” is really only 5 to 6 ounces, not 8. Then decide Thermal or Glass Carafe? The glass carafe does have a heating element that keeps the coffee hot where as the thermal does not.
You have two options on grinding the coffee beans. To purchase a separate unit or have the grinder built-in. In the separate grinder options you then need to select which style of grinder? Blade, Disc Burr or Conical Bur. The Blade uses a metal blade to chop the beans and the fineness is controlled by how long the grinder is running. The Disc Burr crushes the beans between moving disc and non-moving surface allowing for a more consistent grind. The Conical Burr cracks the bean before grinding, producing more oil from the bean which increases flavor.
