Cheap coffee machines: types, ratings and reviews

For many, the main criterion for choosing a home coffee machine is a low price. If you study the topic of choosing coffee makers and coffee machines carefully, it turns out that the main number of functions that are offered in expensive models may be superfluous for home use. For example, it makes no sense to pay for a large volume of the tank (you have 1 liter of water), for adjusting the hardness of water, the temperature of coffee. At the same time, the function of a one-time cooking of two cups of coffee is very useful, especially in the morning, when the time before work is limited. Unfortunately, not all cheap coffee machines provide for it.

To use the house today buy two types of apparatus - carob and capsule. The main difference is in the type of coffee used. For the first use ground coffee, while for capsules - capsules with coffee powder, located inside. The main advantage of the latter is that in this case you need less care (cleaning, washing), in addition, they are very simple in the process of making coffee. At the same time, if you buy cheap capsules for a coffee machine, then the taste of the drink will not turn out to be so saturated. In the carobs, the coffee turns out to be rich and strong, while constantly washing the device.

The purchase of capsules will cost you more than buying grain or ground coffee. Therefore, the prices for such coffee machines are slightly lower.
