Choose Your Method

There are a number of different machines for brewing coffee: the automatic coffee maker, French press, percolator, Aeropress, Chemex... The list goes on. While coffee experts can spend all day arguing about which method is best and for which types of brew, your job is just to figure out which one works for you. That means evaluating the various prices, brew times, brew quantities, maintenance and upkeep requirements, and flavor outcomes that each produces. This is a vital first step, as it has a major impact on the coffee you get in your cup each morning.
