We researched and tested coffee makers—including ones from Bonavita, Mr. Coffee, and Braun—to find the best ones that are more budget-friendly.
We used thermocouples to track the temperature of the brew basket and the water coming out of the machine's showerhead.Coffee extraction is affected by temperature, as higher temperatures will extract more from coffee. To track the brewing temperature, I used a thermocouple with two probes on each machine during brewing: one attached as closely as I could to the sprayhead to measure the temperature of the water coming out, and one at the bottom of the brew bed.
Thermal carafes kept coffee piping hot, whereas coffee makers with glass plates tended to "bake" coffee, giving it a burnt taste.I also measured the heat retention of the carafes, taking the temperature of the coffee right after brewing, after 30 minutes, and after an hour. Most of the higher-end machines came with thermal carafes, while the cheaper ones were split between thermal carafes and glass carafes with a hotplate.
An example of a well-designed shower head, with lots of holes over a wider area, which leads to a more even saturation of the brew basket.A well-designed showerhead acts as a water dispersion tool, making sure that the entire brew bed is evenly wet, which is important because you want your coffee grounds to be evenly extracted.
Some of the showerheads were too powerful, puncturing the top of the grounds and creating channels where water passed through too quickly and without extracting enough flavor, while the rest of the coffee was displaced and over-extracted.Some of the buttons or features on these machines were incredibly helpful. For example, a "bloom" setting saturates coffee beans with a bit of hot water, releasing carbon dioxide before brewing .
