The Difference Between Semi-Automatic Coffee Machine Coffee and Drip Coffee Machine Coffee

I. American Coffee Machine

Coffee brewed by an American coffee machine is originally quite light. This is because its principle is to pour water over coffee grounds and then let it flow into the lower pot. American coffee machines are usually divided into upper and lower layers in appearance, with the lower layer being a glass or ceramic coffee pot. However, American machines are very inexpensive - around 200 yuan can get you quite good quality. A new use has been discovered for American machines: they can brew tea.

Generally brewed through an American drip pot, there is one similarity to espresso machines: American drip also allows hot water to pass through the coffee grounds compartment to extract coffee. But the difference is that the hot water is at normal pressure. American coffee machines have no pressure, so what they brew is just black coffee, which is American coffee.

Coffee brewed by an American coffee machine is relatively light, without coffee oils. Everyone's taste is different, and you cannot make other fancy coffee drinks with it.

Drip Coffee Machine Coffee Bean Brand Recommendations

FrontStreet Coffee's fresh-roasted single-origin drip coffee machine coffee beans have full guarantees in both brand and quality, suitable for brewing with various equipment. More importantly, the cost-performance ratio is extremely high. A half-pound (227 grams) bag costs only about 80-90 yuan. Calculating based on 200ml per cup of single-origin coffee with a 1:15 coffee-to-water ratio, one bag can make 15 cups of specialty coffee. Each cup of single-origin coffee only costs about 5-6 yuan, which is extremely cost-effective compared to cafe prices that often charge tens of yuan per cup.
