Should I Use Coffee Beans or Ground Coffee for My Home Coffee Machine?

I'd like to ask, do the home coffee machines sold on the market generally require coffee beans? Should I grind the beans with the machine to make coffee? Or is it sufficient to buy ground coffee?

We often have guests at home, and I usually serve them tea. But sometimes I think it would be nice to make coffee instead. However, I'm not very familiar with home appliances. Can anyone recommend home coffee beans to me?

1. First, may I ask if your purpose for buying coffee is for entertaining guests?

2. It's necessary to buy a fully automatic coffee machine. I recommend Philips models, and the domestic brand Donglong is also good.

3. I suggest buying coffee beans as they are easier to store. Ground coffee is not easy to preserve. Because the machine itself has a grinder.

4. If you have a group gathering with longer stays, you can use siphon coffee brewing equipment. First, it can improve your coffee brewing skills. Second, it allows everyone to participate and chat, enhancing friendship among everyone.

Generally speaking, coffee machines can use both beans and ground coffee. If your budget allows, spending 30,000-50,000 to buy one is a good option.

However, here's a small suggestion: besides a coffee machine, you might also consider a pour-over set (filter + dripper + kettle) for about 1,500, a siphon for about 2,000, or a moka pot for about 2,500.

There's a saying... pour-over is elegant, siphon is romantic, and moka is minimalist. This description not only characterizes the feeling of the equipment but also includes the different flavor profiles that the same beans can present with different equipment. Of course, a coffee machine is the simplest and most convenient to use.

When guests come to your home, not only can they enjoy coffee, but they can also appreciate your elegant posture while making coffee.
