So to save time and get a better tasting coffee cup, many people and businesses are interested in purchasing a coffee maker or coffee machine. They would like to find out how a coffee maker works, so that they can choose the right machine.

Basic function

The basic coffee machine will mix the milk, water with the coffee in the right proportion to make a cup or glass of coffee. The machine has a provision for storing the coffee in the form of beans or grounds. It also has a section which is filled with water and milk. Depending on the type of coffee required, when the button for making coffee is pressed, the electronics, software in the coffee machine will ensure that the right amount of coffee is mixed with the milk for a specific duration of time and then dispensed through the outlet of the coffee machine.

Design features

Since most people drink coffee with a friend, office colleague or family member, many of the coffee machines have a provision for making two cups of coffee at the same time. The automated coffee machines have a number of buttons so that the user can easily choose the type of coffee which he wishes to drink like cappuccino, latte, or espresso. Usually the price of the coffee maker is directly proportional to the features available, at the same capacity.
