Drip Coffee Maker - If your household drinks a lot of coffee or you want something convenient and essentially foolproof, a drip machine is the way to go.
French Press - If you’re into rich, full-bodied coffee, then the French Press is for you. This method brews by soaking ground coffee directly in hot water—rather than letting water pass through the grounds.
Pour-Over - If you want a delicate, lighter-bodied coffee that gives you (almost) complete control over the flavor of your cup, then you’ll appreciate a classic pour-over coffee. It’s made by placing a simple filter cone over a coffee cup or carafe, filling that filter with ground coffee, pouring hot water over it, and letting it drip through.
Aeropress - Is is a favorite for coffee lovers on the go. This compact brewing device acts like a syringe, with a plunger forcing hot water and grounds through a filter and straight into your cup. Coffee brewed in an Aeropress boasts a super-quick brew time and is generally smooth with low acidity.
Espresso Machine - If you like powerful coffee and espresso-based drinks (and have extra counter space and the money to spend), consider getting an espresso maker. In this brewing method, a small amount of hot water is forced under a large amount of pressure through finely-ground coffee beans, which results in a super concentrated coffee.
Moka pot - If you want to make strong coffee but don’t want to purchase an espresso machine, the Moka pot (a.k.a. stovetop percolator) is for you. Like with espresso, boiling water—pressurized by steam—is passed through ground coffee, and the result is rich, flavorful, and highly concentrated.
Cold brew - Is made by soaking coffee grounds in cold or room temperature water for 16 to 24 hours. It’s a slow extraction method, resulting in a smooth, heavy-bodied coffee.
