What is a geyser coffee maker and how does it work?

The body of a geyser coffee maker consists of a lower and an upper part, screwed on top of each other. The lower part acts as a reservoir for water, the number of cups that can be prepared in one approach depends on its volume. After pouring water, a coffee filter is inserted into the lower part, into which coffee is poured. The coffee filter is a constructive part of the coffee maker, it is not replaceable. The upper part is screwed on top and the coffee maker is put on fire or included in the cheat.

The principle of the coffee maker is based on natural steam pressure. When water boils, steam is formed, which, rising upward, squeezes the water into the upper compartment. Water is saturated with coffee, passing through the coffee filter, and a ready-made aromatic drink enters the upper part.

Is a geyser or drip coffee maker better?

These are two different coffee makers that prepare different drinks. In the drip jar, and you can only cook Americano. And espresso is made in the geyser. You can dilute the espresso with hot water and get an Americano.

Drip is good in that it does not require accuracy. You don't need to gently pour coffee into the small filter. But this is a very dubious plus.

How to choose a geyser coffee maker

Buyers often wonder how to choose a good geyser coffee maker. When buying, you must first of all focus on the type of plate. For induction hobs, the bottom of the appliance must be made of steel. Any material is suitable for electric and gas stoves, including aluminum. It is not recommended to purchase painted models for gas stoves, since the paint can lose its presentation under the influence of open fire.

Steel coffee makers are somewhat more expensive and easier to maintain (dishwasher safe). Aluminum coffee makers have a wider range of models, but they do not work with induction hobs and must be washed by hand.

If we compare the electric and drip geyser of the same price category, then the first one will produce a smaller volume of coffee, but, at the same time, the coffee is richer and more aromatic. In drip coffee more.

Volume

Everything is simple here, if you are going to drink coffee alone, then a coffee maker for 1-2 cups is suitable for you. If there are 3 coffee lovers in the family, then choose a coffee maker for 4-9 servings.

Please note that in Russia it is not common to drink a small espresso for one sip. Therefore, if there are 2 coffee lovers in your family, then it is better to buy a coffee maker for 4 servings at least.

Overpay for a brand or take an inexpensive Chinese one?

Buying a branded coffee maker you get a quality product that prepares espresso according to all the rules. Also, durability and reliability depend on the price. It would seem, why break here? In inexpensive, the filter membrane quickly cracks, which is problematic to buy.All threads, fasteners, valves are made much more reliable on a branded coffee maker.
