Before finalizing a coffee machine, we recommend these 5 must-have features in a coffee machine.

• Brewing strength: The brew strength of a coffee machine is a technical feature that allows us to control the intensity of Coffee flavor. In India, people prefer to go for Regular or Bold flavor. Only a few would love Espresso shots because of its bitter taste.

• Temperature: The temperature is a very important factor in selecting the right Coffee maker. A coffee lover knows the importance of temperature in preparing coffee. As per international standards, a coffee maker should have temperature control in the range between 195 F to 205 F. If you use high temperatures than you would end up with a burning taste. Also if the water is not properly hot it would not extract the coffee from the grounds.

• Speed: If you are the person who likes to have coffee before rushing to office, then you must see the brewing speed. If it takes a longer time to brew it will not be suitable for you and in the end, you will regret buying this.

• Ease of Use: A good coffee machine is the one which is simple to operate and must have an auto-off button. It will be an added feature if the coffee machine has 24hrs brew start timer. You can set the coffee maker a day before. Always look for a self-cleaning option to control calcium built-up. Last but not the least, 1-2 cup coffee setting for the time when you don’t a full mug of coffee.
• Filtration: A branded coffee machine must have a separate water filter & Coffee filter. Water filter will remove impurities and maintains the natural aroma & taste of coffee. While coffee filter allows the essential oils from coffee beans to add another flavor in your cup. Normally a coffee maker comes with a gold-toned coffee filter and a charcoal water filter.
