10 Amazing Coffee Machines that Celebrate the Art of Coffee
With coffee drinkers making up, up to 50% of the total American population*, and up to 400 million cups* of coffee drunk daily in America alone, coffee is a huge deal – not just in America but also all over the world.
Whether it’s the aroma that appeals or the dark bitter taste of a dark roast, whether you have it as an espresso shot or a long Americano, black white, with milk or without, the seemingly infinite options ensure that even if you’re not the biggest coffee fan you might find something that you like.
That said, the amazing diversity with which this drink can be created has also been a result of the numerous ways in which coffee can be brewed; from a completely automated bean to cup coffee machine, to a beautifully artistic drip-wise cold coffee brew left overnight.
