Bean to Cup Coffee Machines
The beans you add to your coffee machine are not just seeds. They're a full spectrum of flavor. Bean-to-cup machines allow you to control the taste of your brew at the click of a button.
They employ a front-loading water tank and a pump that maintains the right pressure throughout the grinding and the brewing process. Many of these machines also serve perfectly texturized barista-style drinks.
Reservoir
Most coffee machines have a reservoir that stores the hot water to brew. The reservoir is located within the machine and is usually constructed of plastic or glass. Some models come with a water filtering system to ensure that the coffee is free of impurities.
When you turn the machine on it has a pump in it is able to pump water through the dispenser to the grinder and into the basket for the filter. After the coffee grounds have been ground the spray head then pulls them through the filter and into the cup below. The hot water passes through the filter and leaves behind a thin layer of crema (ground coffee with a velvety sheen) as it drips into the carafe.
Some bean-to cup coffee makers can make milky drinks, like cappuccinos and lattes. If you love these kinds of drinks, then you'll want to choose one that has built-in milk steam wand. This means that you can create drinks like this with the push of a button!

This feature is available on most models of the coffee machines we sell at Coffee Friends and comes in useful if you're trying extract the best flavor from each batch of beans. Some of our top models can even save your preferences for your preferred settings.
Hot-Water Tube
The machine may appear to be doing nothing but an easy task but it's really working difficult. It takes the water you put into the machine, and then it passes it through a tube that is connected to the hole at the bottom of the reservoir on one side and the heating element of aluminum on the other.
The water in the aluminum tube starts to boil when you turn on the machine. The bubbles created by the boiling water rise up through the opening in the reservoir's bottom and onto the exit hose. The bubbles carry hot water up the tube until it reaches the coffee pot.
If you're finding that your coffee maker is making odd sounds, this could indicate that something is not right in the one-way valve. This is either located at the bottom of the reservoir or in the aluminum heating tube. Without this valve, the boiling water would flow back into the reservoir instead of rising through the tube.
The hot water that is sprayed into the filter basket and over the ground beans will carry the flavor of the ground beans with it as it drips down the sides of the container. The water is absorbed by the ground coffee beans and releases the oils that give the cup of joe its delicious flavor.
Grinder
The grinder of a coffee machine grinds the beans just before brewing, making sure that the coffee is fresh in flavor. This is essential since coffee ground loses flavour and aroma quickly. Most fully automated models have adjustable settings that allow the user to alter the strength and taste of their coffee. Some models also come with built-in milk frothing to make latte and cappuccino, thereby increasing their capabilities.
