Filter coffee makers
Filter coffee makers offer a quick way to make fresh coffee and are very easy to use - water drips through a filter containing ground coffee, infusing in a pot below. They're available in various cup volumes and may either have paper or permanent filters; paper are more hygienic and are simply thrown away, whereas permanent filters can be difficult to clean but do save you money.

Traditional pump espresso machines
Espresso machines are ideal for lovers of strong, intense-flavoured coffee. Espresso machines are steam driven machines; they use a separate tank, which heats the water to the perfect temperature that is then sent through the coffee holder at the correct pressure. Most espresso machines have a steam tube allowing you to make cappuccinos and lattes.

Pod machines
The drinks ingredients are enclosed within small, portioned 'pods' that are inserted into the machine, which then adds water and milk to prepare your drink. The coffee inside the pods can stay fresh for up to nine months and come in a wide range of flavours.

Nespresso® machines
Nespresso machines are the next-generation of coffee makers, with a system that controls the water pressure to ensure a perfectly brewed coffee every time. There are no messy filters to clean out, and it's a very simple way to make an excellent cup of coffee. The coffee itself is bought in sealed aluminium capsules, which come in a large variety of types and flavours. The capsules are available through the online Nespresso Club or via Nespresso boutiques.

Bean to cup machines
Using whole, fresh coffee beans rather than ground coffee, bean to cup coffee machines grind the coffee especially for each cup, then brew the coffee into the cup and eject the coffee grinds into a tray. Some models have a fully automatic process for frothing milk and adding it to your cup, for even less effort.
