Not everybody out there needs the same kind of coffee maker, as different technologies can serve up a noticeably different flavor when the exact same kinds of beans are used. A 1 or 2 cup coffee maker may be ideal for a home where only one or two people actually drink coffee on a regular basis, whereas in a home replete with coffee guzzlers it is clearly going to be necessary to get something with much more capacity. Furthermore, with reference to brewing techniques and the different results they give (in terms of color, taste, and heaviness of the final coffee that is served), some people may opt for a simple and practical automatic drip-brew coffee maker whereas others may choose to have a French press or even an espresso machine. It is all dependent on individual tastes and needs, and that is why it is crucial for people to find the coffee maker that fits their particular lifestyle.

In most circumstances, people go out to buy coffee makers for themselves and one or two other people that may live with them—the average household with a four person family is likely to only have two coffee drinkers in the first place, right?! Hence, the 2 cup coffee maker is a very popular product that suits most buyers just fine. Additionally, 2 cup coffee makers are increasingly appealing from an aesthetic point of view as well as a practical one: cute new designs with side-by-side porcelain cups that can be fitted right into the coffee maker during the brewing process (rather than using the traditional coffee pot, which is just an extra dirty dish when you think about it—especially if only two people are going to drink the coffee!) are increasingly seen in kitchenware stores; furthermore, in terms of practicality, new designs include convenient functions such as anti-drip technology.

The so-called “coffee elite” is somewhat partial to more elaborate coffee maker technologies, many coffee snobs considering the average automatic drip-brew designs to simply be too generic and ordinary. The Italians—immortal coffee fanatics—provided their solution in the form of the espresso machine (though clearly not all Italians drink espresso, and those that do would keel over if they did every time they wanted that crisp, biting flavor of good coffee). What the espresso machine does that distinguishes it from most other coffee brewing technologies is it uses pressure to pass the water vapor through the coffee grounds, instead of just letting gravity do the work. The ultimate result is that espresso machines extract much more “oomph” per serving than other coffee makers, typically serving up 10 times more caffeine than an ordinary cup of coffee made with your typical automatic drip-brew coffee maker.

There are many other varieties, including the “dripolator,” percolators, vacuum brewers and so on and so forth, but surely most average home coffee consumers are going to stick with their traditional old (or perhaps new, considering the advances in designs and materials) 2 cup coffee maker. As the saying goes, “To each his own.” Enjoy your coffee no matter how you prepare it!
