Having recently graduated from instant coffee and currently being stuck with using using tea infuser to make coffee I’d like to know what to look for when doing research on coffee machines

If location is relevant I’m in Queensland, Australia

    For drip coffee makers, most are pretty similar. The main differences come down to capacity and a few convenience features. If you’re open to trying other methods, you might also enjoy pour-over, cold brew, or French press. The Hario V60 is a great option for pour-over, offering more control over flavor and brew time.

    If you’re into espresso, just keep in mind that good espresso machines can get pricey. Look for one with consistent pressure (around 9 bars), a quality grinder, and a solid build. Manual espresso machines offer the most control, while automatic ones are more beginner-friendly.

      For drip machines, there is one that really stands out, the Mocca Master. It’s so much better than any other drop machine it’s insane.

      That said, get a burr grinder (old ones are totally okay, as long as they have burrs, not those “knifes”) that will bring much better coffee than any machine or expensive system can.

      The Mocca Master:

        The fellow Aiden is now a real competitor but with some fuss factor involved.

        I agree, if you want a coffee “machine” this is one of life’s easier decisions. Buy or start saving up for a moccamaster. I don’t think you should seriously consider the Aiden without at least starting with the simpler moccamaster.
