Coffee & Espresso Makers

Wake up to a hot cup of coffee with our wide range of coffee makers.

Enjoy your morning cup of coffee just the way you like it. When it's time for a new coffee machine, there are a variety of factors to consider. In addition to serving piping hot coffee, coffee makers are also stylish kitchen accessories. Choose from a sleek black, stainless steel or even modern metallic red. Select a traditional or contemporary design to suit your living space. Also consider features like programmable functionality and auto-shut off.

Drip coffee makers can brew anywhere from one cup to 100. Do you want a single cup or a pot that serves the whole family? You can choose from single cup coffee makers and coffee makers with both single and multi-cup options. If you love the taste of freshly ground beans, look for a coffee maker with a grinder. For those who like to travel, choose a portable coffee maker that can go from home to the cottage or campsite. Once you've decided on the ideal machine, sit back and enjoy a great cup of java.

FAQs

How do you clean a coffee maker?

Cleaning your drip coffee maker, espresso machine or single-serve coffee maker every few months will remove mineral buildup and help to preserve the heating element and other internal parts. There are many commercial descaling solutions available that can do an excellent job. Alternatively, you can run a 50/50 solution of white vinegar and water through your machine. Be sure run a cycle of water afterwards to remove any lingering vinegar taste or smell.

Can you grind coffee beans in a blender?

Yes, but with a few caveats. If your blender has a ‘grind’ setting you should be fine. If not, it will still work in a pinch but repeated grinding of dried coffee beans may dull the blades in your blender over time. You can also use the pulse setting on a food processor, but the same watch-out applies. A bigger issue is the quality of the grind. Your brew will be better if the coffee particles are all a uniform size. For this you’ll get the best results with a proper coffee grinder.

Are coffee carafes interchangeable?

No. Carafes do come in common cup sizes (4 cups, 6 cups etc.), but the height and circumference of your carafe is specific to your machine. However, you can find replacement coffee carafes for many popular brands and models.

How do you use a French press?

A French press uses a form of immersion brewing and using it is actually quite simple if you follow a few tried and tested rules-of-thumb:

Preheat your carafe with a swirl of warm water to prevent heat fluctuations that would occur when your actual hot water comes in contact with a cold carafe
Whether you’re purchasing coffee or grinding your own, be sure it’s the right grind for a French press (usually a medium-coarse grind)
Measure or weigh out your coffee for your desired number of cups (1 part coffee for every 15 parts water)
Add your coffee to the carafe
Heat your water to approximately 93 °C, or just off the boil, then add it to the coffee and give it a quick stir
Put the lid on (do not push the plunger yet!) and set the timer (usually four minutes but check the instructions for your machine)
Once the timer goes off, slowly press the plunger all the way down to prevent your coffee from continuing to brew
Pour and enjoy (decant any remaining coffee into another vessel or it will continue to extract flavour and become bitter)
