Are expensive coffee makers worth it?
It’s also frequently true that more expensive coffee makers do actually make better coffee. That’s because brewing coffee has a limited number of inputs; things like the quantity of coffee beans, the grind of coffee beans, the quantity of water, the temperature of water, and the brewing time. Whether an expensive coffee machine is worth it depends on your priorities. If you’re serious about espresso, investing in a higher-end machine gives you better consistency in temperature and features. But not everyone needs all the bells and whistles,” explains david cutler, head of training at lavazza.
Is K-Duo a good coffee maker?
I give the K-Duo a passing grade. The drip coffee is smooth and brews quickly, and I loved the strong brew single-serve feature. However, the customization is limited to pod brewing — plus, the iced and extra-hot settings are average at best. The K-Duo is great for large households with different coffee preferences. A replacement for the discontinued K200-K575, the K-Duo brews both single K-Cups and full 60 oz carafes with the reusable Gold Tone filter. The Essentials builds on the K-Duo with a 6 oz brew size and Strength Control. The Coffee Maven’s editors select and review products independently.
