For many, coffee is a must for a successful start to the day. Fortunately, a great coffee maker doesn't have to cost the earth. Here's a list of affordable coffee machines that do what they're supposed to do: brew a good cup of coffee.
Making good coffee is a craft, and we all prefer it in different ways. Some like plain black brewed coffee, others like to take their time to get the perfect milk foam. It's easy to think that the most expensive machines make the best coffee, but that's not necessarily the case. Here are some tips on coffee machines under one hundred pounds that make drinking coffee a pure pleasure.
With a coffee press, it is both quick and easy to brew really good coffee. Put ground coffee in the pot and pour hot water over it, then let it sit for five minutes before pressing. When you're done, just wash it out, either by hand or in the machine. A bonus is that it hardly takes up any space.

£51.00A classic coffee brewer only needs coffee and water, then brews automatically. Here you will need to buy coffee filters, but if you choose multiple use coffee filters it is a one-time investment.
A pod machine is perhaps the easiest to use of all. You insert a coffee capsule and then you get a good cup of coffee - that's it. You don't have to worry about coffee filters and there are many different types of capsules and flavors to choose from.
