Selecting a Coffee Machine for Your Home - singlecup.ca - Online Coffee - Featured Image

It’s that time of year again where lattes and hot coffees make our workdays and weekends so much more enjoyable, but ordering Starbucks every day can get expensive.

If you are the type of person who enjoys a good cup of coffee as part of your morning routine, owning a coffee maker can save you a pretty penny! Ditch the drive-thru and opt for your own coffee maker this winter!


Types of Coffee Makers

However you enjoy your coffee, it’s so much more convenient and less expensive when you can make it yourself. A familiar favourite is the classic drip coffee machines, perfect for sharing with the family. A french press is simple to use and a traditional way to enjoy your brew and can also be easily shared if you have a large enough press. But if you all enjoy different blends and flavours, a single-serve option, like our Keurig K130 model, gives you the freedom to choose from any of our single-serve varieties. Perhaps you enjoy espresso, in which case something like the Jura A1, a perfect at-home espresso machine, would suit your needs.


How Do You Take Your Coffee?

If you can’t start your day without a latte or a cappuccino, a drip coffee maker or Keurig might only collect dust, but if you can’t budget a full espresso machine with a built-in milk frother you may have to make some compromises. Instead of the full bells and whistles version, opt for a more budget-friendly espresso machine that does the job without anything fancy. Finding a decent stand-alone milk frother isn’t difficult, especially with so many storefronts offering curbside pickup nowadays, and your wallet will thank you. An easy way to spice up your morning latte without spending a fortune on flavours is our delicious line of DaVinci Syrups!


Take into consideration how much counter space you’ll need for your new coffee maker and it’s companion gadgets, make sure you have the space before you buy! Do programmable settings matter to you or are you happy to pop a pod into the machine and that’s that? A fresh cup of coffee can be as convenient as you need it to be and we’re here to help you find your next cup!
