Bean to Cup Coffee Machines

The beans you place into your coffee machine aren't just a seed, they're a world of flavor. Bean-to cup machines allow you to control the taste of your brew at the push of a single button.

They employ a front-loading water tank and a pump that keeps the correct pressure throughout the grinding and brewing process. Many also dispense perfectly textured milk to make barista-style drinks.

Reservoir

Most coffee machines use water reservoirs that holds the hot water used in brewing. The reservoir is usually made of plastic or glass and is inside the machine. Some models include a water filtration system to ensure that the coffee is free of impurities.

When you turn on the machine, a pump inside of it pushes water through the dispenser to the grinder and into the basket for the filter. Once the coffee grounds are ground the spray head then pulls them through the filter and into the cup below. As the hot water drips into the carafe it is filtered leaving an unintense layer (ground coffee with a smooth sheen).

Hot-Water Tube

The machine may appear to be performing an easy job however, it's really working difficult. It takes the water you pour into the machine, and then it passes it through the tube attached to the hole in the bottom of the reservoir on one side, and the aluminum heating element on the other.

When you turn on the machine, the resistive heating element begins to heat up and that causes the water inside the aluminum tube to come to a boil. The turbulence generated by the boiling water generates bubbles that rise up through the hole in the bottom of the reservoir. They then rise to the exit hose. The bubbles carry hot water through the tube to the coffee maker.

If you notice that your coffee maker makes odd sounds, it could be that the one-way valve is malfunctioning. It is either in the drilled hole in the bottom of the reservoir, or in the aluminum heating tub. Without this valve it would cause the boiling water to return to the reservoir instead of rising up the tube.

As the hot water drips down the sides, it is carrying the flavor of the ground coffee beans. The water is absorbed by the ground coffee beans and releases the oils that give the cup of joe the delicious taste.

Grinder
