Manual Coffee Machines FAQs

Why choose a manual coffee machine?

A manual coffee machine will give you a more hands-on approach to coffee making that can feel more satisfying for some enthusiasts, especially when looking for that perfect cup. Options like those from AeroPress are also portable and do not require plugging in to use, so you can make a cup on the go with ease.

Are manual coffee machines suitable for beginners?

Thanks to their easy-to-use design, manual coffee machines are relatively quick and simple to get started with. This makes them ideal if you are exploring different ways to enjoy coffee, including cold brew. They take a bit of practice if it’s your first time using them, but you’ll soon be enjoying high-quality coffee in no time.

What is the benefit of a coffee cold brew machine?

A cold brew coffee machine allows you to prepare smooth, refreshing coffee with lower acidity and bitterness. This can be a great option for summer drinks, cafés, or anyone who enjoys coffee served cold. If you’ve not had one before, a coffee cold brew machine is one of the easiest ways to prepare a cup and bring out more flavour.

Can I use manual coffee machines for espresso?

Some manual coffee machines, especially traditional lever-style models, are designed to create rich, authentic espresso easily. They require more hands-on brewing but offer rewarding results for those happy to put a little effort in. Using products like the AeroPress or Hario Coffee Syphon won’t get the rich crema result of espresso, but will still provide a strong, great-tasting cup of coffee.
