Electric coffee makers are much more convenient and simpler to use. They can come with different features like timers or temperature regulation and you can even wake up to a coffee that has already been brewed. However, they do cost more and take up more space on the counter. Here is the list of some types of electric brewers:

Electric drip — you can mix and make your own blend, and add more or fewer grounds to have the strength of the brew that you like. Most simple appliances have an on/off switch that lets the hot water through the grounds, but you can find more complex machines with many features. Electric drip coffee makers are affordable and durable and can make coffee for 1 to 4 people at the same time. One of the cons is that the warming plate cooks the coffee that’s in the pot all the time.
Thermal coffee maker — works in a similar way as the previous model, but has a thermal carafe that keeps the coffee hot without “cooking” it. Although it’s a better solution, it’s also a bit pricier than the standard one.
Espresso machine — there are many different models that you can choose from (stovetop, pod machines, or the ones that make espresso using ground beans). The price ranges can be different, you can find affordable espresso machines but also some very expensive ones. This is a great option if you are an espresso lover and are ready to spend a little bit more money than you would on some other, more basic coffee brewers.
