They employ a front-loading water tank and a pump which maintains the proper pressure during the grinding and the brewing process. A lot of these machines are also serve perfectly texturized barista style drinks.

Reservoir

The majority of coffee machines have reservoirs that hold the hot water needed to make. The reservoir is usually constructed of glass or plastic and is located within the machine. Some models include a water filter that ensures that the coffee being brewed doesn't contain any contaminants.

Once the coffee grounds are ground and a spray head is able to pull them through the filter before dumping them into the cup below. The hot water is pushed through the filter, leaving behind a thin layer of crema (ground coffee that has a velvety sheen) as it drips into the carafe.

Hot-Water Tube

It may seem simple for coffee makers to turn the water in a cup into a carafe filled with hot, steaming java, but the machine is actually doing amazing work. It takes the water you put into the machine and runs it through the tube that is attached to the hole at the bottom of the reservoir on one side and then through the heating element made of aluminum on the other.

When you turn on the machine the resistive heating element starts to heat up, which causes the water in the aluminum tube to boil. The turbulence created by the boiling water creates bubbles which rise up the hole in the bottom of the reservoir, and then up the exit hose. Hot water flows on these bubbles to travel up the tube and then into the coffee machines Beans maker.

If you notice that your coffee maker is making odd sounds, it could mean that there is something wrong with the one-way valve that is either located in the hole at the bottom of the reservoir, or in the aluminum heating tube. This valve prevents the boiling water from flowing back into the reservoir instead of rising up the tube.

The hot water that is spraying into the filter basket, and over the ground beans will carry the flavor from the grounds with it as it drips across the sides of the container. The ground coffee beans absorb this water, and release the oils that contribute to the flavor of a delicious cup of joe.

Grinder

A coffee machine's grinder grinds beans prior to brewing to ensure the freshest taste. This is vital since coffee ground loses flavour and aroma very quickly.
