A brief introduction to different types of coffee.
Coffee is the name of the magical plant that its seed is roasted and turned into a lovely dark beverage that we all love so much.
Yet we only know this drink in the name of coffee, but there is much more to it.
This drink is the go-to beverage when you need energy or wake up first thing in the morning. The caffeine that this drink contains raises the average cortisol levels of our blood, and it gives us power.
Therefore, we all love a good coffee, you may say some people are even addicted to it, but as we told you, you have to be between the limits.
Let’s talk about what types of coffee exist.
The coffee plant divides into three breeds; Arabica, Robusta, and Liberica.
These are the main breeds of coffee; needless to say; these are the primary ones. There are more than 100 different kinds of coffee.
One specific quality sets them apart when comparing these primary breeds: acidity.
The rate of PH and acidity on all of these breeds are different, giving them colorful tastes and textures even.
Now let’s move on and get to the article’s exciting part: the specialty coffee equipment.
Six types of equipment are popular in the coffee industry.
Here we have six gadgets made for brewing coffee and some bonus equipment made for coffee; let’s read through this chapter and find the bonus equipment.
We shall list them now:
Let’s start with the most common:
The Drip coffee maker
This type of device is prevalent, and you can find it in pretty much every office or home; this machine uses coffee pods and capsules that have a one-time use. It gets ready fast. That’s why so many people have it.
Price range: 40-80$
This one is more special.
The Pour-over or V60
this gadget is usually made from ceramic or temper glass and has a V shape; typically, the only coffee brewed with this one is single-origin high-brand coffees.
It takes a tad longer, and it needs a paper filter and hot water every time you use it, but the taste would be immaculate.
Price range: 28-70$
The French press
the French press is more of a multiple-use device. It has a mug-like body and a pressing handpiece that pushes and filters coffee on the bottom of the body.
You can also brew tea and herbal beverages besides coffee when we say multiple-use. It acts as a bit of teapot whenever you like. But it takes around 10 minutes to brew a cup of coffee, and that’s the downside of it.
Price range: 50-120$
The AeroPress
This is the European cousin of the French press and works in a whole different way.
This one works more with gravity and muscle strength; it needs a paper filter and water every time you use it, but it can taste quite fantastic. Learn more about Aeropress.

The espresso coffee machine
The industrial espresso maker is the highest mountain on our list; this one has the fancy to brew espresso under 10bars of pressure meaning 100% quality if you use it right.
