Automatic coffee maker is different from automatic espresso machines, for those that are looking for the latter, my espresso maker page would have the relevant information.

In a nutshell, automatic coffee maker refers to drip filter coffee maker, then again, aren't all drip filter automatic? Yes, they are but I guess it is just like saying single serve coffee maker, most people would know that single serve coffee refers to the machine, why still add in the word -maker.

Anyway, we are not here to argue about the use of language (in fact, throughout my site, you would have noticed that my grammar sucks!), this page would explore why are automatic coffee maker still surviving despite the competition from the espresso machines and the single serve coffee.

It is not as simple to use as a single serve coffee maker, and it doesn't make coffee that are as intense (espresso) or mellow (latte) as the espresso machines, so why are people still buying these drip filter coffee maker?

Personally, I believe, much of it has to do with the nostalgia feeling. Most of us, especially those living in US, grows up smelling the aroma from bunn or mr coffee coffee makers. Daddy would be sipping the coffee while reading his papers, while mummy would be spreading the toast.
