By Stella Ryne,
Is there anything better than enjoying your warm, delicious cup of coffee? Probably not. Coffee is one of the most consumed and one of the most popular beverages in the world.
Some of the reasons why people enjoy having coffee are because it energizes them and helps them stay awake when needed eg. to finish their work. Another reason why people enjoy this beverage is that coffee connects people, it’s an excuse and an invitation to meet someone for socializing.
One of the places where you can do that is at the coffee house where you can enjoy the taste of barista-made coffee. But, if you’re not a fan of going to crowded places and pubs, maybe it’s time you start considering buying a coffee machine for yourself.
That way, you can enjoy the quality and tasteful coffee in a short time and you can have your friends over so you can enjoy it together while catching up on all the gossip. If this isn’t enough for you, let’s take a look at 10 reasons why you should buy a coffee machine.
1. Money-saving
If you’re a real coffee lover you probably go quite often to the pubs and coffee houses where you can get what you’re craving for. But, the more often you go to these places the
more you spend money. On average, a cup of coffee at the pub or a café costs $4 and this doesn’t sound that much and expensive until you sit down and do the math. This means you’re likely to spend hundreds of dollars on coffee at coffee houses and cafés.
True, you earn your money and you enjoy your coffee so this seems trivial but if you’d like to save some move that you’d spend at the café and tipping the barista, maybe you should consider buying a coffee machine. This way, you can save up some money that you can spend on other things such as a weekend getaway or going to the concert of your favourite musician.
Not to mention that buying a coffee machine you get a chance to enjoy delicious coffee at home every day.
2. Tasteful entertainment
Buying and having a coffee machine can be used for fun and entertainment purposes. The entertainment could be aimed both at you and your guests. If you’re one of those people that enjoy trying out new things and those who get easily bored and are tired of using same things every day, then getting a new item in your household seems like a perfect idea.
So, why not get a coffee machine then? Buying a coffee machine can be a fun and experimental experience for you. With this machine, you can be creative as much as you like and you can enjoy different aromas. By placing some of your favourite Bluepod coffee pods you get a chance to enjoy the pleasure of trying out different tastes and smells.
3. More control
With a coffee machine, you’re able to have more control in the process of making your coffee. When you’re at a coffee house or a café, you don’t have an option to choose a ground level you prefer. At those places, coffee makers and baristas grind the coffee as they usually do, no matter your preferences.
But, when you have a coffee machine you get an opportunity to have more control over the brewing and grinding process. Most people know exactly how they like their coffee, and in most cases, they’re not able to get it that way because only they know how to make it as they like it.
So, if you’re one of those people that never get their coffee as you like it, and if you’re a true coffee lover then it’s time for you to get yourself a coffee machine so you can enjoy the privilege of making your coffee the way you like it.
4. Fun for guests
Enjoying your brand new coffee machine doesn’t have to be reserved just for you, let your friends and guests enjoy it, too. When you have friends, family or guests over it’s likely some of them would like to have a cup of coffee, especially if they’re coming over for a lunch.
There’s nothing better than a nice smelling aroma filling up your kitchen and both you and your guests enjoying that smell. Alright, maybe it can get better than – a chance of tasting that smelling coffee aroma. With a coffee machine, you can enjoy those two things at the same time.
Your guests or friends can help you out by putting the dishes away after lunch, while you’re making coffee. Or, you can show your friends and guests how that’s done so they can experience the fun and entertainment of making coffee themselves. They’ll appreciate having a delicious cup of coffee and having a chance to see how the machine works.
After the coffee’s made, you and your guests can sit back, relax and enjoy your coffee and your time together.
5. New knowledge
If you’re not very familiar with a coffee world, you can use the opportunity of getting a coffee machine as a chance to learn more about coffee, its history and its secrets. This machine can give you an opportunity which will open a new world for you – a coffee world.
This can be a chance for you to explore the world of coffee which is always evolving and changing, synced with our world. Use your coffee machine to gain new knowledge and broaden your present knowledge of geography, seasonality, coffee grinding and different tastes of coffee.
Don’t forget that to better understand the coffee, what you’re drinking and more importantly what you like – you need more practice of making it and more cups to drink it. As with any new experience when you’re gaining new knowledge it gets easier and simpler with more practice.
6. Morning coffee
Probably one of the most common reasons why people get coffee machines is because they can enjoy their first cup of coffee in the morning. With a coffee machine, you don’t have to rush to get to the coffee house before you get to work. And you don’t have to spend extra time waiting in the line to make an order.
Buying a coffee machine you can save that time and all those nerves waiting for the order, and instead, you can make your own coffee, enjoy it at home with breakfast or take it with you so you can enjoy it at work. Besides, you can add the process of making coffee to your morning routine as your ritual that you can enjoy in the morning to have a better and relaxing day.
7. Practical
One of the best things about having a coffee machine is that you don’t need to do anything except to get your favourite mug and press the button and let the magic happens. It can’t get any easier than this. After you’ve made your coffee and drank it, you need to clean the machine.
The good news is that cleaning your coffee machine doesn’t take much time and it’s almost effortless. You just need to empty the capsules or the pods and that’s all. You don’t have to take the machine to pieces to clean it, but remember to occasionally put a limescale tablet so your machine can continue working properly.
8. Environmental friendly
Every time you go to the coffee house to get yourself a cup of coffee you end up having it in a plastic cup. This way, you and your cup of coffee are being part of more than one billion coffee cups which are sent to landfill yearly. Keep in mind that it takes thousands of years for each cup to decompose.
Using a coffee machine at home you’re probably going to use a mug, so if you use a mug every day you’re doing some good deeds for the Earth and saving hundreds of cups from piling up in the landfill. Another way how you can do a good deed for the Erath is by using your coffee leftovers from the coffee machine for making compost for your garden.
9. It’s convenient
Imagine it’s raining outside and the weather is not that nice. If that’s the case all you want to do is roll in your favourite blanket and watch a TV show. But, what happens if you wish to have a cup of coffee and you can’t do that due to rain?
Well, with a coffee machine in your home you can satisfy your coffee needs without the need of leaving your home. Sometimes, strolling around in your home wearing your pyjamas and treating yourself with a delicious cup of coffee freshly made is all you need.
10. Improve your creativity
Use your coffee machine to express your creativity by playing around on how you serve the coffee. Latte art is a fun and a creative way of decorating and serving coffee, and it’s getting more and more popular. It’s used to create various patterns and shapes with a mixture of milk and coffee but in a specific way.
Not everyone will want to try out this, but if you’re one of the creative ones you should use your coffee machine to try out a new skill and express your imagination. Learn a new skill, practice it and show off in front of your friends, family or a partner when they come over for a cup of coffee. Imagine how impressed they will be when you serve them coffee with a bear staring at them from a mug.
