How to Buy A Coffee Maker

Coffee is how most people in the United States (and throughout much of the rest of the world) start their day. It helps people overcome the grogginess of waking up in the morning and keeps them productive throughout the day.

Nowadays, it’s a regular enough part of life that it’s expected to be offered from office break rooms to anywhere breakfast is served. Coffee makers are also one of the most common appliances found in homes today.

From the devoted coffee lovers to those who simply turn to it for the occasional pick-me-up, few people need to be convinced of the benefits of owning their own coffee maker. But with coffee shops a familiar sight in most cities, not everyone considers the benefits of making their own at home.

4 Benefits of Owning a Coffee Maker

Owning a coffee maker can pay dividends, both in how much money it saves you and in how much it adds to your life:

1. Savings vary based on how you like your coffee, but if you drink at least one cup of coffee every day you’re probably saving $2-$3 a day making your own. Over a year, that’s around $1,000.
2. You’ll save both gas and time by skipping that trip to the coffee shop.
3. You can make pretty much whatever type of coffee you like best at home (and have some options you won’t find at your usual coffee shop).
4. That coffee smell you like so much will fill your kitchen every morning.

If anything, making your own coffee at home gives you more room to be picky about choosing the type of coffee you like best and crafting the perfect cup to your tastes every time you brew a pot. And no matter how you cut it, as long as you use your coffee maker rather than falling back on the familiar habit of buying coffee by the cup at your local Starbucks, you will save money in the equation.
