Description
A coffee machine is an appliance designed to brew coffee. It typically features a water reservoir, heating element, and a brewing mechanism.
Key components include:
1. **Water Reservoir**: Holds water, often removable for easy filling.
2. **Heating Element**: Heats the water to the optimal brewing temperature, usually between 195°F to 205°F (90°C to 96°C).
3. **Coffee Filter**: Holds coffee grounds while allowing brewed coffee to pass through; can be a paper or reusable metal filter.
4. **Carafe**: Collects the brewed coffee, usually made of glass or thermal materials to keep coffee hot.
5. **Control Panel**: Allows users to select brewing options, such as brew strength, temperature, and delay timers.
6. **Brew Basket**: Where coffee grounds are placed, positioned above the carafe.
