A Variety of Coffee Maker Accessories Are Available Today

 The types of water filters you use are also important though the most important part is that your filter fits properly. All coffee makers will provide you with a recommended filter size and you can easily run your coffee by using the wrong filter size. Reusable filters are another option though they can be annoying to clean.

There are several different coffee roaster machines you can use if you want to roast your own coffee. There is a hot air coffee roaster also called a fluid bed roaster. This roaster is just like popping popcorn at home and is perfect for those novice coffee roasters.

A drum roaster is larger and more expensive and is typically used for commercial coffee roasting. Drum roasters are the best for getting uniform roasting through all of the beans though they can be expensive and roasting the beans can take a long time.

Milk frothers are another fun coffee maker accessory as they can be used to create all different types of coffee drinks. Cappuccino, lattes and mocha chinos are but a few of the coffee drinks that use steamed milk. You can purchase either a milk steamer or a milk frother.

Your coffee maker may already have a steam wand on it as most espresso makers do. There are battery powered milk frothers and manual frothers that can be used to get your milk nice and frothy. However when using these you will need to pre-heat your milk to the correct temperature. Milk steamers will heat and froth your milk at the same time.
