Built In Coffee Maker

Many homeowners do not appreciate losing counter space for an appliance and are increasingly turning to a built in coffee maker. These appliances can still be available for use at all times while keeping the surface of the counter free of clutter.

The prices of a built in coffee maker can run several thousands of dollars, but offer the convenience of not having to add water each time, as they are plumbed directly into the house. Adding water is as simple as determining how much coffee you are going to make and pushing the right button.

Adding grounds is accomplished by pulling out the basket, adding the filter and the grounds and some of the more expensive built in coffee makers are equipped with a coffee grinder as well, so your coffee is brewed using fresh ground beans, which also can be stored in the unit.

Some Less Expensive Models Not Plumbed

For those who cannot afford, or who don't wish to spend thousands of dollars on a coffee maker, there are less expensive models that fit into the wall or attach to the underside of a kitchen cabinet. Although Brew Express does offer a built in coffee maker which is plumbed into the wall and hard wired which costs about $450.00

A couple of units are simply a box cut into the wall into which a coffee maker placed. Its wire comes out the front to be plugged in and the entire unit is removed to add water and grounds. It is then placed back into the wall for brewing. Still, other built in coffee makers are designed to be hung from a bracket attached to the top of a conventional coffee maker to keep it raised above the surface.

There are a few advantages to the more expensive models of a built in coffee maker as they usually are self-filling, adding just the right amount of water after each brewing. All the user need do is add fresh grounds and turn it on. It not only frees an outlet in your kitchen, since it is wired directly into the house, many models also have plugs built into them, giving you more outlets than were originally available.
