As the name suggests, a Countertop Coffee Maker is a coffee machine you can keep on a counter. Depending on where you need it the most, you can install these coffee makers in your kitchen, living room or your home office. These machines can be fully-automatic coffee makers, semi-automatic coffee makers, and manual coffee makers. A fully-automatic coffee machine will give you coffee with a press of a few buttons while a semi-automatic coffee machine will require some manual inputs. Manual coffee machines are operated by pushing and pulling a lever that lets you customise how you want your coffee by controlling the pressure, water flow rate, and pre-infusion period.
