Semi-Automatic coffee makers are perfect for those who want simply a cup of coffee in the morning and don’t want to fuss with gadgets, bells and whistles. Featuring a boiler, manual filtration system and switch to engage the process. Now you can grind your coffee the way you want and tamp the espress (insert a coffee pod) and begin the extraction process. If you choose to steam or froth the milk, you will have to do this part yourself unlike the features found within superautomic coffee makers.

Now you can enjoy a cup of your favorite hot flavorful espresso and espresso-based coffees with single serve machines. Single serves allow you to avoid having to brew a whole pot when all you want is one cup. You can brew a single serving vanilla cappuccino for you, then a decaf hazelnut for a friend. Choose from machines featuring K-cups, ESE pods and capsules. All offer fresh, pre-measured, perfectly ground and tamped coffee.

The two most common types of semi-automatic coffee makers include: manual coffee machines & and programmable doses. For Manual Machines, once you initiate the shot on a manually controlled Semi-Automatic, you will also need to keep watch and stop it once the extraction is complete. This will give you some additional real-time control over the length of your extractions. Programmable Doses are Semi-Automatics that allow you to program the extraction switch to turn off after a specific amount of time.
