What Will Make the Best Coffee Makers of the Future?
It will be a decade or so before there is a new major advancement in coffee brewing technology. As soon as the human race becomes adept at the most rudimentary elements of coffee making, they will have a better grip on the way we shop for and prepare the beverage we drink most. It will be such a shame if future generations do not enjoy coffee the way we do now. We are going to take a look at some of the things that would make the best coffee makers of tomorrow.
One of the most popular features that the best coffee makers of tomorrow will have is "smart" capabilities. A good example is the ability to read your hand. Most machines will read the size of your hand and automatically adjust the temperature to match it. Imagine being able to take a sip even when you are on the phone or in a meeting because the machine would know your hand was small enough to make it work. Imagine then if your coffee maker could also detect the gender of your significant other, read the number of children you have, your type of business or maybe even your mood before deciding how hot you want it.
As you might expect, the best coffee makers of tomorrow will include the capability to brew anything from creamer to a cappuccino. They will come with what is called a pod system which will allow them to brew almost any kind of beverage. In fact, many people believe that the best coffee makers of tomorrow will have systems that can brew from your digital pictures. That way you would never run out of coffee again.
One feature that I am really looking forward to is the ability to brew coffee in much smaller volumes than we have today. There will be pressure levels that will control the volume of water you will use and an automatic coffee "brew-out" button that will finish the rest of the pot. Perhaps we will finally be able to enjoy the sweetness of an espresso shot without having to lug it around a water cooler. The best coffee makers of tomorrow should also make it easier to heat up and store the grounds. pre-heated thermos will make it possible to make coffee in a relatively short amount of time. Of course, you will also be able to conveniently store your brewed coffee for later. Think about it - if you are in the car and you are running low on coffee, you will only need to preheat your thermos for a couple of minutes and you will have coffee all ready to go.
Another feature that would make the best coffee makers of tomorrow would be the ability to sort your coffee. A few machines will be able to sort your coffee by keeping it separate from the milk or using a mesh filter. This will be especially helpful if you find yourself on the road with only one cup of coffee. However, the best coffee makers of tomorrow will make it possible to store several different kinds of coffee at once.
The most modern day coffee makers today do not include this feature. The best coffee makers of tomorrow will automatically determine what kind of coffee you like and store the variety of coffee beans you like in its appropriate place. This will be especially useful if you are in a hurry and need a quick cup of coffee, but don't want to be subjected to purchasing several different kinds of coffee just to find the one you want. Also, the best coffee makers of tomorrow will be able to sort your coffee beans according to roast and level of bitterness.
Hopefully, by the time we reach the year 2020 we will have come a long way in this technological age, and we will have become used to the latest coffee makers. I suspect though that with our fast paced lifestyle, the best coffee makers of tomorrow will be considered "old fashioned" by a lot of people, but I am hopeful that they will adapt to it anyway.
