Coffeemaker is a kitchen appliance used for preparing coffee without the necessity of boiling water in a separate pot. The mechanism involved in coffeemaker just needs to add water into a reservoir and coffee grounds in to a filter. Coffee is automatically brewed and collected in a coffee cup.
How Coffeemaker Works
Cold water is first poured into a chamber using a measuring cup. The filter basket is then inserted with a coffee filter containing coffee grounds. The quantity used depends on the preferred concentration of coffee, and the coffeemaker is turned on.
The water pours through the outlet in the well and then flows through the hose. The presence of heating element here raises the temperature of water and flows to the drip holes beyond. Here, the boiling water trickles on to the coffee grinds. Water and coffee grinds are mixed well now and trickles back to the cup placed on a heat plate. The heat plate will no be warm, and maintains the temperature of coffee.

The upper part of the unit consists of holes through which water flows to the coffee grinds; this is called ‘Drip area’. The filter basket clamps the coffee grinds along with the filter; the coffee cup consists of the mixed coffee. At the back or side of the appliance is a chamber into which, water is poured initially.
The interior part of the coffeemaker contains a tube that is attached to the chamber on one side; the other side of the tube is fixed to a heating element. This heating element is again fixed to another tube, which leads to the coffee grinds.
