I found this video where a curious fellow decides to dissect and examine a drip coffee maker. While it is a basic coffee machine, the fundamental way it works is really how most drip coffee makers work, even those costing several hundred dollars.
Kids, don’t try this at home. =)
While at home you may not always require a perfectly timed espresso or a balanced cappuccino, you may want a consistently good, rich mug of good old fashioned coffee. Classic drip coffee makers are the way to go for achieving an easy and consistently good pot of coffee at home.
Automatic drip coffee makers are the most popular coffee makers on the market — especially in North America — and you’ll find them in a wide variety of styles, shapes, sizes and price ranges.
You’ll find everything from a single cup coffee brewer to 12 cup electric drip coffee makers with timers for grinding and brewing your coffee so it is sitting there waiting for you when you awake.
